"I think a lot of the reason the series works is that from the first frames, the audience knows I'm making no effort whatsoever to impress them with technique or technology. It's like watching a sock puppet become very alive. The audience then focuses almost entirely on the stories, which is what this series is all about to me anyway."
-Lev Yilmaz
Using a DV camera and a basic computer to create the films, most episodes in the series 'Tales of Mere Existence Series' take about two days to put together.
