From character design (they purposely made &#8220;uglier&#8221; characters!), to how they filmed the decomposition stage (watch the whole show to find out more!), they shared their experience with fans and students generously. Max and Ru combine handcrafted art, photography, and digital techniques into their animations; and adds their own humor into the mix. The result? Beautiful, one-of-a-kind <em>handmade<\/em> films that I wouldn&#8217;t mind watching over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>See more of the duo&#8217;s work over at <a href=\"http:\/\/tinyinventions.com\/\">Tiny Inventions<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><em>{Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/ginahief.wordpress.com\/\">Gina<\/a> for pointing out their work!}<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Tiny Inventions\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2010\/07\/28\/tiny-inventions\/\" aria-label=\"More on Tiny Inventions\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1398"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1398"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1398\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30517,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1398\/revisions\/30517"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
