This production diary documents the creative process for an animation project about a father-daughter relationship on a floating island. It includes concept art exploring different story ideas, storyboards, sketches of characters and landscapes, and test renders of the animation. An early idea involved the father teaching the daughter to control the gravity on the island, but was deemed too ambitious and the narrative was changed for the final production.

12. PREVIOUS STORY EXPLANATION
My previous animation idea was similar to my final production,
however the narrative has changed. In my previous idea, I was
thinking about showing a father and daughter relationship. This base
idea branched into many different directions; one of which, was
rejected for being overly ambitious. This idea included the father
teaching the daughter how to control the gravity on the floating
island.
