This title aptly serves as both our film’s tag line and encapsulates our journey in the making of our stop motion animated short called Zero.

After two years of production, we recently held a private screening so our crew, family and friends could watch the finished film. It was a fitting way to mark the end of a long and gruelling production.

The private screening was held at the AFTRS on Thursday 23rd April 2009 and by all accounts was a huge success. The audience comprised of the crew, family and friends who seemed to have only positive things to report. I would normally chalk this up to politeness, however our most honest and harshest critics gave it a green light.

Now that the film is complete, we’re embarking on the film festival gauntlet which will be a two year campaign. This blog will keep you posted of any successes we may encounter and serve as an excellent opportunity to take a retrospective look at the making of Zero.

From concept through to design, the shoot and post production… I hope to share tips, tricks and tutorials for those interested in starting their own stop motion, or just keen to take a sneak peek behind the scenes.
