JUST A GIRL

SHORT ANIMATION  |  Produced: 2009  |  Animation: Hand sketches, Flash & After Effects  |  Duration: 2:30mins

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.
