"Let me tell you a story..."

A six year old girl goes on a rescue mission for her favorite doll during the middle of a power-out, but believes that she is being stalked by a spider-monster from her bedtime story.

This is the basic setup for my student film. I'm Kari Gallagher, an undergraduate Animation student at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, and I'm about to go into my thesis year. I'm going to be using this blog to document the progress of the film along the way, mostly to let people I know know what I'm up to, and to remind them that I'm not dead. This blog also serves the function of having a motivation to keep working on my project, because I will feel like a jerk if I won't update.

So whether you're family reading this, or my thesis advisor, my friends, my classmates, my teachers, or just someone who stumbled here on happenstance, I hope you get to like what you see here.
