But the inspiration for anima- tion didn’t just begin on its own. Jones’ love for art — unearthed at a very early age — and the in- genuity of assembling something out of nothing set the stage for the creation of this film. His aunt had asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he re- plied “a pirate or an artist.” As a kid, he said, it was always hard to imagine the two com- bined for a profession, but now he combines his dream of being a pirate into his classroom. “It is almost like a wave of chaos from the sea,” he said and chuckled. Jones received the Shine Award for excellence in teaching from the Iowa City School Dis- trict Foundation in part for his work on “The Robot and the But- terfly.” This student-made an- imation received Best Student Film and Best Short Film — Audience Choice — at the Iowa Indie Film Fest and Landlocked Film Festival in 2012.
