| Discussion with the audience led by Chain NYC Film Festival director Kirk Gostkowski |
The Chain NYC Film Festival screenings were successful! On Wednesday, September 14th there was a discussion after the screening with festival director Kirk Gostkowski.
One of the questions he asked was which came first: the concept, or the idea to make stop motion animation. The answer is that the concept came first, when I heard about the advancing technology of prosthetic limbs and wondered what would happen if that technology was exploited for profit and marketed as a luxury to the general public. This seemed like a wonderful starting point for a comedic social commentary.
The idea to make the short using claymation came later, and I liked it because it would add a handmade and organic element, which contrasts with the theme of increasing reliance on technology and machinery.
Thanks to Chain NYC Film Festival for a great festival experience!
