Sweet Commentary, Dude!

On Wednesday I visited West Lafayette, Indiana to reunite with production artist Eli Glasch, voice actor Shauvon McGill and composer Rick DeSutter to record commentary for the upcoming Duck ♥ Teslacoil DVD release. Since it’s such a short film, it helps to pack the DVD with as many special features as possible. So during this session we recorded several commentary tracks: One was just me, discussing how I conceptualized and developed the story. Second was myself and Eli Glasch, discussing the visual style development and animation process. Third was the whole crew, filling in the remaining gaps and talking about the music, voice acting and long-distance collaboration.

The other highlight of the recording session was the custom-made snacks. Alysha and I took some time the night before to bake and decorate some very special Duck ♥ Teslacoil-themed cookies, which tasted as good as they looked! The idea to make cookies that looked like Duck and Monster was mine, but Alysha was the one who figured out how to pull it off. Take that, Martha Stewart!
