Description: Amara and Her Glow - animatic

I loved the whole thing. The video itself had a glow with the softness of the drawings, the calming and reassuring voice of the narrator, the smooth and connected transitions. There wasn't anything missing nor was there any gilding of the lily. The story lasted as long as it needed to communicate the message comfortably. The strength of the message of the story was the root and stem around which the story was able to bloom as well as it did.

Aww that is so so sweet of you to say. Thank you! I truly appreciate it. I am working on keyframe movements now to be a full animatic and then work on a full color short animation:) Best of luck in your animation endeavors!

Beautifully told. Are you creating a children's book for this story?
T
Tara---
Oh thanks, I never thought of that! I want to do a 2D animated series based on my little sister and then a live action/animation feature.

You're very sweet. Thank you so much! Ive had this character for a couple years now and she has been from 5yr to 6yr but now I think it best at 10yrs!

This is such a beautiful story! Finding strength in who we are is such a real and meaningful human experience, and you captured that beautifully in your project. The emotions came through really clearly, and the message felt both powerful and genuine. Great job creating something so heartfelt and relatable!

Tara---
Thank you so so much Lexi:) Im glad that comes through as being an adult is sometimes hard for me to catch what a child would feel but then I get out of my own way and it comes through better!

Your story made me feel like I was glowing! Such a positive and heartwarming story. The drawings and music really match the tone of the story you are telling. It is tender but also dynamic and uplifting. The relationship between Amara and her grandmother is very sweet and I love how learning about her heritage fills her with self confidence. I wonder if it might be interesting to add some color which could emphasize her glow and when it disappears and comes back. Nice work!

Tara---
Oh thats so kind of you to say. Thank you very much! I will definitely be adding color as I develop the "in betweens"! Ive been working on each color layer slow but sure. But I love that you recognized that, I agree!

Very cute story. I felt the story is simple and the sketches are really cute. Consistency of those pictures is really good.

Tara---
Thank you so much. the best way I have found for me to stay consistent is copy and paste!! I use keyframing and flipbook in Procreate / Procreate dreams and have found its easier to copy and paste the last frame for the next frame!
