We’ve featured Jon Dunleavy’s work on 4mations before. He’s currently busy working on “Crash Bang Wallow”, a 4mations Digital Shorts production with an 80s twist. In this interview, he talks to us about aliens, action, and punctuation. Punctuation?!?!?
Some days, things just don’t work out the way you want them to. Say you’re an alien, and you shoot lasers out of your eye, and you’re feeling pretty smug about it. Say another alien comes along, and HE can shoot lasers out of his eyes, and this is getting in the way of you taking over a planet. You’d be pretty bummed out, right?
Well, bummed out is how I feel.
I’ve been writing this review all morning. I’ve griped about the “overbearing music”, while admiring the “quirky and convincing character design”. I’ve used phrases like “economic but sophisticated”, “tactile plasticity”, and “fine sense of timing and rhythm”.
All true, all ridiculous.
So, let’s make this simple:
Sean Mullen and Ben Harper , two students at the Irish School of Animation, have sent us this very good, inventive little film.
It has aliens in it. They shoot lasers out of their eyes. It looks ace. Watch it now.
Some of our animations have adult themes
