A multi-media video that's inspired by 90's-fighter-video games, stop motion animation and comic books.

rubberband., directors:  "We had a lot of fun taking outdated processes (everything from 16mm long exposure stop-animation to step printing) and blending them together in a relatively post heavy way. There’s a lot of vfx in the video that you wouldn’t notice outright. We sort of loved the idea of taking what most people would consider laughably old school and bringing it to life with people who are used to working with slick, CG heavy imagery. We just wanted to make something that translated all these influences and references into something original. And we feel pretty good about where we landed.

However long you plan to shoot stop motion, we’d recommend making it longer."
