N1 - Promise Land was made primarily for audiences less informed about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The purpose was to offer an alternative view to the one often presented by the general media, and to demonstrate the complexity of the situation to those who see the conflict in terms of black and white. Flack and Dolev worked closely to research and develop a unique animation technique to bring a distinctive design to the production through the innovative use of mixed media. Research focused on a design approach that would portray the different environments. Using a variety of textures with strong individual qualities, the flat-3D background appearance was substantially enhanced behind the overlaid 2-D drawn characters. The overall effect created a "handmade' look within a totally digital domain. A unique animation technique was also developed, employing digital compositing effects before final transfer to film. The animation was recorded digitally and output to a 35mm film print. This technological development allowed the end product to be resolution-independent for scale-ability to Hi Definition digital video or 35mm film. It developed new knowledge in this process, which was relatively unknown to the animation industry. Scottish Screen paid for the transfer to film (£20,000). The 16 minute film was selected and screened at 28 Film Festivals including the North American, Toronto International Film Festival in 2002, Annecy International Animation Festival in 2004 and was winner of the Best Animated Film Award in International Competition at the 18th Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival 31st Jan – 8 Feb 2003. It was premiered at 56th Edinburgh International Film Festival on 20 August 2002.
