Amy

A little girl is afraid of the wolf living with her in the house. My 2nd year animation, called Amy. Done in TVPaint. Backgrounds done with waterpaint. EDIT: I named her Amy, because the song Amy In The White Coat by Bright Eyes inspired me. The lyrics are about the same topic and I really like the broken feeling the song expresses. The story of Amy itself is inspired by my previous animation The Monster Under My Bed and some artistic outings I took with the art of that film. I was just drawing and adjusting that art as an experiment and slowly this story developed. It’s way different than the happy Monster-animation, but I really like how it developed. I’m happy that 9 years later Amy is still being watched and brings forth all these different emotions in people. There are even reaction-videos! Wow! I’m so honoured! When I made it, my teacher resisted the cruel idea, but I’m happy I pushed for my idea and created this animation.
