short point 08

Directed & Animated by

Jamie McCarter

I kept everything simple with this piece, and just focused on the animation. Most of the textures were drawn by myself and my friend, Alison Wolanski, using pastels. The only two textures not drawn exclusively with pastels were the nose of the snowmom, and the road. For the snowmom's nose I just smacked a carrot down onto the scanner and... done. For the road Alison and I drew with yellow and orange pastels on black construction paper and used the fibrous texture of the paper to give a sense of pavement. I also blended in a photo of twigs for the edge of the road.
