fuggy fuggy and the brothers mcleod
No, not another Japanese post, just some nicely pitched ninja animation.
I was immediately taken by the combination of ‘analogue’ background with simple computer graphics over the top. No, wait a minute, those computer graphics look quite analogue too…
Here are some skillls sorry, stills from the fuggy fuggy movie
Simple concept (different aspects of a young ninja’s training); simple style; simple colour pallette; all off set by a nice gentle sense of humour.
Anyway, in posting these stills I was wondering how to approach the whole copyright/credits thing, but then I remembered the fuggyfuggy home page:
After watching the movie I can get some desktop art, download to my mobile and then signup for the newsletter…
Maybe the intention with a site like this is to play off the whole viral marketing thing. I mean, that’s how I came across the thing in the first place, right?
I’m not being cynical, I just think it’s a neat little package and done well: something to bear in mind for the future perhaps?
Anyway, I ended up at the creators’ website www.brothersmcleod.co.uk/ and if I wan’t supposed to be doing other stuff right now I’d probably have a good ol’ dig around…
