Wings by Casey McDonald

Wings is a short animated film created by Casey McDonald as her final year thesis at School of Visual Arts. Casey McDonald is currently a freelance animator and has created works for Salesforce, Luminopia and many more. The story is about a little mouse named Nutmeg who collects feathers because she wanted to learn how to fly. One day, when she was out collecting feathers, she came across an injured bird named Bluebell. So she took Bluebell in and help nursing him back to health. When Bluebell was fully recovered, he did not just fly away. Instead, he let Nutmeg ride on his back so Nutmeg can finally fly. The reason I picked this particular work is because I think the animation was very well done.I can also find many elements that relates to what we have learned from class so far. For example, she did a very good job on the character's movement. Everything was very smooth and detailed. From Casey's website, I also got to see her story board for this film which is very interesting and gave me more insight of how the film was made.
