I came across this wonderful animation which weaves three stories with very different graphic styles into one film. Based around the Indian epic the Ramayana, it was designed, animated, written and edited by Nina Paley on her computer at home. As you can imagine for one person, a lot of hard work went into this film and for Nina, it was literally a labour of love (one of the strands of the film is autobiographical).

Thus, a developer or project that iterates faster will yield better results than one that focuses on quality.

Regardless of the accuracy of the metaphor, there’s one thing I’ve seen in almost every project over the course of the last 15 years: Read the rest of this entry »
