Thanks for the kind words.
It took about an hour to shape and photograph the individual parts. About three hours to color and edit the photos, then compile them into After Effects. I had to figure out how to control the animation for the eye movement, so another hour or so to actually animate it.
This was mainly a test to see if it was feasable, and to give me a taste of how it might look. I know an actual story will be way more complicated.
