I rewrote the Intro, for 2 reasons: Since they grow up to be do-gooders it made better story sense to have Baxter do something chivalrous for Clyde when they meet, rather than merely applaud his amazing powers. Now Baxter sees a hungry cat ready to pounce on Clyde and he sacrifices his rattle by throwing it at the mailbox post (updated to mailbox 7/7/13) where it shatters and scares the cat away (I will show a "target" in his mind superimposed over the mailbox so there will be no mistaking that he is aiming for the mailbox, and not the cat. I love cats, even imaginary ones). I also thought that I had too much going on in the first draft (i.e. too many characters to animate!). The ending is still the same as before.
A chronicle of the making of my animated short film, "Baxter and Clyde", in progress. It is set in the mid 1960s in my home state of Maine and features a young boy named Baxter Woods and his shape-shifting duck friend, Clyde. Best friends since babyhood, they use their complementary abilities to help restore order wherever there is chaos.
