We worked with the wonderful stop motion artists/puppeteers Taili Wu and Brian Haimes to create the paper puppets seen at the beginning and end of this episode. I provided them with visual development sketches, including storyboards, and they delivered the handmade assets that I then digitally animated and composited.
