The film takes place in a textured and painted abstract world, which sets up the scene of our girl and her journey. As the audience are introduced to her, animated typography echoes the words of the poet, as we begin to tell her story.

Brushes of black ink begin to build houses, schools and classrooms. The structures and foundations are built, but the buildings are empty. Our heroine, the girl, is alone but silhouetted. In these scenes, the animation brings to life some of the circumstances, barriers, that our girl has to contend with. Her belly grows with an unborn foetus, she is wrapped by a bridal gown, trapped and ignored by the community, until we see her climb stairs of progression, and encouraged to run. As the colours and textures begin to turn golden, our heroine runs, leading a charge, before lifting those around her.

The basis of the animation is traditional 2D animation with pen and ink, and traditional rotoscope techniques. However, with a limited time frame, we combined this with frame by frame photoshop animation, with rotoscoped references. Other elements were also built in 3D (Maya and Max) and then rotoscoped with custom inks and brushes. A library of hand-painted wet and dry textures, colours and brush strokes were built up to create style frames created by Mustashrik. These textures and layers were built in 3D space to give our scenes perspective and depth. Characters were also coloured using background textures, to keep all line work abstract and elegant. To give our film the final look, we used pre-filmed ink in water to create subtle ink explosions. Along with this, composited particles and light grain and colour grading was done in the final week scene by scene.
