Thanks humanodon. (incredible name btw)

/Just out of curiosity, why no faces?/

I exclude faces, as well as a lot of detail in general, for a number of reasons. Simplicity is golden. Consistency is important. And the faster the better. Designing faces for characters, along with appropriate facial expressions would just take too much time. With all this project required in the time frame set, I had to be honest with myself that my level of design skills could not maintain a consistent over all look beyond geometric shape. So Cadell and I both felt very comfortable keeping the same aesthetics as the "Are Chimps Cultural?" video and trusting that with each episode our skills would improve! As each episodes wraps up, I can feel this happening! Small amounts of confidence and skill are accumulating and bit by tiny bit the videos shall convey this! (I hope!)
