After a couple of painstaking (but enjoyable) months of miniature building, it was time to finally start filming them. If there ever was a video that demonstrates our incredible professionalism, then surely this is the one.

Robert Rodgriuez said that in many cases a limited budget and equipment make for a better film. It forces you to be more creative. You guys are knocking it out of the park.

You guys give yourselves so much crap but youre true geniuses! Pushing through roadblocks and problems with true imagination and skill. Your work is astounding and better than most big budget movies. Most people want the public to only see the successes and triumphs. You guys are real! Passionate and show how hard someone needs to work to get magic to spark.

Yes there is always at least a little bit of post, but in Slice of Life we were doing 10-15 passes for each shot, and here often just one or two. So it was MUCH MORE in camera which was really cool!
