It was pretty much an open brief (the best kind), to refresh what had been previously done. I explored stop motion and hand drawn on paper techniques. This development work informed the visual language of the final output. Eventually the final animation was done using hand drawn animation software TV Paint. Patrick Hatchette's beautiful score really lifted the final piece, so I was responding to this too timing wise. It was great to have that score mid way through the project and not added on at the end.
