awesome style!

[zomgtehrei]

nice krylon cans. Did you base these backgrounds off photos?

[genericrog]

@zomgtehrei Thanks! Very few people have noticed Portia's Krylon can. I put in small details peppered throughout the animation that I hope people will continue to discover. The backgrounds are inspired from photos of the Kowloon Walled City.

great animation! if you are interessed for similar motion pictures like yours visit my channel or look for

"casa portuguesa animation"

[oclandestin]

Great animation... I'm just curious about why the character would be wearing a Union Jack t-shirt if the Walled City was a no-man's land, out of the control of both the British and Chinese? Just an interesting irony?

[genericrog]

@oclandestin Thanks! Glad someone noticed. It is an ironic element. Redd wears the Union Jack in a disheveled graffiti splattered state, a subtle jab at the Brit's handling of Hong Kong.

[Sangfroidation]

Niceee vid. :]

[genericrog]

Thanks very much!

[accde]

nice~~

feels like "Killer 7".

[genericrog]

Yeah it does a little bit i guess, but I made my film before Killer 7 came out. I think its more inspired by Frank Miller's Sin City.

the first szene is copied from the manga `ghost in a shell `:P

[electrosphere]

it's not the same thing except a lady falling down from the top of a building. I won't call that "copying" in fact.

nice animation man~

[genericrog]

Thanks everyone. I do love Ghost in the Shell, and I do like people jumping from buildings: Daredevil, Matrix, Animatrix, Ghost in the Shell... etc...hahaha

[kwnzchx]

very nice..real good stuff. the technique is kewl..it is 2D plus 3D.

[genericrog]

Thanks! thats what i was hoping to achieve: a mix of a comic graphic novel and 3d

One cannot have true personal freedom without political freedom, although the Hong Kongers lived under British rule, and now under the heavy hand of the PRC, I cannot understand why they fear China. China fears Hong Kong... it is the shining example of Chinese commerce.

[carmeoc]

how do you define political freedom?

why do you think hong kong fears china?

[itchyweasel62]

pretty cool

[bEckerbursche]
