Hey Everyone. Thanks for all of the comments.

Interesting question...Why we did this?

We really wanted to see these shots, so figured we'd do it ourselves as an experiment...to see what the two of us could do in our garages.

We firmly believe that old school/practical and todays digital can and do play well together.

The original Tauntaun shots were go-motion. We could have done this in CGI, but it would have stood out and not be the same. Part of the character/charm we feel was in the technique used. We used digital as well where it would be efficient and maintain that look.

We also wanted to pay tribute to our mentors, and honor their work. We made a conscious effort NOT to replace their original work...just ADD a few shots we thought perhaps they would have done at the time.

We are glad the work is appreciated. It was fun for us to go back and play in ILM's sandbox...sort of.
