The Tortoise and the Hare
Entirely done by Sam Thomson, this animated feature tells the tale of the traditonal fairy tale.
2007:
The Hobbit
Using the same techniques employed on the "Tortoise and the Hare", "The Hobbit" was a fifteen minute short covering Bilbo's conversation with Smaug, and the dragon's destruction of Lake-Town. This was the first film that Thomson Productions provided sound editing for.
The Dragon's Mount
In 2004, Andrew Loyd gave the story of "The Dragon's Mount" to Sam Thomson for a film adaptation. It wasn't until 2007 that Thomson Productions created the short animated film.
2008:
Julius Ceasar: A Sock's Tale
Done in true Muppet style, sock puppets take greenscreen to a new level in this parody. This was the first live-action film done by Thomson Productions to require an entirely digital shot.
Enigma
Based in part on the 1950s court cases of the Red Scare, this short explores what it really means to be a person.
2009:
Back to Juab High
"Back to Juab High" was a short produced by Thomson Productions for the campaign trail of Juab High School's Gold party. It included nineteen visual effects shots and the largest cast seen by a Thomson Production short.
