But considering that the visuals of this phantasmagoria jointly styled with Adam Stockhausen are a breakthrough in the art form, it’s no wonder the virtuosity behind them involved the study of a master.
Harrod’s more direct influences came from stop-motio...

Hello, all!
I am currently developing a short animated musical film with a lot of Cow-reography, tentatively titled "Barn Dance".
If the story stands (and dances!) on its own, maybe even makes some headway in festivals, I am hoping to milk that for all it is worth--to get permission to use a specific piece of music.

The allegory quickly blossoms into...
