One of the artists put this awesome article together that explains everything:

How long the whole project took?
How many people were involved?
How did you guys get experienced talent like Billy West (Futurama,Ren & Stimpy) & Ellen Muth (Dead Like Me) to voice the short?
With the success of the current short, are you guys planning any more?
The production schedule was about ten and a half weeks. Although a lot of assets had been created prior.
We had about 25 people involved in the production. Plus a great director in Lee Stringer, an awesome creative vision from William Vaughan and Ivan Young was our editor.
As to how Ellen Muth and Billy West got involved you would need to ask either William or Lee but I can say having experienced actors definitely brought the production to a very high level. We all were stoked such talented people were involved and boosted our enthusiasm about the project.
As for plans for future episodes once again I can’t answer that, however I can say it would be awesome to work on another episode of Tofu. I would love to receive that phone call someday.
Big Congrats to William and the entire team!
I actually have a copy on DVD that I won at the NYC LW user group meeting… Maybe one day I’ll be able to get William to sign it!
