Lila and Thomas the Train

It's the Lila Monie

You never know when an idea is going to present itself, and this one, was during an early morning... Yes, in the bathroom. It is what it is. The thought of it though came from Olivia screaming at the top of her lungs the day before at Katz' Deli. We're at the table and she's screaming, "go go Thomas, go!"

So I'm playing some game on my iPad, and I keep hearing her scream that in my head over and over again. Then I said, "what if she's saying this because she misses Thomas for some reason?" I then envisioned every cliche movie where the couple finally rejoin together at the end of the movie. Except this one was with a kid and a train that didn't exist.

So I called Cynthia and gave her the idea and told her to just get a couple of scenes of Olivia on her Thomas car and some sad shots. She sent them over, and I put this together. Funny thing is that when I showed it to Anna for the first time, she cried because Olivia was sad. Oh well, another item to add to the list at the psychiatrist's!

The second video was the release party, that we actually did throw to unvieil the movie to Olivia. She had no idea what was going on, but I think, did get a kick out of it.
