A line from iSundae II says, “I wondered how a cat could be a wielder.” Well, I did too. It’s hard enough making an eight inch stuffed animal look like he’s thinking and walking and talking, but having him run around with people? People at least five times his size? Thankfully, we had had experience with the basic kitty moves. Wiggle him, he looks like he’s talking. Hop him around on strings, he’s walking. The real pinch was in taking him outside of Mr. Kitty’s Babysitting Set, and putting him in there with the big dogs. [Read more →]

Believe me, after twenty minutes of acting under two-thousand watts of light (and more than five yards of velvet) you feel like you’re flying, and it’s not a pleasant sensation.

Staying cheerful and hydrated during the Flying Machine Sequence was one of the hardest and most personally challenging things I did during the production of iSundae II. The staying cheerful part especially. Bad attitudes can spread like wildfire on the best of days, and filming in a tight area just makes them spread faster.

Some people learn slower than others. That’s got to be the only explanation for why we decided to throw not one, but two musical numbers into our second movie. Wasn’t iSundae I hard enough? Maybe we’re gluttons for punishment. Or maybe the songs just begged to be written. But however it happened, we wound up with two scenes that involved singing.
