“Otmar’s name was inspired by Pingu creator Otmar Gutmann. A classic kids claymation program I watched in Canada growing up.” — Michelle Ouellette, Illustrator
“These Close Encounters micro-shorts are our attempt to try new styles – both in animation and illustration. Making something simply for the joy of experimentation is pretty much my happy place.” — Chad Thompson, Animator
