This clip is really at the core of Theo’s “Good News.” It clearly depicts the awful separation between sinful mankind and holy God. Because “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), there is no way for this young couple to cross the great divide without Jesus Christ becoming the “Light Bridge.” But in Christ there is no divide at all.
This is the “good news” Theo wants the world to know. We chose to depict the young couple in rotoscope form, and without features, so that the viewer could better identify with one or the other character, and perhaps project his/her face in its place.
It is our hope that you, as did the young couple in the clip, choose the free gift of life through Jesus Christ.
About this clip: These scenes are the heart of our production. When we were brainstorming on how to translate this message onto the screen, we thought about using the technique of rotoscoping. For those of you who are not familiar with this process, it is basically tracing around filmed digital images on the computer. It took about a month to complete this short bit of footage. Daniel, our fine arts designer worked on this section, and we are very proud of how it turned out.

Theo was created in order to reach children, from preschool through elementary school, in ALL cultures, with the “Good News” of the Bible, truths that would be taught in such a way that children will not only enjoy the learning process, but also retain what they have learned.
This is an exciting time for us here at Theo Cartoons. This marks the first day that our website went live, and here is the first video clip that we are so excited to share with you:
If this project strikes a chord with you… if you wish to see more of Theo and the teaching of God’s Word reach our children… you can help us just by sharing this website with your family and friends.
