The music and the video are inspired by seven paintings by Imre Égerházi, hungarian painter (1925 - 2001). The idea of the film came up in May 2003, when there were the music and pictures only, with no storyboard.

As the "Ice World" animation team were experienced Toonz users, it was obvious for them that they wouldn’t be able to keep the deadline and the budget with traditional methods. They were looking for something new and in parallel the TAB was coming up and seemed to be ideal for them, so they bought the software before its official release.

After they had bought the software, they started to use it for film production. The entire project took only two months and a half, including the time needed to be up to speed with the TAB and make some experiments before going actually in production.

This period of time included the making of the animation storyboard, the learning of the software, the complete animation and post production, altogether there were only two animators, a technical supervisor and a post-production expert working on the project. The complete animation was done in the TAB, including 3D movements in a multiplane environment, while the post production was done in Digital Fusion and Avid.
