  This is a short film about a little girl who realizes that she is unlike her family who each has their own individual element of colour. She is upset by this but when she spots a colourful cloud she thinks she might be able to get her own colour. After several attempts the girl reaches the cloud by being lifted by magical stalks. She explores and plays in the cloud and absorbs the colour from it. She is too busy having fun and only realizes after she is called down for bed that she now has her own distinguishing colour which makes her unique.
  The film uses hand drawn animation, coloured in Animo with painted elements. The backgrounds were painted in a mixture of ink and watercolour and the various elements were composited together in Adobe After Effects.
