school run character survival poll!
so here's the thing: when i started working on school run, i had it in mind to keep with zombie flick tradition. that is, to start with a group (in this case, of grade-school kids) and then kill them off one by one in horrible and entertaining ways until the sun sets on (or a rescue chopper comes for, whatever) a lone survivor at the end. and i specifically wanted the protagonists to be kids, because kids vs. zombies is something i haven't seen before. but when i told people about my plans i'd get these shocked reactions--i couldn't possibly do that. how could i do that? apparently you just don't feed kids to bloodthirsty mutant hordes, not even fictional cartoon kids that don't exist. and so i am putting things to a vote. if enough people vote to save the kids they get a reprieve. you won't get to vote for or against individual characters, just how many survive. the poll will be on the sidebar of this blog until the end of june. vote now people, the lives ...
They're all very good. Too bad there's no Darth Maul...

ReplyDeleteStar Wars would not be what it is / was if it were not for him.
@Miko: i don't think he did any conceptual art for the last 3 SW movies. kaya walang Darth Maul...sayang.
yeah, there's something about the painterliness of these images--and the stop-motion/miniature model effects of the original trilogy-- that today's slick cgi just can't touch.
ReplyDelete@dj - yeah, I figured as much. I appreciate the original trilogy even more because of these masterpieces.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't want to sound blasphemous but I'm more of a Darth Maul fan than a Star Wars fan :p
