Banana

Eight years ago my buddy James and I decided to make a stop motion animation. We gathered the appropriate materials, he wrote a script and we spent one sleepless night banging the thing out. Due to poor character construction on my part our protagonist (Banana Guy) was well on his way to decomposition after only the first scene. In light of this we abandoned the script and freestyled it for the remainder of the “film”. That largely explains why nothing of interest happens outside of Banana Guy biting his canine companions face off. I think the bulk of our efforts were spent spinning the dog on a rock and moving eyebrows.

Anyway. I got my hands on the raw footage a little while ago and decided to make something (borderline) watchable from it. I cut it with a mixture of vintage footage from anti-drug PSA’s from the 50′s and 60′s and set it to Tommy Guerrero’s Molotov Telegram.
