Production notes
About 15 animation students worked for 18 months to produce "Las Piñatas."
The original music was scored by a BYU music major and performed by an orchestra made up of his classmates. The ill-fated cowboy piñata is voiced by another BYU student.
Russell Lloyd estimates that he spent about 200 hours on the short just for Pancho the piñata's facial expressions. "It took me about a month to write the program to rig his hair," he said.
