“I was initially approached by the producers at a panel discussion. They had seen my previous work and wanted similar conceptual development of animations, graphic elements, font types, style frames for both trailers and various film segments. I agreed to produce material a month later. Some images were solely developed for fund raising, short trailers and presentations for various waves of project development. I was responsible for the initial concept work as the animators and film directors exchanged ideas, possibilities, and final renderings. Below are just a few of the images I created for this timely documentary.” -M.T.
