A little background information...

We went to work in Thailand as part of a digital animation training course, and were asked to come up with an idea for a short film by the time we returned. For some reason the three of us thought the idea of the air stewardess’ safety demonstration as a musical might be funny, and started taking that idea to extremes (at one point all the passengers were going to be eaten by sharks, but we decided against).

How was the film made?

After working out the storyboard and animatic together, we designed and animated the characters using Flash, then composited them into the CG environments created in Maya, before editing and adding filters in After Effects. We worked with a sound studio in Cardiff to edit the audio.
