Project Responsibilities
Computer Animation, Motion Graphics, and Visual Effects
The book depicts a diverse cast of characters through an evolution from creation to thought. Starting in the Darwinian sense, the hand-drawn creatures float underwater and emerge to play on land and float in air. Moving faster and faster, they break the time/space continuum and are released from the boxes into the platitudes of space. Here a new form of enlightenment is found as Volla's creatures discover that they are growing into themselves both physically and mentally. They are now aware of the adage "Cogito ergo sum" (I think therefore I am)", but what will they do with that?
