I made a short video on YouTube based on my illustrations :)

Enni Heikura

@MerryMary thank you for having time to watch it!

Sara Therese Art

@Enni-Heikura Wow! This was absolutely beautiful and poignant! I can only imagine how long it took to put together. I grew up studying ballet and especially appreciated the dream to dance aspect.

Enni Heikura

@Sara-Therese-Art Thank you so much! I don't have any special animation or video programs so I did this with Power Point and it took two weeks.

I was doing figure skating for thirteen years when I was younger, and dancing was also part of the training. I absolutely love to draw pictures related to dance .

Kevin Longueil

@Enni-Heikura Wow…beautiful.

Robyn Hepburn

Aw, that made me smile! It's incredibly effective and sweet.
I couldn't quite figure out where he got the ballet shoes from: under his own bed or someone else's?
I'm amazed that you got PowerPoint to do something so lovely.

Enni Heikura

@Enni-Heikura Thank you so much!

Enni Heikura

@Robyn-Hepburn Thank you so much for your comment and feedback! Yes, so the ballet shoes were in a light red box under his own bed. All the blue pictures are of his room. (At first he just checks through the crack in the door that no one is awake and then returns to his own room)

Robyn Hepburn

@Enni-Heikura Oh I see! Ok, great, that makes sense now.

Jeremy Ross

Beautifully done @Enni-Heikura! The music is perfectly synchronized. When do you start working on this book?

Enni Heikura

@Jeremy-Ross Thank you so much! Yes, synchronizing music and transitions with Power Point was its own challenge but a fun one

Dima Eichhorn

Beautiful illustrations and video!

Enni Heikura

@Dima-Eichhorn Thank you so much!

Kristen Lango

@Enni-Heikura wow really beautiful work! I hope that you're able to show it to an art director, maybe even someone at an animation studio could be interested. You've clearly got talent with sequential storytelling illustration. Bravo!

Enni Heikura

@Kristen-Lango Oh thank you so much for your kind words and comment! I haven't shown this video to anyone (yet), but it would be really great if some art director or agency would be interested in it or my work through it!
