After weeks of making a series of big messes in the studio and on our laptops and big-shot computers, we’ve finally sorted out all of the mislabeled files and come out the other end with the production stills from our most recent 10 Commandments short, No. 7: Thou Shalt Not Steal. This shoot was a little bit more hectic than other shoots. First of all, animating bananas is one of the hardest things to do besides maybe animating water without something to hold it.

This is like the extra features or Bonus Disc of the first short without all of the mess of a DVD… because DVDs are super messy. (here is the short again so you can watch it while you read and look) Anyways, the concept for this series came from a few ideas we’d had about doing some sort of religious/vegetable and fruit stop-motion animation. In the past we’d begun work on the stations of the cross using potatoes but it didn’t feel like this was hitting the mark as well as some of the other possibilities we came up with.
