HUFFINGTON POST interview
huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/31/the-schwarzenegger-trilogy-arnold-schwarzenegger_n_944179.html

The Animations: '5 4 3 2...', 'Galleria' and 'come on... get down' which is a Gangsta rap feat Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger.

The 3 short animations all hand-drawn 1600 frames cell animation with Highlighters used for color, it was hell to make but we love the final videos!

The first video '5 4 3 2...' is a series of continuous Hollywood explosions edited into a simple beat.

The second 'Galleria' is a cut from Terminator 2 which is one of my favorite scenes from any movie.

The third 'come on... get down' is a original gangsta rap with lyrics provided by Arnold himself and arrangement by Harry McGowan


The short films premiered at the Standard Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles as part of Cine-Shorts which is a bi-monthly series that aims to provide a platform for local directors + aspiring filmakers making their mark in the city of los angeles.


Animation assistance by: Leslie Lee, Samir Evol Arghandwall
"5,4,3,2..." Edited by: Aaron Morris aaronchair.com
'Come on... get down' Arranged by: Harry McGowan

    amazing!!! loved the second one.
  • Brainbow plus 6 months ago
    Thanks! It's a homage to one of my favorite Arnold scenes. I feel so bad for the guy with the soda he should have listened to the only line Arnold had in that whole scene and got down!

    Thanks for the feedback. We thought about separating them but we loved the idea that we could present them as a trilogy united by a style of animation and inspired by a singular actor. One film with three distinct parts.

  • Brainbow plus 6 months ago
    Holy Moly all these plays, likes, comments and embeds are amazing!
    It's been awhile since we have done a project for ourselves, meaning 'no client' so it's just great to have people loving these films as much as we do!
    Cheers,
    Harry
