This film not only taught me how to effectively collaborate with my peers, but it also guided me through every important step of the entire production process, ranging from visual development all the way to the final animation. The experience involved a significant amount of work and considerable stress, yet I gained valuable insights into managing tight deadlines, effectively organizing my time, and understanding all that goes into the intricate making  of a stop motion film.
