Question: How long did it take Amadhia Albee to complete the 2004 pilot episode released in late 2004 on DVD that was intended as both a first episode of a projected series and as a Lightwave technology demo?

Kaze, Ghost Warrior is an independent, computer animated film featuring anthropomorphic animals as the inhabitants of a distant world.  The 22-minute pilot episode, created entirely by Timothy Albee, is intended to be viewed as both the first episode of a projected series, and as a Lightwave technology demo.  The film was released in late 2004 on DVD and is available through a private distributor.  It has also traversed the globe within numerous film festivals winning awards and recognition along the way and is currently touring the U.K.  The second episode of the series is currently in development.  A touched-up re-release of the pilot is also planned and would include such polishing touches as tails for the characters, a voice for Utsukushii, and "an in-depth scene between Kaze and his father talking about Kaze's disappearance and return." <SEP> Amadhia Albee (previously under the stage-/pen-names, Timothy Albee and then Amadhi Albee) is the creator of "Kaze, Ghost Warrior", which she made when she was credited as Timothy Albee.  Amadhia needed six months to complete the 22 minute short film, using two computers.  She also published a book on the process she used. <SEP> A television pilot (also known as a pilot or a pilot episode and sometimes marketed as a tele-movie) is a standalone episode of a television series that is used to sell the show to a television network.  At the time of its creation, the pilot is meant to be the testing ground to gauge whether a series will be successful, and is therefore a test episode of an intended television series.  It is an early step in the development of a television series, much like pilot studies serve as precursors to the start of larger activity.  In the case of a successful television series, the pilot is commonly the very first episode that is aired of the particular series under its own name.  A "back door pilot", is an episode of an existing successful series, that features future tie-in characters of an up-and-coming television series or film.  The purpose of the "back door pilot" is to introduce the characters to an audience before the creators decide on whether they want to pursue a spin-off series with those characters or not. <SEP> Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!  (がくえんゆーとぴあ まなびストレート!  , Gakuen Yūtopia Manabi Sutorēto!  , often shortened to Manabi Straight!)  is a Japanese multimedia project co-developed by the animation studio Ufotable and MediaWorks.  The project revolves around a group of high school girls in the year 2035 when the birth rate has dropped dramatically.  It launched in August 2004 in MediaWorks' "Dengeki AniMaga" magazine, and went on to produce a manga adaptation serialized in MediaWorks' "Dengeki Daioh", and a second manga serialized in Enterbrain's "Famitsu Comic Clear".  A 12-episode anime series aired on TV Tokyo between January and March 2007, and is complemented by a bonus episode released exclusively on DVD in October 2007.  A PlayStation 2 visual novel based on the series was released in Japan in March 2007, developed by Marvelous Interactive.
