The movie took about 9 months of production.

Before I began working on the film I tried to get rid of weaker ideas by re-drawing the storyboard over and over. These are some frames from the final, 12th version of the storyboard.

Then, I created a 3D animatic of the entire movie.

And here, some final frames from the shots presented above.

Some shots required more work and needed another approach. For the mirror scene I had to draw two separate passes of animation.

• 
• 

The run scene was made by projecting an animated run cycle to a grid which was rotated 90 degrees to the camera and moving paralelly to it.
