In this story of kindness, friendship, and the fear of being left behind, a friendship takes flight as a mouse that wants to fly and an injured bird cross paths.
Final film from the School of Visual arts. I directed, background painted, animated, and did about half of the cleanup/coloring myself! The rest was handled by my awesome team in the credits. Thank you to Colin Andrew Grant for the fantastic score, and thanks to SVA for the two grants that helped me produce this film!
And thank you all so much for watching. This was a huge labor of love for me, and I’m so glad I finally get to share it!

– can I repost this?
– NO. Unless you're doing some sort of analysis (reaction video, discussion video,) just posting a small clip, or we otherwise came to an agreement, I do not give permission for Wings to be reposted anywhere. the only "official" places Wings is posted are YouTube, Vimeo, and my personal facebook page.

the mouse is Nutmeg and the bird is Bluebell, and they're both girls 😀
– what program did you use?
– TVPaint!
– how long did this take?
– about a year! It was my senior thesis film at SVA
– how did a string end up wrapped around the bird's wing?
– i dunno, it happens sometimes with fishing line
That they stayed friends…that does it for me.
This is what existence is!, the same is manifesting in various creatures and when you find that one, the pain of others will not look different than our own. Beautifully presented in this animation!!
This animation reminds of old disney movies. Nostalgia…

I don't know rat can be also cute
It's so sweet and I like it! It brought happy tears in my eyes at the end 😄 It surely touches everyone's heart because it talks about how it feels like when dreams are achieved and the feelings are on point. And the humanity of the gratitude the bird shows is the highlight of all. No words are needed to show happiness like this.. 😊
