JUST A GIRL


Short Film, To Be Completed February 2009 Duration: 2:30 minutes
Animation: Hand Sketches, Flash & After Effects

Once upon a time, there was a girl who longed for a thicker skin...

This short animation is based on a poem written by Clare Young and follows the story of a young girl.  This film marks the first collaboration of Marisa and Clare as Directors, Clare's first screenwriting credit and Marisa's first full animation credit.

Told simply by a caring narrator, the girl shows us her world in simple black and white sketches.  The film was made using Adobe Photoshop, Flash and After Effects with a wacom drawing tablet and good, old fashioned lead pencils on paper.

Clare Young's beautifully simple original piano score was recorded at Canberra's Artsound FM studios on their grand piano.
