“After we drew the objects and environments and painted them in photoshop, we modeled them in 3D to give a fake feeling of 3D. At the same time, by flipping the environment we wanted to bring the feeling of pop-up books which would help the film to feel like a theatrical story.
“Music was extremely important for us and we intended to create both the sound and the visuals together to form a complete piece. We also did a lot of exploration for our sound effects as well as dialogue to help put emphasis on the importance of sound in the film.”

“The story is character-focused and driven – by reducing cuts between cameras and using flipping animation techniques for the environments, we wanted to increase the storytelling mood and popup book style to engage the audience.
