Directing Change

Feeling the Melody

Tags: Monthly Prompt
Film Description:

When I saw the "Find your Anchor" monthly prompt, I thought about how much I enjoyed listening to music when I felt down. I thought of the song "Sunday Best" by Surfaces and drew how I felt when listening to that song. I ended up with a sunny background with music notes around my character. In the drawing I am wearing a purple cropped shirt, baggy black pants, a jean jacket, and an off-white pair of shoes. I also have on a pair of red-black spotted earbuds to make it clear that I am listening to music. I chose for my character to be jumping downwards as listening to music is a rush of happiness that is pleasant to me.
