When I Was Three

2002-2013


Episode 18: Nadia Comaneci, When I Was Three

It began in 2001 on Echo, New York’s premiere online discussion salon with a “Question of the Day”. That day’s question was “What is your earliest childhood memory?” Within minutes I posted three stories and fellow Echoid Ellen Tarlow responded “You should make these into a series of animations!” and the idea was planted.

The earliest episodes were completed in the spring of 2002 and it was developed into a series in the fall of 2003, with the structural constraint that each animation had to be completed in an afternoon. The series ran online for two years.

In very exciting news, this Spring 2013, When I Was Three is making a home at Punch TV!! So, check your local listings! You can also see current episodes being broadcast at WhenIWasThree.com
