My first nightmare.

I was sent on this project to supervise the animation very fast,in fact I was so excited to work on my first feature film that I never had time to look at the storyboard;I did only study the storyboard once on the plane going to 'Seoul' Korea.

When I realized how big the amount of flying ponies and running ponies on the screen,I looked at my ex-wife and said to her 'This is suicide......Why did I accept this crazy job?'.............

Well I did go to face my first feature film challenge and it was fun and hard,,,,I trained many people into animation just doing my best as always,and Michael Fallows joined the ranks to help supervise animation because the producers and directors might have had one year or mo0re to prepare their project,,,,but we had only 3 months to do all the production.

And I must give credit to 'Nelson Shin' who forced the producers to give us our credits for supervising the animation,,,they ignored us totally.Thanks 'Nelson'.

So making films is not an easy task,it takes passion or otherwise one cannot survive the experience.

Thank you. Pierre De Celles
