An endearing story about the hopes and dreams of youth and how conviction and perseverance can capture even the most unlikely of hearts.
The foundation of the film was done in stop-motion and captured over four shoot days with the talented folks at Animation People in Prague, Czech Republic. All the sets and props were designed and meticulously handmade in the first five weeks of the schedule ahead of the shoot. A full CG previz was done and served as the guide for the stop motion animators and DP. The editorial schedule was two weeks. The arms, legs, and facial expressions were modeled, animated, lit and rendered in CG. A little bit of color correction and final compositing rounded out the final four weeks of the original twelve week schedule.
