I said the bison was coming again. Type in Bates Bison Animation House and you can find that bison running on Youtube.

@BBAHinc Your bison is super sweet! Good Job and keep up the good work!

this is really awesome! i love the music -- each song choice really worked with the section it was associated with. mind sharing the song artists and names? be well.

[SHYSB]

Thanks for the comment,

The music from the core part of the film was mixed by James Morgan on "garageband" (I believe that is what it is called). The last song, that rolls with the credits is Damien Jurado, "What were the chances."

Have a good one

whoa. shy, this is amazing. you should enter it in more festivals and competitions across the country for sure. i also really love the music choices you all made. and including the invasion and occupation of iraq in with the other end pieces. the animation was so smooth too. how did you folks make this?

[SHYSB]

Thanks a bunch, we would sure love to put it into more festivals, keeping our eyes peeled for some good ones.

How we made it...hm... with a number of sleepless nights and hand cramps. LawL Old school hand drawn animations, every slide, save for the end pieces. Took three months in total from learning animation, concept and execution of the project. Was mighty mighty fun.

If ya got anymore questions hit me up

The majority of the animation is mine, considering I was the only one in the group who could animate. Remember that bison/buffalo running in the scene. You'll see that again from me
