James thanks for all of that information from the animators. It's great to get an insight in their own words about the process of making the work. And nice to have some of our observations confirmed.

For all that the animators poured into their work, whatever their individual motivations, I think it became even "more" then their intentions. I think that is the nature of collaboration - the end results transcend the individual contributions and it becomes "more" then anyone thought it might be. It is nice to see the team behind The Team.

Wow, I go away for a few hours and I come back to a wealth of information! Amazing! Thank you so much, James and Candi, for contributing all of the information to this thread!

I find it interesting that the animators set out to 'make you feel as if you were there, in the middle of thea ction'. I definitely feel that way when watching the show, and I hadn't even thought about it in that way before.
