Todd Solondz: My Movies Aren't For Everyone
The brief was a single audio track of Todd Solondz talking about how he makes films. Everything else in this two-minute short was invented from that recording, down to every hand-drawn frame.

A Brooklyn animation studio built around drawing.
The studio is led by Scott Berglund, a creative director, animator, illustrator and motion designer with 20 years of experience. Scott studied animation at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and began as a motion designer at Fallon and Periscope. His drawing has a sketchy, hand-drawn quality that gives every project a human touch.
Berglund stays small on purpose. You work directly with the person drawing your project, and we bring in trusted collaborators when a job calls for more hands.
