Distraxion, from start to finish is under two minutes long. The majority of the film was produced during his final two terms at the online animation school AnimationMentor.com. Over the course of the following year, he continued to polish the animation on nights and weekends. Once the animation was getting close to completion, he was able to hook up with some talented folks to help out with the lighting and sound. The response to this short film has been absolutely tremendous. According to its author: "Distraxion has succeeded well beyond my expectations".
