A little background information...
Way back in film school, I commuted 2 hours a day on the train from my small town home to downtown Vancouver. During that time I cured my travel boredom by drawing and making up stories of the people and situations on the daily train ride. Fast forward to today, where I co-own an animation studio called Jesters Animation where we strive to produce our own original hand drawn stories.
How was the film made?
We animated the film using TVPaint, a program we love to work with.
