"A Kiss From Tokyo" Theatrical trailer

"A Kiss From Tokyo", Theatrical Trailer (1964) - Yuki 7 dashes around the world in hot pursuit of the tantalizingly tricky Diamond Eye, who is stealing parts and plans and leaving behind a path of murdered scientists in her quest to build a missile inside her volcanic lair.

I co-directed it with and for Kevin Dart.
This animation is a part of a promotional event about the release of Kevin's new book, "Seductive Espionage, the world of Yuki 7" which will happen this summer.
Kevin produced the graphics and I gave them life in After Effects.

I tried to catch what was typical about the vintage look of the movies from this period. Lighting, grain, old school Special Effects (car chase in a studio with background projected film, miniature sets), editing, old fashion transitions, Music, etc...
Cyrille Marchesseau created a great piece of music inspired by Laurie Johnson (The Avengers) and John Barry (James bond).

Order the book, "Seductive Espionage: The World of Yuki 7" from www.fleetstreetscandal.com

This is PURE CLASS! I really hope that they make a full-length feature of this. Looking forward to getting the book "Seductive Espionage, the world of Yuki 7" this summer. Better than any James Bond film made in the last 20 years!

[darkdecease2]

I really want to watch this in a full length

[dmolinari]

I love this kind of 60's imagery and style, anybody know of any other good animations or short films like this?

[DanaTerrace]

This should be a feature length film.

[JJChalupa2000]

Sweet video man! I love the art style!

[is2scooby]

Fantastic atmosphere. Truly classic and classy.

So epic. I really wish this was made into a movie in this style.

Ahhh Kevin dart and his yuki 7 project - genius!! They really did a dam fine job animating Dart's artworks from the book for this little fake trailer and creating a nice score that fits right into the whole euro-spy genre that Dart is tapping into.

I heard there will soon be a follow up book and maybe even another fake trailer for "Looks that kill" - can't wait!
