Production notes:

Anime Studio Pro: the small orange character was build as vector, his name is Joe Pinio, and he is a mascot of a German blog OPINIO, run by a local newspaper, the Rheinische Post. Joe Pinio was boned to allow basic movement.

iMovie HD: this Apple software was used to connect the Anime clip and the closing credit, to which a effect was added to make it look like a old film projection.

Garageband: this Apple software was used to add voice and a loop, kid (laughing)
