    Hey, thanks for that! I know what you mean about time. I'm doing my first stop motion video with live actors (it's so tuff moving around people vs. puppets) and it's gonna be down to the wire. I should be done in another week or so and will send it to ya to see what you think. Keep up the great work guys!

    Thanks Jesse! BTW, I still want to make an Aesop short if ever comes the chance, I hear that you got funding for yours that's rad! Let's talk soon.
  • Jesse Ewles plus 2 years ago
    Hey Sean,
    That's wicked! We're approaching Aesop as a long-term project now, so various filmmakers in our community will add to the collection as time goes by. We're going to be building a blog to illustrate the preproduction work on pending clips; I'll keep you posted as things develop. :)

    The colors are phenomenal, and I love the intense kinetic energy throughout. I feel like there is so much to see in each frame, it is hard to comprehend the entirety of details presented here (in a good way). This is a brilliant work of art.
