In this video clip I explain our basic development process, and present an early trailer to the movie.

The two years I spent as the creative director of "Khan Kluay" was a real joy. A small crew of us working together, writing, designing, and researching. The team spent a lot of time "outside" the studio, researching how wild and domesticated elephants live, working with "Mahuts", and animal experts. We also worked closely with historical experts, and even members of the royal family to make sure that we got everything just right.

Note: The trailer at the end of this presentation is "unfinished". My co-director, Aaron Sorensen, and I were only able to make a "first pass" on the animation, texture and lighting... as the studio felt it was "good enough". All the sound on the trailer was re-dubbed after Aaron and I left the project. The studio used this presentation successfully to raise additional funds for the feature.
