3. THE RETURN OF JOHN FRUM
1 year ago
THE RETURN OF JOHN FRUM is the thesis project of christian schlaeffer at the university of applied sciences augsburg, faculty for design, 2010.

John Frum, Messiah of polynesian Cargo Cults, returns as an astronaut and businessman to the postindustrial wasteland of the financial-service-economy. Together with a native, he sets out for a "conquest of the useless" — or something.^-^
then things get confused, and what begins as a journey turns into a trip far off the boundaries of so called "logic" and "meaning".
With a storyline initially based on the prophecies of the seemingly most syncretic, ridiculous and pointless religion in the world — though really not any more syncretic, ridiculous and pointless than any and all other religions — computer-aided handdrawn 2D animation and 2D-3D-hybrid background art celebrate a renaissance of the unconscious, free from the technocratic structuralism of our times.

i'm not so sure yet what's next ...
will work for food, i guess
Love the BGs.
Love the detail.
Love the Chaos.
Thumbs up.
(that was awesome)
i haven't seen this aeon flux before, but now i'll definitely try to watch it...
and the other thing: caffeine in large quantities is what i'm usually on
I know how much persistance it takes to create a story like this. Animation of those guys propably was a hell of a job. And then You've got to do all the full colour backgrounds (particulary I like the great blast furnace the most;]), 3d objects...
And I really like the story of the polynesian messiah comming back;]
Ehh. Enoug of this.
Respect

then: read it again.
seriously.
i didn' study animation, i studied graphic design.
Your work is just amazing, now I'm a big fan of you.
It's good to see something completly different and very well done as it is.. and yes, reminds me AeonFlux.
i have watched some episodes by now, and all of you are right, i see the parallels... btw i like it, it looks like metal hurlant (sadly without the "indecent exposure")... very moebius-esk
and I like the idea, really crazy. not something I see often when I work at an advertising agency:/
kleines zitat zur pointlessness:
"Your mind encountered emptiness behind things, wandering freely and without purpose.
This freedom of choice in its multitude and randomness led to confusion, burnout and exhaustion."
but of course i've seen cat soup and loved it;
lots of surrealism. I loved also the sound, not invasive but intense!
great job my friend!
The sound design in this was amazing too: less is certainly more! Brilliant!
I saw every works of Peter chung ,even Ads, But Morimoto and now you is something different for me.
I'll STARVING for your next work!!!
Please feed me!!!
Good Luck.
Did you work it by cinitique or something like that or...traditional by paper and lightbox?
i use a wacom intuos 3, the one with the ~20cm x ~30cm workspace.
although i draw a lot better on paper than digital, it's a question of time. and i don't really see why one should waste one's time scanning pictures.
You're not a fan of the video's of Tool by any chance ?
I see a similar deconstructive narration ! Love it !
not really, i remember having seen one or the other, but that's about it...
well, actually, my "style" isn't too new either, but than again, it's seen rarely enough to be refreshingly new everytime i guess ^-^
->layer->video layer->new blank video layer
I found this animation on exode.ca.
You just got a new fan!
