Production

Cody Vibbart is an American filmmaker from Ventura, California. He began writing stories, drawing, and acting at a young age. When he was nine, Vibbart began making films with his brother using a home video camera. As an adult, he works full-time as a supervising video editor for a social media platform and currently lives with his fiancé, Corina.

In 1998, Vibbart attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival with his mother. At the event, he learned about an individual who, by themselves, created a short 3D-animated film entirely on Bryce, a software Vibbart later installed to learn more about animating.

The Exigency was written, directed, and produced by Vibbart under his production banner Cuz Productions. The idea for the film arrived in 2006, originally under the working title Sleeping Giant, and revolved around a person who woke up to the sight of two UFOs targeting them specifically.

Vibbart was one of the only people to work on The Exigency and joked that he contributed 98 percent of the finished product. As Sleeping Giant, he animated ten minutes worth of footage using character modules from the Poser4 base model.

According to Vibbart, the banquet scene was the most tedious to animate, due to Poser's inefficiency to produce, position, and animate large amounts of characters. This resulted in a problem with animating the crowd clapping but Vibbart simply ignored the issue and moved on.
