The movie took 3 weeks to shoot and another 3 weeks to edit using Final Cut Pro. It also took 15 months to animate.
The entire film was animated at 12 frames per second. The only portion that is truly 24 frames per second is the credits.
The Philip K. Dick essay being discussed is "How to Build a Universe that Doesn't Fall Apart Two Days Later," which is the introduction to his short story collection "I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon."
Shot entirely on video cameras, mostly handheld, then rotoscope-animated on Mac G4 computers and later transferred to 35mm film.
The whole film was shot and edited into a complete live-action version before animation began.
