notes Created before I knew anything about filmmaking. This was conceived of, baked and shot in about 6 hours to learn and test the features of a Sony TRV-30.

All animation was done in camera, including single frame overlapping (for example, the actual bear cookie was the same size as the tree, so I shot them seperately with the luminosity effect to have them interact).

At the end of the day I had much of what you see here (without editing). Two months later, as an editing exercise, I did some digital crumbs removal, colour effected it, and the music and inter-titles were added. The inter-titles were inspired by Nanuk Of The North.

I've since learned that violence isn't my style, but I suppose I had to get it out of my system.

This film is not suitable for children.
