This new film has a lot of string in it (attached to kites), and I'm quickly realising that a string blowing in the wind is quite a lot of precise drawing for what, in the end, is a featureless squiggly line. A line is one step removed from nothing at all, it's about the least thing you can draw. And in film, a string is traditionally something you're meant to pretend you don't see, that a little cardboard spaceship is dangling from.
So it seems a little silly to say "hey check it out here are some strings I've been working on", but I HAVE been working on them and it IS what I've got to show you, so hey check it out here are some strings I've been working on!

A line may not have much meaning by itself, but as a string blowing on a kite, it has profound meaning, not just about the movement of the kite, but of the movement of the wind, the volume of air that is causing the kite movement. This is a deeply sophisticated thing to animate, and I suspect you are studying real kites in order to accurately animate their movements. I applaud you for paying attention to these kinds of details. It's what makes you a truly great animator.

It’s pretty cool, because for me at least it gives me a whole new perspective and appreciation of strings
