The 14-minute Animal Behaviour, created using TVPaint 2D animation software, was produced over a period of roughly two-and-a-half years. “It was exciting to learn how to use TVPaint,” Fine remarks at the Annecy Festival, where AWN had a chance to sit down with the duo to discuss the making of their new film. “One of the impetuses for doing the film -- besides the creative desire to tell the story -- was that we were really interested in working with 2018 technology, because the last time we did a film it was cel paint and cels. There was a learning curve that was difficult at first, but once we got into it, it was like, ‘Oh we love this. This is so easy,’” he says.

Re: Alison Snowden & David Fine Talk ‘Animal Behaviour’
The entire film is online now . (I think all the films on the "short list" for the Academy Award are currently playing online for a limited time ; not sure if this one will stay up on the NFB site or if this is a limited-time only . As of January 4, 2018 , it's available .) --
