Natsuki Kato was in my class this semester and her work is incredible. This is Thumbelina, her final project. She went far beyond what I expected for the project. She literally had about a thousand layers. She made the children's clothes herself and shot the green screen herself (first time). She uses some really interesting techniques here that she developed herself. The voice over and music work really well with the imagery. She did a great job of setting the mood, which I think is one of the toughest parts of making a video.

No, the video is not perfect, but man, this girl is very talented and she is going to make it big some day. She plans to revise it and make it exactly as she wants it in the future, so I may possibly have a revised version posted to Inspirations.
