The result of a workshop at Calarts in January 2007 with Bruce Bickford, animator for many of Frank Zappa's films, including Baby Snakes. The animation was shot in a 'marathon' style over 36 hours, with each animator or group of animators having 4 hours to work, and without seeing any of the animation before them. The music was recorded by the crew. The film was completed on Mr. Bickford's birthday.
This short animation film is based on a Tove Jansson picture book. It tells of the little knytt (“knytt” is a non-existing word signifying something tiny like a crumb) who is ever so lonely, but so shy that he is afraid to approach others.
