Well, we could do that, but I think the stories read roughly the length of the films that one could make from those. so, that's about 25-30 minutes for the four short stories. I think Approaching the Infinite makes the most sense as a fully animated short, which is partly to play off the Dagg likeness thing more, plus it's full of sci-fi stuff that's easier to do if it's animated in a traditional style. Obviously He Pō Hei Maumahara is something like 15-20 minutes, and possibly half an hour if all the flashback scenes are fleshed out into full scenes. - Then there's the political sketches... I think there's an increasing vibe that my whole Alternative Commentary Collective take on politics is catching on, but I question whether they'd work well in a show. I think they're very much viral media things; that's been my whole thing for a while, whereas I could sense while writing A Night to Remember that it was a winner. So, yes, let's do that, The Plaything, The Day The Flat Burned Down and Approaching The Infinite. Whether the paint effect is useful for all of these, I don't know; I certainly plan to use some AI VFX in The Plaything, but I think that some of the flat mould should be real for The Day The Flat Burned Down; the expanding mould is more of a traditional VFX thing that I'd have to find someone to do. Then, as mentioned above, Approaching The Infinite should be a proper cartoon.
