Production notes

This film was made as part of the second edition of the NFB's Hothouse apprenticeship.

Take six promising animation filmmakers from across Canada, plant them in the NFB's English Animation Studio, give them 12 weeks to create extremely short animation from concept to release with the full support and assistance of NFB creative experts and, voilà, the NFB Animation Hothouse! This is the second session of the Animation Hothouse.

Drawn with watercolor pencil crayons on frosted acetate, the animation was done under a digital camera and made to move in After Effects. The drawings were layered, with a sheet of clear acetate on top upon which was poured the "honey bubble love."
