“A rabbit dressed in a trench coat and fedora runs frantically down an empty road toward the edge of a cliff while being chased by a man wearing nothing but “I Love Sarah Palin” boxers.  The rabbit throws himself over the edge of the cliff and—

“Cut! The edge of the road is uneven. And let’s do something about this light. Move the sun just a tad to the left.” Within minutes the road is a perfect line of black asphalt and the sun rests in its new position.

Such is a morning of shooting on the set of the latest in the ongoing series of Tiny Nation produced by the Ill Clan Animation Studios, a leading machinima production studio that has produced work for CBS and major corporations.”
