How to Make a Baby
April 22, 2009 2:25 pm
Cassidy Curtis, an animator at PDI/DreamWorks, and his wife, Raquel Coelho, created this charming pixilated short that also serves as a document of a pregnancy. The extensive notes on how they made it are worth reading:

I love this!
Nice work!
Oh, and the short was funny too :-D
So that’s where babies come from…
Brilliantly brilliant!
Congrats to Cassidy and Raquel, for the baby and the film.
Really cute. It reminds me of the a time-lapse thing that a guy who lived somewhere in Europe, (I can’t recall where), made. He shot a photograph of his child in the same pose, every day from baby to adult. Thanks for this one Amid.
Wow. How neat. They will forever be glad they made that film.
It’s creepy to me. but it’s a good film.
That’s very funny and creative. Rather timely too…my wife and I are expecting and found out yesterday it’s a boy. :)
don’t forget that Raquel is an animator too. I believe at Tippett

Very clever. And a cute kid to boot :}
Super cute! :D
And nicely done. :)
Meh. Just think of how much better this would’ve been if a Pixar couple had made it.
That was worth all the work. If only it were that easy!
haha Raquel you and Cassidy are totally awesome. Congrats on the baby!!!!
hahahaha! its really cracked me up !! LOVE IT !
Couldn’t stop notice cookiepuss nonsense comment. I can easily picture you watching a episode of FRIENDS wondering how great it would be if pixar has done it. :D
Say now, that’s not how WE made our babies! This way looks way more fun. I feel robbed. Congrats to Cassidy & Raquel — very cute short! And very cute baby, too!
“Meh. Just think of how much better this would’ve been if a Pixar couple had made it.”
…. wins the thread.
I KNEW you could get pregnant from oral sex.
And to think, all this time my wife and I have been doing it the hard way…
Oh, dear. And for fifteen years, I’VE been doing it the hard way.
very cute idea :-)
So… just wondering… the books on the bookshelf….. for all those months…. was it planned NOT to move them at all, as part of the composition OR
did it just turn out that way unsuspectingly due to the busyness of life ?
“Meh. Just think of how much better this would’ve been if a Pixar couple had made it.”
Wow, best commenton this whole block.
The person who keeps quoting “cookiepuss” is really starting to annoy me.
Great animation Cassidy! You and your wife make the cutest couple! =)
