production notes

the three of us was an experimental collaboration I made with Benjamin Goldman starting in 1999, a few weeks after meeting at CalArts. Ben and I were both new students in the experimental animation program. Students were being offered 1 week of stop-motion studio time, so Ben and I decided to sign up together and combine our time to improvise a 2 week piece. Little did we know we would be working on the piece for the next 3 years. read more...
