This film was one of the pioneers of digital filmmaking. I was fortunate enough to work with Tom Brigham of NYIT who won the academy award for the invention of the digital effect known as Morphing; and Daniel Harvey and Heather Akyroyd who do amazing things with grass; and the late Ben VanOs; Production designer of so many beautiful films. Bella did a lot of preproduction texture designs and then painted the original sets with his partner Jan Roelfs.
