    Studio 4°C Appreciation Thread

    Studio 4°C, has got to be one of the, if no THE best animation studio in the world. Hell they can go from little kiddy looking things, to 3D, to totally over the top vivid colors, to serious realistic styles.

    If I ever have the cash to do an animated feature, these would be the guys Id hire.

    Heres a bunch of youtubes of their animated shorts.

    Kung Fu Love - love story, CRAZY fights, and INSANE colors. OH GOD THE COLORS.

    Global Astroliner - Goddamn I friggin' love this one. Ive always loved the huge hulking gorilla man/short spunky female team up duo.

    Punch 1 - Eh, kinda boring, but teaches you some trippy stuff about our planet.

    Punch 2 - This ones really weird, but its alright. Girl form another dimension, or was it all a dream?!

    Punch 3 - This one is ****ing ART man. Little girl trys to save her village back in ye olde Ireland.

    Punch 4 - Some guys in power armor take out some atuomated gun turrets. Really actiony.

    Linken Park-Breaking the Habit - GOD I HATE LINKEN PARK, but they did the music video for them.

    Kanye West-Good Morning - They did this Kayne West video too. They get their hands into all kinds of things.

      If none of you have seen their short film, Magnetic Rose, you should. It's easily their magnum opus.

        Except for the fact that I like everything except the animation.

          Global Astroliner is probably my favorite link up there. The Jet Grind Radio/Space Channel 5/Bonnie & Clyde-ness of it just GETS TO ME. But I've yet to see Mind Game or Genius Party.

          If you guys can stomach renting "Gotham Knight" skip straight to "Working Through Pain." They're the only guys who brought their A-game to that collection.

            I tried to look for Mind Game when I was at a-kon in Dallas, but I'm pretty sure they didn't have it.

            AND THEY NEVER WILL

              Nope, Studio 4C has an awful track record when it comes to getting stuff licensed since it's almost all experimental feature-length movies or shorts. Only things they have in America, I think, is the Animatrix short, the Gotham Knights short, Magnetic Rose on the Memories DVD and the TV series Tweeny Witches.

                Alot of the stuff in Global Astroliner looks like Jamie Hewlett was involved somehow, or they borrowed a little of his style. Hell when they flash by the pencil sketches of Lala, some of her faces look damn near EXACTLY like Tankgirl.

                  Guess I'll have to track down Memories and buy that.

                  Magnetic Rose and Stink Bomb were great, the last one (tanktown or some ****) was imaginative but dull.

                  Only things they have in America, I think, is the Animatrix short, the Gotham Knights short, Magnetic Rose on the Memories DVD and the TV series Tweeny Witches.

                        the intro (especially the whimsical and adventurous point of view of the crow flying over this unique looking city) up to black and white kicking the crap out of the two kids was very promising. then the movie turned around and took the first train to boringsville.
