One of my favourite places in the world is New York. When I was in high school, I was really into theatre and knew all the shows playing on Broadway. This may have been because I joined the theatre class from grades 10-11 or because I was fortunate enough to go to New York when I was 12. A moment I will never forget is when Glinda floated down in her bubble at the beginning of Wicked. Long story short, I love New York.

I decided to base this piece on the New York snowglobe one of my friends gave me. I decided to twist up the theme by adding a galactic snowglobe background but having the actual globe in the forest.

Here is the animation in motion!
