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. So we had to get creative. Also, bananas are soft like apple sauce. They wilt quickly under hot lights. Not pretty (As you can see from one of the photos where the banana goes brown on us).

So here are some behind the scenes production stills for you to take a look at. Enjoy:

This one was a bit of a challenge. Banana’s aren’t exactly easy to animate. They don’t stand up. Who knew? But the sets were a lot of fun to make and we had a great time shooting this one. We hope you enjoy it:

More commandments shorts are in the works. We’re 3 down with 7 more to go!
