CONCLUSION

Using the development of Vessel of Wrath as a vehicle for exploring my philosophical interests has allowed me to converse with many people who find the subject not only interesting, but important. Those involved with in-depth examination of animation have expressed the need to look further at theological compatibilism in terms of the animation process because the topic, once raised, becomes nearly unavoidable when the relationship of the animator to the creation is portrayed. I have also found that my animated short brings lesser-known, often avoided, realities for the Christian worldview into discussion and provides a sufficiently clear representation of theological compatibilism.
