The Birth of Our Piggy

by Don

The name of the short is "Little Hog From Heaven" (LHFH) and we are titling the 'first' episode "Switcheroo".

T-Bob designed the basis of main characters a couple years ago in a couple of his paintings. Our main characters are Little Hog From Heaven and Evil Asian Robot and the main stories are inspired by chaotic and ridiculous real life events of ourselves and our friends.

In 2008 T-Bob and I spent an evening together flushing out a story idea and outline. T-Bob came back a week later with a written screen play and we recorded a rough read through of the first draft. T-Bob had been writing screenplays for a couple years already and had received a few awards for his finished scripts including being chosen as a finalist in the 2009 Slamdance Teleplay competition.

In Fall of 2009 Bernard finally moved out to Los Angeles to "pursue production opportunities" and we started playing with the idea of all three of us working together to create a film together.

Although none of us consider our selves cartoonists or illustrators, I was inspired by completing my first animated video for a holiday promotion earlier that month and was excited in trying to do something scripted on a larger scale.

Right after Christmas we decided there was no reason we shouldn't team up and see if we could make a little short film.
