![]() ![]() This guy said he had an exploitation band. We wanted an authentic band to do an original score. I was working at an event for Concordia doing video and I started talking to the guy who was working the soundboard. It’s animated too, so it made more sense.įraser: The other big appeal of the 70s is that blaxploitation movies had the best scores of any movie genre of any era. Neil: I would say the movie was equally-if not more inspired-by blaxploitation poster art than it was inspired by blaxploitation films itself. All the visual information from the movie was inspired by that. We probably went through that a thousand times. We thought it would be cool to do a blaxploitation 70s vibe because it’s this badass story about him beating up these bikers.įraser Munden: Quentin Tarantino had a publication house for a while and he has a book called What It Is…What It Was! It’s composed of blaxploitation posters from the 70s. The story is about Ralph, who was one of the first black teachers in the Montreal English School Board. Neil: Fraser and I are big fans of exploitation films and 70s B movies. The story takes place in the 70s, and judging from the number of 70s posters you bought for our old apartment, I can tell you are a big fan of that era. We could do that, but for some reason we were just doing it on our own. ![]() ![]() We were like cavemen in a cave inventing a wheel when there are people driving around in Porsches. ![]() We had absolutely no animation experience. I was spending entire days drawing and doing 20 frames, and with ten frames a second, it’s only two seconds. Neil: You saw when we were living together the amount of time that goes into that shit. There are a bunch of different animation styles for the film, but it’s mostly hand-drawn and hand-colored drawings. It’s something that we can both do and be consistent, and you wouldn’t necessarily be able to look at it and say, “This person drew this, this person drew that.” In video class we’d pass drawings back and forth and make each other laugh. Neil: It’s a hybrid of my drawing style and Fraser’s drawing style. He was just crying with laughter and I was like, Who is this fucking kid? I guess he thought this was funny, so we started sitting together in video class.īetween your previous film, Vaseline and Pepper, and The Chaperone, you guys have managed to develop and maintain a consistent and very distinct hand-drawn style. And I just went “uggh” and Fraser started dying with laughter. There were slow moving shots that came close to these wrinkled bodies moving in the water. We were watching a slow artistic video about old people doing water aerobics in a pool. Neil Rathbone: Fraser and I met in video class. Hoping to have a better idea of timeline during the next week or so.I met with Neil and his partner, Fraser Munden, to talk about the film, blaxploitation, their experience at TIFF, and David Arquette’s obsession with their puppets. I will be doing some BBW comics under the name "Otto Maddox" for them, but to find the continuations of the old series, you'll have to hang on for the new site. While the old site I worked for retains the old archived comics, my new comics as of July 2011, will no longer be featured on their site. I will also be posting some new series clips in my gallery here soon.įor those wondering, the following series will be carried on the new site:įree of old constraints, I'm hoping to revitalize some of the old comics as well in time. I am hoping to get some samples and tour pages up on the new domain shortly. Well, just wanted to let everyone who follows my work know about it. Same great JAG27 with the same great comic series but on a better designed site for half the price. I'll be updating a new comic a week as always. After a few months when I get my content built up a bit and a decent library going, the final price on the site will be $20 with $15 rebills. Initially it will be only $10 with no rebill option. The site is still in BETA testing, as it will of course be a pay site, but for those of you who follow my work and have been deterred from the old site I worked for because of the ridiculously high price.you will be happy to know the new site price will be way cheaper. HTTP://[Eyeronik Comics will be the site hosting all new JAG27 comics. JAG27-2012 comics will be hosted on the following site: ![]()
