12 videos about Jewish wedding traditions: bimbam.com/judaism-101/jewish-weddings
When Miriam and Babak got married on top of a mountain at sunset, they re-examined all of the ancient Jewish wedding traditions and found personal twists to add. One was a water ceremony created to represent the shevah brachot, seven blessings traditionally chanted beneath the chuppah.

![Timing Your Animation
Once you’ve made a story reel and the props, it’s time to start everyone’s favorite part of animation – the math!
This step is crucial if you want your animation to actually take as long as the script needs. Which you do. Otherwise, you’ll finish animating and when you try to record audio, you’ll find out that you need to rush through your script in order to keep pace with the animation. Or worse - need to go back and reanimate parts.
