A little idea goes a long way, beginning with one brave step.

My animation process begins on paper. Before I open any software, I work through ideas with sketches and thumbnails. This helps me discover who a character is and how that character might move.
Don Stone is curious, whimsical, and sometimes too quick to act. His personality appears in his posture, expressions, and the choices he makes.
Through his story, I explore an idea that matters to me: life is a series of choices. A simple moment can lead to a consequence that changes everything.

A little idea goes a long way. For Bloggy, that journey begins outside a small A-frame cottage, where Mom and Dad watch their only child leave home.
Ahead is a narrow walkway leading into a world he has never known. He does not know what he will find, but he is ready to take his first step.
This blog will be a place to share his journey as it develops, from early sketches and story ideas to scenes and animation.
