The Walled City (animation) Roger Hom genericlife.com

* GENERICLIFE.COM * 2 Graffiti artists in Hong Kong's Walled City emerge from one another's paintings. The final scene suggests these paintings are not the memories of the characters, but perhaps the city itself. The concept was inspired by the former Walled City of Hong Kong, Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, and punk DIY (Do It Yourself) attitude.

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... 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?

@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.
