This project just drips with PASSION. (Some people might say the all-caps is unwarranted but I feel there is no other way.)
I found myself involuntarily smiling and giggling while reading this. Reminds me of so many things like that summer I tried rendering the creation story from the Book of Genesis using Flash. That, too, had a story board! I never finished it but I learned a bunch of Flash tricks. Not to mention some practicalities like how it's really hard to draw with a mouse as well as the computational limits of a hand-me-down Pentium 4 with 256MB of memory.
The friendship aspect also reminds me of the story of a handful of iconic rock bands, how they basically started as bunch of dudes who found some ran-down instruments and wanted to play. And just played and the rest is history.
It's charming exactly because they didn't get paid doing it. In fact, _no one_ would pay them to do this. And yet they did.
