So by the time we edited the animatic it was less than 5 minutes worth of dialogue.

What the audience doesn't see during the process, they won't miss. Only we miss it.<br />We can always use that gag some other time. But, by time we get to that gag in another show, we've managed to make it better. <br />The story does rule and certain things don't matter in the big picture. You're right!<br />Doing a cartoon with a solid story and good visuals in 6 minutes, 40 seconds is certainly a great decipline to achieve. <br />I'm also know to have stories that are too ling and need to rewrite and take out the chainsaw. But, in the end, it's all good. And all solid. This is what's happening on my second short, "OH!.......it's Larry."<br />Good luck you guys and can't wait to see more stuff!!!!!!!<br />Talk soon.<br />Jeff<br /> Hey Guys…… we know what ya mean.
