2D Wednesday: “Viewpoint”

Today’s 2D Wednesday has some nice walks and an interesting visual demonstration of a person’s viewpoint.

Is life really so beautiful? It all probably depends on your point of view.

VIEWPOINT is the first part of an upcoming series entitled MY PRIVATE DICTIONARY,
where different words will be visualized by short pieces of animation.

2D Wednesday “Brutus the Bound” from Exit 73 Studios

A nice trailer for a series called Brutus the Bound from Joe Colson who we interviewed last year.

Very reminiscent of Samurai Jack (in a good way)… and it makes me want to see more!

Brutus, a great warrior from a distant planet, is ripped from his past and taken to the future of an evil Overlord. The Overlord holds Brutus’ family hostage, and binds Brutus in a temporal harness, forcing him to become an Infinite Gladiator, fighting opponents throughout time and space.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I was born and raised in the Bay Area, Santa Rosa to be exact. Charles Schulz also lived in Santa Rosa, and was a lifelong inspiration to me!! We actually Continue reading
