Heroes, all
I watched this last night and thought I hated it until I watched the "making of" extra feature. What these plucky Scots were able to achieve with almost no money and ten days (outdoor!) shooting time was amazing and inspirational. Perhaps most impressive was that the director had to teach himself CGI animation in order to finish post-production. That's right, they did their own animation and learned it on the fly. The wankers at Scottish Screen should sing "mea culpa" and throw money at Stirton's gang. Even if you think the movie falls short, watch the "making of" feature and see if you don't find yourself rooting for these fellows and feeling a bit less judgmental about the end result. They are heroes, all.
