    • Trivia
      The film is a "flipbook animation", pencil drawn by hand on yellow Post-It notes. Shot in one take as the animation artist and story writer (13 year old Aidan OlHara) hand holds and flips the pages as he and his father Michael O'Hara supplied ninja fight grunting voiceovers and daughter / sister Madeline O'Hara played piano accompaniment. It was and all shot in a single take with one simple digi video camera, one domestic house lamp, and a real dog barking on cue. First entered into a ZeDTV CBC web competition and ended up winning and being aired on Canadian National TV in January 2003. Since then it has been invited to numerous world wide animation and children's festivals and has been nominated at 2003 Sprockets -Toronto International Children's film festival and was nominated and won an Honourable Mention at SAFO 2003 - Otttawa International Student Animation Festival 2003.

    Cute short film
    After reading about this, I did a Google search and found this short. It is definitely a cute and entertaining short. Impressive for being done by a kid for sure.

    I would recommend all go and at least check this out. At the very least one can appreciate that this flip book animation was all done in one take with all audio being done on the spot. Great piano accompaniment for this too!

    And hey, for a one minute short this has a great concept for the story. Just remember to be nice to snowmen!

    Apparently, this has won a number of film festivals for kids, and I can see why. Bravo to this kid. This would make for a great cell phone video. Would be a great, funny video to whip out and show your friends. Who wouldn't like this? That is the question.
