Does it sound odd if i say that this could have been made as a live action movie? Some bits of it look really great and i'm sure there is some reason for it being animated. But it seems like a hell of a lot of extra work to come up with a film that would look fairly similar with actors in it. I'm not hating on this film (as i do think bits look wicked), and it is great to see more different styles and genre of animation on the big screen, just a bit confused... What do you think Elliot?
It's a valid comment and I understand exactly where you're coming from.
I've not actually seen the film so I can't comment on the value of it using animation as a medium.
However - I personally don't care how a film is made as long as it's meaningful and expressive in some way.
I also spent a little time with Tatia, the director of the film and she seemed to have honest and truthful intentions, which is a really good start when embarking on any film production.
My name is Elliot Cowan.
I used to draw in Australia, then I went to draw in London. Now I draw in New York City.
I'm the creator and director of The Stressful Adventures of Boxhead and Roundhead, an animated series that's played at film festivals world wide.
I do a bunch of other things that you can find at www.elliotelliotelliot.com

Good point. I look forward to seeing it, do you know if it has a UK release?
No mate - but check the website, it'll possibly be there somewhere.
