"Visually stunning..."
-Myself
The story makes less than or equal to no sense.

Notice in one of the opening shots, as the camera pans around the lead's head, the people behind his head disappear. Lighting and colors proved to be too difficult to clearly draw the audiences attention to the background of the scene where the action was happening.

The long shot proved to be an interesting experience. While is is astonishingly boring onscreen, during filming it was a logistical nightmare to actually capture.

It was a beast to edit (making people disappear is hard), and I spent an epic amount of time drawing over individual frames to mangle the footage. Barryte did too (thanks buddy). It got me proficient in Shake and Motion, a learning experience to say the least.

Surprisingly, one scene that got a particular amount of awe was the brief animation sequence on the blackboard near the end. While it was time intensive, it didn't require an actual logic based thought process to figure out how to do. But hey, I'll take it.

Thanks to Sully for all he did for me on this endeavor, we will always make great films together.

And thanks to everyone who made this experiment possible, I think we all learned more about ourselves and our capabilities within film.

Cheers!
