The 14-minute Animal Behaviour, created using TVPaint 2D animation software, was produced over a period of roughly two-and-a-half years. “It was exciting to learn how to use TVPaint,” Fine remarks at the Annecy Festival, where AWN had a chance to sit down with the duo to discuss the making of their new film. “One of the impetuses for doing the film -- besides the creative desire to tell the story -- was that we were really interested in working with 2018 technology, because the last time we did a film it was cel paint and cels. There was a learning curve that was difficult at first, but once we got into it, it was like, ‘Oh we love this. This is so easy,’” he says.

The entire film is online now . (I think all the films on the "short list" for the Academy Award are currently playing online for a limited time ; not sure if this one will stay up on the NFB site or if this is a limited-time only . As of January 4, 2018 , it's available .) --
