Bed & Breakfast by Sarah Vowell

This is an animation that I did for my “Found Sound” Animation III project. We had to find a sound file/interview with a musician, artist, or writer, and do an animation around it. I’m a huge fan of the writer, Sarah Vowell, so I did an animation for an audio file I found of her reading one of her stories.

This animation was hand-drawn with marker on a drugstore memo pad. This is one of the final animations that I did in school using actual paper to draw the frames. I sort of cringe now when I see how bad the animation is in this piece, and how far I’ve come since I started using Flash. I post it here in case there are other Sarah fans out there who may find this amusing.

Apologies to Ms. Vowell for using the audio file with absolutely zero permission.
