At last, a blog for Coalition of The Willing! I thought it was time to create a central place where everyone's work in progress can be shown. Thanks to all the collaborators for allowing me to show their developing work. This blog is mainly for the purpose of connecting the collaborators, showing work as it progresses and announcing any developments. The blog isn't meant to be the public face of the film. The film's website is currently being developed. So finally, just to say that Coalition Of The Willing is already shaping up into a wonderfully rich and diverse piece of work, an enormous thank you to everyone involved.

World Leaders

After F5 I got a mail from Ben Stein from World Leaders saying that he was interested in Coalition of The Willing and that he'd like to get World Leaders involved. I checked out their work and loved their 2D celframe approach, especially the home darkly humourous stuff.

A couple of months later, I was working up ideas for the 'remembered Sixties' section at the beginning of episode 2, and realised that it would be cool to really send this section up. Why not show a groovy hipster cavorting through a psychedelic environment, blowing away the social values of his parent's world. I immediately thought of World Leaders.



I got on the phone with Ben and Mike and we bashed the ideas around a bit, Milton Glaser turned out to be a mutual influence. Soon enough Mike ran up some amazing keyframes that i fell in love with.



The World Leaders are already into animatic stage and are looking at a November completion date, most probably in time for the first wave of online releases.
