Mysty Forest Becomes an Animation Studio

Travis Blaise, a former Disney Animator offered a class at Misty Forest (N Hyer Ave, Orlando, FL) which had the students working towards completing an animated short. The story was called “Rosalie and the Bottle Tree“. A bottle tree is simply empty bottles put on the end of tree limbs and a bottle tree can bring good fortune. The narration was complete and the children’s drawings were used as the story boards.

What Misty Forest lacked in terms of cameras and light tables, it made up in the children’s enthusiasm. I don’t believe the film was ever completed, but the kids had a great time getting to collaborate on  what might one day become an inspired little film. All it takes is on determined soul to reignite the spark and take on the Herculean task of finishing the animation.
