More tells the story
of an old, tired inventor as he struggles through joyless life in a
drab and passionless society, leading the same cold and colorless existence
accepted by the identical drones around him. At once tortured and inspired
by his dreaming of and yearning for his younger carefree days, he struggles
to finish the invention he hopes will give his life meaning and worth.
His world and the world of those around him is transformed when his
secret invention is completed. However, his subsequent success does
not come without sacrifice. The inventor realizes that the true essence
of his inspiration cannot be manufactured...

I was intrigued
and excited at the idea of taking a ten-inch puppet made out of
clay, wire and latex and bringing it to life on a screen six and
a half stories tall. Much to my surprise, stop motion in all of
its organic and handmade beauty was truly breathtaking and amazing
on this scale. Many people consider stop motion a dying art form,
so what better way to keep it alive then to bring it into this new
format, and celebrate its uniqueness by immersing the audience in
all of its beauty like never before.
We finished the print an hour before the premiere event. It wasn't
until that first screening that everyone involved saw the film projected
at its intended scale in the IMAX Theater. It was unbelievable to
see my story transformed to the huge screen after nine months of
intense concentration and focused work on tiny miniatures. It was
the ultimate thrill.
