The Eye-talian Job... (circa: 2000)




Ok, more oldies from my days of 2d anim. at Uni...This was a character that my buddy Boris sketched up for an idea for a feature we were going to propose ( hypathetically as a project ) . The Don...

Boz is a good guy when it comes to drafting and animating character and expression (check my 'Friends' section for his blog) , me?... I'm the sketched hands and color guy...just so you can see who did what. Basically the story was....actually forget that, everytime I come up with a crap idea that I'm gradually moulding into a miracle of motion picture history, I find that someone's already made or making a much better version already. So I'm not gonna jinx it, just incase it rears it's dirty head again one day...I still think it'd be an awesome little film...no doubt Boz will be here soon to protest differently...so a punch to your cock for when you turn up, fugga!...

You can almost hear him talking in a hoarsely voice:

"I never thought you were a bad consiglieri, Tom. I thought Santino was a bad don, rest in peace ..."

Like the hands ;-)

Probably a good idea to not jinx it--I've been through that. Looks good, though. What kind of rating do you suppose would go on the movie?
