Sealy movie poster

Here's my little movie poster, based on the sketch I posted earlier. I drew the objects in pencil, vectorized and did basic coloring and gradient fills in illustrator, then composted in Photoshop.

The SEALY logo is the scanned design is from my mother's book cover, the entire poster design was also inspired by my mother's illustrations in her book. Thanks mom! =)

And just wait till you hear the Sealy theme song, my dad wrote it for me to complement the book in 1985. I wanted to be an animator since I was a kid, so we always talked about how cool it would be to animate Sealy. My dad would play the song all the time for me, that was my favorite thing. So this has been 25 years in the making... and a family project!

Since I have my Michy and Sealy characters pretty much figured out, I decided to concentrate on developing these characters from my script. They aren't set in stone yet I may need to revise them again.

Story idea for next semester

Sealy: A short film about a little girl named Michy who doesn't fit into the usual classroom mold, and finds her own way of learning through her "imaginary" friend Sealy.

I will be using the swim sequence I'm working on now in it, as well as attempting many other fun things like surfing... this is adapted from a children's book my mom wrote and illustrated me in 1985.
