Welcome back to Draw to Motion — my series where I break down the art, ideas, and animation techniques behind my short films. In this episode, we dive into the creation of my latest short, “Between a Rock and a Balloon Place.”

This 60-second animated film explores love, attachment, and the courage to let go through the unlikely friendship between a golem child and a balloon. In today’s breakdown, I cover:

• The motivation and emotional inspiration behind the story • How the short was made from concept to final edit
• A step-by-step look at the painterly background technique used in the film
• A full watch-through with commentary where I explain choices, symbolism, and animation workflow
