A Gentlemen's Duel

August 8th 2007 00:25
Thanks to an anonymous commenter, who pointed out that this isn't amateur at all... it's done by Blur Studios.

Amateur animation improves every year, as software packages get better and better at helping artists convey their ideas into viewable media. A lot of it is awful tripe, but there are some spectacular gems out there.

A Gentlemen's Duel is an exceptional short animation, about a Frenchman and an Englishman, both competing for a lady with a heaving bust, who says nothing amidst all the yelling and fighting.

It's part-Shrek to start, but it quickly becomes a Looney Tunes showcase, with slapstick hilarity. When things evolve into a battle that tips its hat to both cyberpunk and anime, you'll know things have gone golden.

Now that was funny.
I love it from the frogs at the beginning to the electric eels.

I did not get to the post soon enough and the video was removed. Another case of the job getting in the way of the blog.
