Everybody Loves Nathan!

“Everybody Loves Nathan!” was shot for the PDI/Dreamworks Animation Lo-Tech film festival and won 1st prize in 2008. The challenge that year was entitled “Between-The-Lines” and the rules were:

1. 3 minutes or less (not including titles)
2. No CG!
3. The film must start and end with these two lines:
   “Open your eyes.” and “What are you going to do with that?”

At the time, Nathan Loofbourrow and I were co-supervising the rigging on “How to Train Your Dragon” and I decided to take the inevitable friction of our working closely together and raise it to ridiculous proportions.
