Chamberland first discovered the work of Seth—whose real name is Gregory Gallant—while he was living in London.

The two men discussed films that had been done in the past about cartoon artists, and agreed that they didn't want to do anything remotely similar.

We sometimes never realize that all the turmoil and angst that we keep bottled up inside might just evaporate if we could learn to control our inner demons.Chamberland worked on Seth's Dominion over a seven-year period, while teaching storyboarding and animation part-time at Concordia University and Cégep du Vieux Montréal, and doing independent commercial and TV work, including developing the pilot for the series, Wild Kratts.

In an attempt to produce the aesthetics of the comic book style—as well as Seth himself, who dresses in an early 20th century style—Chamberland used film noir style lighting for interviews, and a vintage newsreel effect for live-action sequences.
