I Finished a New Animation

This is Joy of Spring, a 2 min 47 sec piece I made for an assignment on the theme of “festivals.”
Based on KUKERI, a Bulgarian festival, it depicts the joy and excitement of spring. It even includes a live (?) clarinet performance by me, so please take a look.

After the critique today, I had tea with my mom at the fashion building where I used to work part-time. Looking out at the night view, I thought, “I’m so glad I’m a customer again.”

●What is KUKERI?

A traditional Bulgarian festival held from New Year’s to around March.
Large groups parade through the streets ringing bells to drive away evil spirits, praying for good health for the year and preparing to welcome spring. Apparently everyone except the group leader has to be an unmarried man.

●Storyboard

I recently noticed that the frames I draw without thinking aren’t 16:9 at all, so I want to be careful about that.
