This is of my second animation project that had to be 30 seconds long and based off of a story I previously wrote for the project, which was called The Witches rememberance.

Link to this is just below.

The story was set for a fantasy feel, which helps myself with drawing as I do not do realism very well.

This animation also was an experiment of mine to prove to myself that it is possible for myself to animate without needing to have excessive action or violence involved, as well as to stick consistently to a storyboard that I previously wrote.

To follow this with drawing the main characters (the girl named Nieve and the cat which has yet to be named), have partially had their body structure off of dolls, storybook characters and other toys, as has been demonstrated in their anatomy.

The cat was designed from a depiction of a Dr Seuss character, hence the grin on his face that might eminate the Grinch a little, and is meant to be addressed as a somewhat smarmy but protective character. He is able to transform into human a form, but it has not been drawn up yet though, as it is not to be featured in what is the beginning of the series.

Also added is a little drawing of Nieve and the cat together to serve as their relationship reminder for further artwork on them, as of course the main familiar of a witch is her faithful cat, even if this one doesn't resemble the normal ones because of his maine coone breed.

The story begins with the main character (Nieve) in the beginning after the intro, and is mute except for the narrator which speaks for her, although she converses with characters in scenes (This was inspired from various children's cartoons, where the main character was also silent while the playful sounding narrator voice would talk about what he did and also communicated with him/her at several points.
The main reason I have included something that might be thought as immature is to lighten up the darkened environment surrounding Nieve and her others.) She stands in a witches' cloak with a hat on her head, and suggests power from her appearance, making it obvious that she is a being of great magic, but leaves the audience with questions asking how and why she is dressed as a witch.

The narrator then attempts to address some of these questions as Nieve opens a book to reveal the story behind it all, and thus the story of her awakening again begins.
