“——’It is hard to tell a really gripping tale of how I wrested a wild-oat seed from its husk, and then another, and then another, and then another, and then another, and then I scratched my gnat bites, and Ool said something funny, and we went to the creek and got a drink and watched newts for a while, and then I found another patch of oats.... No, it does not compare, it cannot compete with how I thrust my spear deep into the titanic hairy flank white Oob, impaled on one huge sweeping tusk, writhed screaming, and blood spouted everywhere in crimson torrents, and Boob was crushed to jelly when the mammoth fell on him as I shot my unerring arrow straight through eye to brain.”
As I read these words, vivid and interesting images flashed through my mind. The author's descriptions were incredibly lively, and in that moment,I thought to myself: why not create an animation based on this?
This is my first attempt at creating an animation, from storyboarding to frame-by-frame drawing and finally editing video sound effects (though perhaps not as successful in this part?). Through self-learning during the production process, I acquired many new skills, which I believe has given me the motivation to produce more works.
