Sad memories from the attempt to revive The TV. Series: Professor Kapok and Mechanic Nick.

Nearly the whole year of 1997 was spent at Video Bornholm. The beautiful sunshine island in the Baltic Sea. We tried to work them into computer animation but it did not work out. The figures has to be constructed in the programs one will use. So we wait.

Instead we did a Video, titled "Origami & Kirigami from the Archives of Thoki Yenn."
