Production notes
A stereoscopic short inspired by the song "Moonman Newfie," composed and sung by New Brunswick-born music legend Stompin' Tom Connors.
"Moon Man" is the National Film Board of Canada's second animation film using the revolutionary IMAX SANDDE (Stereoscopic Animation Drawing Device) digital system developed by Roman Kroitor. This technology enables animators to draw and animate 3D images in space with a moving wand for projection onto an Imax screen. Two SANDDE workstations were donated to the NFB by the Imax Corporation for animation experimentation.
Ideally, the film should be viewed in stereoscopic theatres with special glasses, but the NFB has produced a regular version in 35mm and video formats.
