This blog follows the production of an animated short film called Lemons. Lemons is about an odd, agoraphobic gentleman, an unrequited crush, an open air market, and of course lemons. In both the fruit and situational sort. Kate Burck is an animator, illustrator, and designer. This film is the thesis production of her BFA at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.To see more of her work, please refer to the links at the top right of this site.

I’d like to have a trailer up soon but I’m without all of the software or a computer capeable of working on the beast. This is what I get for deciding to wait for new computers and processor models to come out.</p>http://kateburck.com/post/23358851124http://kateburck.com/post/23358851124Sat, 19 May 2012 13:27:57 -0400<p>Things got rather quiet here, but I want to let you all know that aside from a little re-recording of some audio, I finished the film today!</p>http://kateburck.com/post/22698020578http://kateburck.com/post/22698020578Tue, 08 May 2012 23:31:14 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2910wf7vO1ql2davo1_400.gif"/><br/><br/><p>This is Jennah.
