To reflect the theme of the short film, Krista conceptualized and created the dress she is wearing from Japanese paper. It held up surprisingly well under the hot lights and was the perfect symbolic (but not a very comfortable) choice. There was a long train made of old love letters and an program to "Nabucco" (Warsaw production 1999) that was removed during the final shoot at the request of the director.
Stop motion animators Sylvie Trouvé and Dale Hayward became new parents just before shooting began and so they alternated animating and taking care of their wee one during the animation process. Often the baby was overseeing the production.
