An ill-prepared artist experiences many frustrations in producing work and when you add to the mix the ever "cooperative" computer, it is enough to make anyone plan properly.
In this high tech world of computer FX and animation, our intention was to make a little statement as mentioned above and stay "simple" with the technology. An emphasis was put on old-fashioned storyboard planning and telling the tale. We put the what-to-do before the how-to-do, and now three more shorts are in development as professional development projects. The use of more sophisticated technology will creep in no doubt, but only if it will enhance the telling of the story.
