synopsis
Retired wrestler and progressive thinker Chad Montreux takes you on a journey of self discovery deep into the human psyche. But it’s a one way ticket, the doors he will open on the way can never be closed again.
short fact
"Violence was the first major narrative animation project I embarked on, an exercise in trying out some ideas and software, whilst having fun. Starting with the audio track from the beginning it gave me a good framework to create something organic and freeform, whilst making sure I kept in tempo with the constant stream of imagery alluded to in the voiceover. The central character of Chad Montreux was one that had plagued my sketchbooks for several years, committing him and his cheery-faced violence to film was an important process of exorcism..."

    Super 2D design style you've got going there. Your Violence vocks. Mr Montreux should be made into a vinyl toy. I would make him fight my pet Dunny (on public transport). Of course my Dunny Darko would kick Chad's ass cause all bunnies are inherently evil - just like fonts.

    Like LEGENDS, great design. More coherent, too. Could have been longer!

    I really liked this short! I think the pace was nice, superb narration (Reminded me of 'The Prisoner') quirky little characters, great stuff!
