you probably haven't seen any of our pictures. had an animation in a traveling film festival that played in paris, toronto, and new york, plus it was also available on various websites at different times. that was pretty much its total distribution, so my guess is very very few have seen it...
that was only the first project, tho, actually a few years ago. right now i'm really excited about the new picture, far more ambitious than any we've attempted before, mainly due to my spending a year in a progressive arts school prior to making it and learning in leaps and bounds about my craft.
our last major shoot is scheduled for this saturday, weather permitting, with one or two pickup days following. when finished, it should be 25 minutes long or so. we will use this along with a script-in-progress to try to win over investors and a producer for a feature project. i'm gonna try to get the short into more festivals in the coming year, so maybe you will get to see this one!
as far as musical influences, the other guys are basically more pop than me, but IMO we overlap more than we diverge. i have turned them on to many things they likely wouldn't have checked out otherwise, with the reverse being also true. so hopefully all will remain well. still haven't tried that fight beer, lol!
