We have expanded our creative team. We recently hired two new employees for our ink and paint department, Kenric Nilsson and Brian Lammey. The ink and paint department is one of our most important departments as well as busiest. These guys take all our scenes import them into the computer by scanning each individual frame and digitally paint them. This process back in the day would take weeks, and a painter would paint each cell by hand. Now it takes only a matter of hours with the blessing of the computer. We are very excited to be growing and expanding our animation studio and we welcome these guys aboard.

The inimitable Tony Bancroft dropped by the studio to update us on a scene that he is animating for our second episode “Saving Faith”. Mike and Tony go over a particular scene, (the greedy fingers scene) as well as take a peak at the storyboard for our third episode “Loving Obedience”. We always enjoy visits from our animators.

Shoebox Bible Theatre is something new that we are introducing in our second episode “Saving Faith”. Shoebox is a special project to Whitestone Media. Here we get a glimpse of Mike and Daniel Horine looking over backgrounds and discussing the scene which will feature the story of Abraham “the father of the faithful”.
The multifaceted Wendell Washer is storyboarding our Shoebox Bible Theatres. He is currently storyboarding for our fourth episode about forgiveness.
