Thirteen people were asked to participate in this exquisite corpse animated film, but under certain conditions: they had twenty-four hours for completion, and were allowed to see only the last two frames of what the person before them had created. Half of the participants had never animated and half had; the theme was "hair and punching." Two dropped out, and one talented composer created the score in less than twenty-four hours. The film is documentation of a performance. Score by Corey Fogel. Big Skills is the product of Hutin and Zavala's ongoing collaboration that began at the University of Florida's School of Art and Art History in 1999.
