Kings of Power Pirate Baby's Street Fight
Recently came across this animator Paul Robertson while surfing kotaku. What started off as a (fake?) advertisement and tribute to games in the 8 bit era led me to go find his short films.
His style is pretty interesting. He draws 16-bit cutesy sprites from a a earlier gaming era, adds in a lot of blood and gore, and yet his story does tribute to many video game franchises all in 1 package.
To give you an idea of his work, just imagine Maple Story characters fighting zombies in Resident Evil. ;)
In a era where most people use machinima to do their short films, it is rare to find such a talent who still does (hand-drawn?) animation (emulating 16-bit sprite format, of all things) and yet pulls it off so well.
His first film seems to be Pirate Baby's Cabana Street Fight (Cool name, ain't it?). A tribute to Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, and Resident Evil all at the same time.
Be forewarned, this show can be considered PG. Blood (lots of it) spilled in black and white movie.
Part One
Part Two
His next movie is Kings of Power 4 Billion%. In colour! Tribute of so many video games and other stuff that I lost track of them. The torrent link comes from his blog, so it should be considered legit? Ha ha.
Be forewarned again, this show can be considered M18. (Even more blood (in red this time!) nudity and some religious references near the end.)
Part One
Part Two
Impressive, and yet disturbing, at the same time. Ha ha.
His blog and website can be found here.
