TIE FIGHTER - An Animated Short Film by Paul Johnson (think Star Wars in Japanese Anime)
"What if there was an Empire-focussed short Star Wars animation, drawn with the crazy detail and shading of classic 80s anime that's all but vanished from Japan nowadays? Well, I tried my best. Apologies in advance for not living up to Venus Wars standards.
Drawn and animated by yours truly over 4 years' worth of weekends, with music by the living guitar solo Zak Rahman and sound design by up and coming audio technician Joseph Leyva. Fans of Lucasarts' seminal 1994 TIE Fighter game may notice a few familiar sights and sounds. That “incoming missile” noise gives me horrible flashbacks to this day..." - sharedPaul Johnson.
If you recognized this animation, tis because you saw a 2-minute version of it posted in 2012! Now we see the finished 7+minutes long version in all it's anime-esque glory! Check out the poster image Mr Johnson's made, and as well check his DeviantART for more images … I don't know about you folks, but I'd pay cashmoney to see a full-length feature~!
"Special thanks to the good folk at Lucasfilm for encouraging people to get creative and make these kind of projects. It's thanks to their extremely fan-friendly nature that we can enjoy IMPS: The Relentless, TROOPS, etc.
Don't support me on Patreon, because I don't have one! And don't donate to my Kickstarter, because I don't have one of those either. Instead, if you enjoyed this, give someone at your workplace, uni, school or whatever a random bar of chocolate or can or Coke or something. Seriously, it'll probably make their day. That would totally make my day." - added Paul Johnson (Twitter @OtaKing77077)
