According to Holopainen, the film has evolved radically from the original plan, while still retaining the main spirit of the foundation.

The film evolved slowly, more through instinct than planning.

Its interesting going through these old "final" storyboards, since its pretty clear the film evolved right throughout the shooting process.

The film evolves around three female characters; a young lady, and old woman, and a girl.

As the film evolves we learn that the mastermind is none other than the boy's own mother who it turns out had adopted him.

As a result the film evolved from a music video into a narrative short.

Another noteworthy feature about the film is that the film evolves in real-time.

We talked about it for a long time, and then David did his own draft, and the film evolved from that.

Finish to start; the film began with the collision-was it real then- and evolved back toward my birth, each detail magnified.

Coincidentally, the film was evolving as Seagram began pressing Universal to cut costs.
