As I was on a bit of a budget, I was also the narrator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zenni:<\/strong> <em>How long did the shoot take?<\/em><br>\n<strong>Andrew: <\/strong>From start to finish, this video took about 25 hours spread over the course of about a week. The only challenge I faced while making my video was myself. Since I created this entirely on my own, I really had to motivate myself to make it the best it could possibly be, regardless of how long it took.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zenni:<\/strong> <em>How long have you been doing animation?<\/em><br>\n<strong>Andrew: <\/strong>I started animating only a couple years ago when I took some classes about the technical aspects, as well as design principles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zenni:<\/strong> <em>Do you have any heroes in animation?<\/em><br>\n<strong>Andrew: <\/strong>I really admire Seth MacFarlane and Matt Groening.
