Llinos says, 鈥淚 chose this audio for the rhythm and flow of the conversation. I wanted to portray the thoughts communicated between Edward and James and the uncertainty present in the discussion. To do this I followed and took cues from the audio when animating, putting the conversation first. The look of the film borders the line between realism and the surreal. I drew on reality for the movement and expressions of the characters, but left the designs abstract and colourful to add something more dreamlike to the look of the film. I kept the figures' designs minimal to avoid imposing an identity on the speakers, but added pig features in reference to the audio's title. I'd like for the audience to decide whether these features are real or part of a costume.鈥
