Tree - The making of a short film
The journey is never to create a “low budget film”, but to give a film categorized as “low budget” the ability to convey a message that people will hear. Director Phil Dale spent one year creating the short film “Tree”. On his blog, Tree- The making of a short film, Dale and a few of his partners describe the challenges of creating a film with a nearly nonexistent budget.

Dale is wonderfully inept at including topics to interest both his colleagues in short film, as well as those who simply enjoy watching films. Writing as an artist sharing his craft with the world, he genuinely wants to make known his struggles and triumphs. Dale has sixteen years experience in the world of animation and was most recently recognized for his work on the animated film, Coraline.
In reading the very first paragraph of this blog, it is easy to recognize Dale’s passion for his craft. After filming was complete, Dale made it a point to revisit his blog a year later and update readers on the status of his film. This blog is easy to read and interesting because it isn’t overly verbose and includes beautiful pictures and actual footage to accompany the narrative.
I suppose I can both ask a question and appreciate this interpretation. First, is the direction of the blog centered around his film, Tree, or is it centered around the challenges of making a film with a tiny bugdet? The reason I ask is just because both ideas are kind of brought up in the first paragraph. In response to the last two paragraphs I appreciate the level of interpretation where you can identify that Dale is very passionate about film (and is such a craftsmen for having no money to work with for his films). I also like that you seem to have a very good idea of Dale's purpose for filming, and that is to interest both colleagues and short film watchers with his films.
