A nurturing farmer in is danger of losing his crop of windmills when he struggles against the cyclical forces of nature.

Created at the UCLA Animation Workshop, with music by Nick Fevola.

This film was inspired while driving back from a trip to Palm Springs, when a friend said that it must take them forever to plant and grow so many windmills. I wrote down the title The Windmill Farmer for an idea to explore later, and about a year later I started developing it into a character and story.
This film took 4 months to complete from the first boards until the final mix.

    lol zell, GO look at the 2000 pages in a wind draft report online to read,. what do you think those boxes near the turbines called wind generators are for? go look in mostly any turbine pic its that box on the ground, you seemed to have missed those in your cartoon. hmmm they just must be full of wind, much like yourself. get a clue urbanite! even a wind rep will tell you that.

    im not going to waste my time on pure stupidity on this topic, go back to Disney your better suited for la la land.

    The boxes by the windmills are transformers to connect to the grid. The generator and gearbox are by the blades, and they PROVIDE energy (or rather, convert it from the movement of the blades). Why don't you show me a link to your incredible source of lunacy? I'd love to see it, but there seems to be no way to find your conspiracy site :)

    I enjoyed that video, are you intending on doing similar ones for other renewable sources such as hydro, solar, tidal, wave etc?

    Nah, I did it just because of the images and story I found for this one. I'd only work on a film if I find the right story for it.

    Thanks! I am currently working at Disney, so I don't have any new shorts of my own, but I have some ideas that I'll definitely work on in the future :)

    For the real deal--a low flight over hundreds of real, working windmills--go to my channel and click on "Breaking Wind at the Rio Vista, California Wind Farm."
