Shooting Stars

by Régis on August 15, 2009 at 21:20

“Shooting Stars” is the name of an idea I’ve been developing for years now. Long before any of my short films or comics actually – I was much more immature then, but maybe that’s a good thing. Now before anyone says anything, I’ll just say that this idea came before “Gurren Lagann” and “Oneechanbara” – if these names mean nothing to you, then great, if not, well take my word for it.

Let me break it down to you: “Shooting Stars” is really supposed to be a parody of all the super sentai shows I watched as a kid (Changeman, Flashman, Jaspion, Jiraya), Silverhawks and Thundercats, and of 1980′s Brazilian television kids programming, which is hard for anyone from outside the country to really know what I’m talking about, but just Google the word “Xuxa” or “Paquitas” and you’ll probably get it right away.

Henchmen from "Shooting Stars"

Meet Alain and Charles. In the same vein (no pun intended) as the Shooting Stars themselves, I decided to exaggerate; so if the girls are “hyper-feminine,” these chaps are hyper-masculine. I’ll let you figure out who they are loosely based on by their names, but I think most of you will get the joke. If not, their “Chippendale” get up is enough of a joke, in and of itself. But, these are mere henchmen, so they do have a boss, and he or she will be coming soon too (shhh, it’s a surprise )

More manliness after the jump

It’s been a few months since his passing, and Yoshinori Kanada’s animation still influences me greatly. It’s a pity that I only really found out about his work in the last few years, but it obviously reached my sight and mind many years ago without my full awareness. But I guess art works in this transcendental way in which we tend to experience an artist’s work sometimes vicariously through another, or it just happens to exist in the world sometimes lasting generations, so ingrained in our culture, that it surpasses its original purpose. To many, Kanada’s animation is just that, and I’m very happy to have learned about his work, and I continuously keep searching for it.

Each year around this time I gather all of my work together once again for my yearly pilgrimage to CTN EXPO. This will be my third time going to it, and I’m glad it’s still going strong because with each new convention, I seem to make new friends and I have more fun than the previous year. So hot off the renders, here is my new animation reel, concept art, and storyboard portfolios. Enjoy!
