looking thru the b-sides released.

Last September I posted the killer trailer for the incredible looking short “Looking Thru The B-Sides”, directed by Saimon Chow and the folks at Golden Lucky. I had kinda forgotten about it, and then now and then I’d come across something from Chow or Golden Lucky and wonder when it was coming out. Good things, like they say, come to those who wait…

This week the full Fuel TV 8-minute short was released. And it’s fucking epic. Stop reading and watch this little stop-motion technotronic skateboard gem right now. I want to live inside Chow’s brain.

Update: I just got an email from Saimon that they’ve had a problem with the YouTube vid and had to take it down. You can watch it on Golden Lucky’s site by clicking here.

fueltv + golden lucky: looking thru the b sides.

I read that people went apeshit when “Looking Thru The B Sides” went up at Pictoplasma NYC. The trailer makes it pretty clear why. Commissioned by Fuel TV, director Saimon Chow at Golden Lucky was given the breifs to thrill and inspire action sports lovers with a visually-crazy short film. Mission accomplished. The result is an 8-minute multi-styled cartoon epic about a skater named Ollie.

Complete with soundtrack by one of my favourite sound designers, the kick ass Simon Pyke at Freeform, if the insanely hype full trailer below isn’t enough for you, then you can also check out the 15 sec teaser here, the 20 sec teaser here, and a totally weird French-puppet promo spot that makes no sense here.

The trailer alone has be fully pumped. The full short isn’t available online yet, so be sure to check out local film fests and animation conferences to see if you can be lucky enough to see it on a big screen.

Vodpod videos no longer available.
