I chose to use paper cut outs for my animation. I used watercooler on my cut outs. I decided to have a narrative where one character wants to give a note to another character. This note is obviously some kind of love letter. But she is worried and decides not to give it at the last minute. But then the wind takes the note and it goes flying all over the place. She thinks she can get the note, but then loses it. Then thinks she can get it again. And then is horrified when it lands right in the lap of the very person she did and did not want to have it. How will it be received? I decided to go with music and no voices. The way I did this, I thought it lent itself well to just music. And I love that the name of the first song is Audacity of Hope. The second is Our Colors. Some things didn't turn out the way I wanted and some things turned out better than I hoped.
