I don't love the Red Turtle, but I love moments in it. also animators always look at each others films and think about their own. the red turtle gave me faith to use tiny characters in landscape. it was a pleasure to see someone else do that so well. Jeremy Clappin has a feature in the works. also strange pieces that mix live action and animation like diary of a teenage girl. beware mister baker and montage of Heck..Tatsume. of older one Mindgame, waltze with Bashir

and yes, I did do scientific research, I was very interested in Mimus, but then realized it was the model for the death star. did not want that. one narrativ element is like the clams in the bottom of the volcanic ocean, My Buffalo breathe sulferdioxide, and uses the sulfer, and expelled the oxygen .

on the technical side, it is I think interesting that technology has leveled the playing field a bit, anyone can do digital ink and paint, at a reasonable pace, so the look of an indy short does not have to be greatly different than a feature

Jeremy Clapin, Sean Buckelew, Joseph Pierce, Suzie Templeton, Mikey Please, and a crazy motion comic-animation I love is Tatsume

To be honest the short answer is, because it felt right, the longer answer is that I always have several stories floating down this flooded river in my head, and I pick them up, and find relations, because they came into my head through some common thread. for instance my father died in 1969, as did Boris Karloff, and in some way a conflated their loss. this one is going slow, but not as slow, the Bison is just a crazy idea that flew into my head. something that is too large to share its love, like in mice and men.
