The Producer (who is also playing the part of Sinbad in the film) has made it abundantly clear to me that he is really pushing the stop motion effects (Dynamation if I may) as a big selling point for this new Sinbad film. He has told me that he believes that people WANT to see real physical special effects again.

As people in the business of stop motion know all too well, that is a position that has been VERY much outside of the mainstream of thought over the past decade. I'm so thrilled that some of the animation I'll be shooting for this film was originally slotted to be computer generated but because the test animations I've shot for this production managed to convince Mr.Solimon (Sean) it can really work, he's decided to change the original plan and go the Dynamation way!

If this goes as well as we hope, this could be a turning point at last for an art form that's been dissed and dismissed for far too long. I Thank Sean for taking this gamble and I'm betting that when this film is done, the audience will Thank him too. :)
