We started out with the boat scene. This was in early September of 2011. Patricia began by building the lovable boat characters, Khepri and Minty. Each had to be built more than once. There was a lot of trial and error here. We were working accross a lot of medium...from clay to cotton, to cloth, to found objects. Making all of this work in the world of stop motion animation proved to be a challenge.
The scene was quite difficult (according to Edgar) because the boat with Khepri and Minty Bear had a number of moving parts. The adjustment of each part had to be coordinated with the adjustment of every other part on the boat. :-0
