I have done some films and short stories which you can see or learn more about on my website

Looked at Four Sides of the Cross (beautiful title.) Also liked the two videos displayed on your author page. Please talk a bit about what goes into such animation.

Thank you. I love animation. Mostly because I can create a whole world to look exactly like I see it in my mind. In film, you are limited by budget and sometimes you just have to work around things because of it. In writing a novel you are completely free to create a world with your words. In animation, however, you can see the world that you have in your head. Awesome. I use a program called iClone, which is a fairly cheap program and easy to use. By itself you have some limitations but when you combine it with other editing programs it is pretty niffty. Though it is awesome to be able to create, visually, what it is in your head you have to have a lot of patients. Creating the sets can take weeks - and sometimes more depending on how detail the sets is. Also, animating is very time consuming and can be very frustrating. One little mistake can destroys hours worth of work. I don't remember how long it took to make the first book preview - - but the second one - - took me about 2 full days to complete. It was actually my wife's idea to have all those people running behind them at the end. So, to answer your question, animation takes a lot of prep work and a lot of time to complete.
