Counting 4 Wheels
Stop-motion animated short created for Sesame Street, Season 48
“Danielle Ash was a pleasure to work with. She is a super talented animator and artist. Her number film, "Counting 4 Wheels," that we commissioned from her for a Season 48 episode of SESAME STREET had a very unique and playful look and feel that our little viewers (and their parents) really loved! We definitely hope to work with her again in the coming season!”
Kim Wright
Film Producer, SESAME STREET

"Pickles for Nickels" is an 8 minute stop-motion short film made of recycled cardboard. It was my CalArts MFA thesis film made during my studies with Stephen Chiodo in the Experimental Animation program. In this little story of love and destruction, monkeys steal pickles and shops change overnight in the city's rapidly changing neighborhoods. Based on ramblings and stories told by my father and uncles about old New York. The breakdown of animating this fragile material reflects the deterioration on the block with the last pickle shop. Winner of the Stellar Animation Award at the 2010 Black Maria Film Festival.
Dedicated to Billy Fucci, the voice of Mr. Pickle
