When I first came up with the idea, I wrote knowing it would be low budget. It's heavily dialogue based, has only a few main characters and the locations are found almost anywhere, mostly public places. When I first started writing I even considered shooting it guerrilla style but as its progressed I see the need for the story to be shot in a more professional style to show the true beauty of the story.
Thanks for your responses. It would fail as an animation unless it was shot and colored like, A Scanner Darkly or Waking Life but that would double production costs. I'm not even sure I would want to direct it or produce it. Maybe shoot a trailer and do the the crowd funding thing. I want to see it to fruition but have so many other ends to the candle burning. Writing is something I do daily. Directing not so much...
