Why does it take so long to make an episode of Perceval & the Grail?

First I have to create the 'world', ie, the scene in the diorama, and sometimes each section of action can require a different set up: such as creating 'hills' (boxes draped with brown and green cloth) or woods (I go and prune my hedges) or castle interiors (I use an array of clothes, decorative details, Led lights)  - then I may have to make a costume for the 3 3/4 " figures, add a cloak, or headdress, and this is tricky because they are so small, then I have to take a load of photos, check which ones will work (ie, are not out of focus or don't work for other reasons), finding poses/close-ups for each line of dialogue, stage direction or sound effect. Then these photos have to be photoshopped into the 'Coloured Pencil' effect. I also have to search on wiki commons, or my own photos, including some which my children or husband have taken, and combine these with the photos of the figures in the diorama, to create a rough time line on i-photo slide show. Then, my husband Jon, who is a film maker, imports the timeline into Final Cut Pro, and adjusts the time line and edits of the photos, adding FX/cuts/connections, to make it all work, puts in the titles and credits, and uploads to YouTube!
