It all started when my friends band, Pocket Satellite, began writing songs for their new EP "Toy Train". Maya, Tom and Carl spoke to me about how they wanted to make a simple video for one of their songs. I liked the idea and fancied getting involved myself. As it turns out I just happen to have some spare time on my hands so I offered to help Maya with the video and thankfully she agreed.
As I listened to the song over and over I began to get a few ideas for the video. Maya had drawn a character she wanted to use as the art work for the EP and we thought it would be a nice tie in if we could base the film on that character. So for the next month or so I started sketching and playing around with some ideas that became more and more extravagant. The band have been really enthusiastic about all my ideas and have let me take control of the film, whether this is a good idea or not we shall see.

So this is the continuing blog of how, with the help of a few friends and family, I am turning the little love story I have written into a short animated film.
