The phones have been ringing off the hooks here at Motionographer HQ, with angry members of the motion-going public wondering why Adam Gault’s ‘Living and Dying Part 1’ wasn’t posted as a feature. So before someone burns my car out, here it is…

“It is a personal piece. Honestly, the inspiration came mostly from Stefanie. She had made the first couple of paintings a while back, and when I saw them I thought they would be really great to animate.
