The Floobs: The Rainbow Quest

This is episode 2 of The Floobs, a film made using knitted characters with input from school children. For me this is a good way of learning about film making, which even with two people is a very slow and frustrating technical process! However there has been some progress in technique since the first film. This was filmed in one day. We had a script, the video as edited to reduce its size (from about 15 minutes overall to under 10), and the soundtrack was applied in three tracks; an ambient/music track, a digital spot sound effect track, and a third live track including narration and live sound effects.

The story borrows from the Pandora's Box myth and is an opener to a series of quests for different virtues.
