"more" was written and directed by mark osborne, and created by a team that included, among others, keith and shannon lowry, rick orner, nick peterson, and david candelaria. although it was only a 6-minute short, it was, as osborne put it, an "absolutely massive undertaking"—as it was the first short to be shot using the imax format. in addition, it was filmed using stop motion, a much more time-consuming method than live-action filming techniques.
