Originally made as a class project to adapt a children's story into a video. Director Jacob Horne instead decided to not use a children's story and instead use a Hellboy comic.
First time Jacob Horne has combined stop motion with live action.
It took director Jacob Horne 3 and a half hours to animate 7 seconds of footage featuring the monster.
Based on the Hellboy comic book story, The Nature of the Beast by Mike Mignola.
The animation style used for the dragon is based on Ray Harryhausen's various creature designs.
