George Corbett, a professor from the University of St Andrews studies the connections between music and spiritual realities. Much like music, I often use multiple "subdivisions" of framerates within scenes.  Not only does this pair well with the hand-drawn style of the design, harkening back to frame by frame cell animation, but also reinforces a hierarchy of visual importance between layers.  While this was one of my early projects I completed with Grey Matter Group, it remains one of my favorites.
