The thing that needs to be mentioned concerning this is that I come from a storytelling background, not so much an animation background. For me, writing and telling multi-faceted stories has always been my forte and concerns whenever it comes to directing is how a decision will affect the story.

One thing that also needs to be mentioned is that no fan animation really tries to be identical to one another. We all learn from our mistakes and we need to make mistakes in order for us to get our successes. Regardless of how you feel about Snowdrop or Double Rainboom or other fan animations, they are influential to us because we are capable of taking away from them their strengths and weaknesses so that we can make sure we don’t make the same mistakes. Does that mean the movie is gonna be immune to its own faults? Absolutely not.

But people need to be more open minded to the idea that fan animations will have flaws and they won’t always exceed expectations. We’re gonna try of course, but I feel like people should be more open minded about things like this because in the end, we’re all amateurs trying to make it into the business and these types of projects are our way of learning what we’re capable of achieving.
