Description Notes

When it came time to determine what the characters would look like onscreen - the writers purposely did not focus their efforts on the exact look and feel of the characters.   They both felt that if the story was strong and the characters were properly developed that exactly what they looked like – though important when dealing with an animated feature, was not going to be the final denominator for the success of the feature.

”Even though both Ilana and myself have art backgrounds ,  we certainly knew we weren't Pixar, Sony, Fox or any other large production company. So we knew we were never going to be able to match anything from those large producers ... yet that was the exact vision Ilana and I had from the start,” explains Vinny.  “I have been working with 3D for years and was pretty much up to speed on the kind of computing power and resources you needed to actually pull off the kind of film we were hoping to see our story become.”

“I would often joke with Ilana that even if I could set up the kind of ultra high polygon models and lighting used in such films as The Incredibles, that it would take my computers days just to render an eyeball.”

“In the end we decided to leave the final word on the visuals up to the professionals … if we’re ever blessed with that kind of opportunity,” adds Ilana. “Sure we have ideas, some of which we explored as part of the animatic – but we never wanted to limit ourselves to what we were capable of producing on our own.”
