Creator Manny Galan just finished this awesome music video.
Check it out!
Follow DOOKIE-POO on a classic 8-bit adventure through some of the greatest arcade games of all time as he tries valiantly to rescue his best friend, CHOROCCO TOFU from the malicious GRUMPLE!
Can you name all the arcade classics DOOKIE-POO happens to stumble across? The music is by the up and coming MONTAUK PROJECT.
We asked Manny about his inspiration for this short. Here's what he had to say:
The genesis for this video came from trying to recapture the powerful imagination of youth. An imagination so strong that it could turn the simplest of shapes into a tree, a space ship or even a gang of colorful ghosts. The technological limitations of the time actually provided us with a chance to use our creative resources to flesh out these simplistic, but charming worlds, as they boiled down complicated scenarios like alien invasions, gorilla abductions or even a frog trying to cross the street, into the simplest form possible. The goal was to try and recapture the innocence and nostalgia of the medium and present the simplest morality tale of "GOOD GUY SAVES THE GIRL" in 4 minutes.
The spot was done in Adobe Illustrator and Flash.
Thanks Manny!
Also this piece is dedicated to the memory of Ed Resto, he was a great friend and an amazing artist who we both had the pleasure of working with and is dearly missed.
