The epic volumes of KILL BILL 1 and 2 gave me the chance to try out more simple animated ideas in 2003-2004. That idea being to butcher the brand with swordplay and paint the result in blood.
Well I tried.
Volume 1 offered the chance to re-create Tarantino‘s recreation of the color scheme originated by Bruce Lee. Playing with the 70s typeface was a trip. If you blink, you’ll miss the Hattori HanzÅ affect the perfect kill-shot.
In the not-so-distant past, I dabbled with animation. The times were young an frivolous. My experimentation was with animated gifs. Sure it was crude and sort of cheesy by today’s standards. Hell, it was cheesy back then. The only way you can grow is to expand and visit new shores.
The time was the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show. You know the thing that no one watches on TV. Ms Jackson sort of exposed a breast to the whole of the USA and parents got their tits in a twist. At the time a friend pondered if the uproar was because of a bare breast or because that bare breast was african american. That’s a debate for another post.
Adult Swim, in their salad days, aired a bump that re-created the scandal in ascii form. This gave me the idea to extend the thought to the next level.
