The Mantis Parable is one of a select few that are part of the first ever launch of independent animated shorts on iTunes, each of which cost $1.99 to view. The quality is far superior to youtube.  :)

As far as production photos go, unfortunately they are scattered around the website, generally in the Making Of sections or the Production Journal section. However, I can provide you with links to a few publications that have posted images you might enjoy. The film has been featured in countless magazines, including gracing the cover of Computer Graphics World 2 months ago.

Here are some other feature articles regarding the film you might enjoy!

Enjoy!  :)
