UPDATE 12 - THE STUDIO
October 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
Normally, when creating a stop-motion animated film, the studio used is a good-sized warehouse with several different scenes set up. Even on low-budget animated films, usually you have a basement or empty room to film in. Well, living in Brooklyn,... (Read More)
UPDATE 11 - THE BIKE
October 19th - via: kickstarter.com
Hello again. The stationary bike plays a crucial role (spoiler!) in the film. Other than the Old Man, it is probably the most complex build in the whole film. The biggest trick of all was, it needed to be functional while still being made out of... (Read More)

UPDATE 09 - COLOR
October 9th - via: kickstarter.com
Hi there. Continuing the ideas of symbolism in film (much like that last update on stairs), today I would like to talk about color. From looking at the stills, one might say there is a lack of color. But there was a very deliberate thought process in... (Read More)
UPDATE 08 - Stairs
October 6th - via: kickstarter.com
Hello again. The campaign is still going strong. We are just shy of $1300, which I find quite amazing. Still very humbled by they outpouring of interest. On to the stairs. Stairs have a rich history in film so when writing the script I deliberately... (Read More)
UPDATE 07 - Walls
October 3rd - via: kickstarter.com
Hello again. Today, let’s talk about walls. The majority of the film takes place indoors, so I needed walls. The original plan was just to go with standard cardboard, but I wasn’t satisfied in terms of production design or durability. So, back to... (Read More)
UPDATE 06 - INSPIRATION
September 30th - via: kickstarter.com
Hi there. Stop-motion has always been my favorite style of animation. I’m drawn it because of it’s tactile qualities. It is a tangible art form, one that embraces imperfection rather than shunning it. It is fragile and personal. I’ve been... (Read More)
