Hi guys, Val here, figured our blog was pretty barren, so I'll fill you in on what I am working on this summer -- and hopefully I'll have some WIP to post here as I go!

For almost a year now I've been planning a short film (5-15 min) based on an instrumental album by one of my favorite musicians. I know how corny that sounds, but the story just came to me perfectly while listening to it. When inspiration strikes, you tend to pay attention.

Anyway, the film (and the album) is called "STILL." I've been working on a script -- yep, script, not storyboard! -- for several months, because originally the film was going to be live-action. I very recently decided that animation will give me the control that I need. There is absolutely no dialogue; the music and the visuals alone tell a compelling and emotional story.

I can't wait to share more with you...
