Abby's Flying Fairy School - Laura Skowronski Nattam animation reel 2009

"Abby's Flying Fairy School" (© Sesame Workshop) - Laura Skowronski Nattam, SpeakeasyFX character animation reel for December 2009.

On November 10, 2009, Sesame Street celebrated its 40 years on television with a new and exciting season premiere. "Abby's Flying Fairy School" is an eight-minute cgi animated segment (nine minutes, counting the intro song and 'Spot' film) which airs during the Sesame Street hour on PBS. For more information, please visit the official site: http://www.sesamestreet.org/onair/theshow/abby

This includes a portion of my work that has been aired in November-December 2009.
I'm very proud of being a part of Sesame Street's 40th anniversary celebration and the animation we did at SpeakeasyFX!!! These characters were designed to be muppet-like; therefore, their rigs purposely had very limited facial control. However, they were given the ability to walk and to fly, which added to their versatility in performance.

Episodes which have already aired include the following:
"Niblet's Wand"
"The Fairy Godmother Test" (aka "Cinderella Challenge")
"The Pinocchio Process"
"Sugar Plum Fairy Dancing Shoes"
"Genie in a Bottle"
"Say Gezundenschniffle"


Thanks for watching!!!

Wonderful Reel, Laura.  Congratulations

Haha. Gonnigan does tend to have an Eeyore thing going on pretty often. On the other hand, notice in the show that he's also usually the guy that comes up with twinkle-think ideas to solve the fairies' problems!
