	Will Vinton - Will Vinton's History (and the History of Claymation and Computer Animation)
		The success Vinton experienced with the longer narrative form encouraged him to believe a feature-length film was possible, but first he would need to consolidate the techniques his studio had pioneered.
		Turning to Vinton to help launch their Blue MandM campaign, the studio's CGI depiction of a Red and Yellow MandM trying to come to terms with the new-found popularity of the Blue MandM generated the same sort of response achieved years earlier by the CLAYMATION Raisins.
		Vinton and Wiese also wrote JACK HIGHTOWER as a graphic novel (a new medium for Vinton) to be released by Dark Horse Comics in August, 2005.
