I’m late to the punch with this one and by now, just about everyone who wanted to see this trailer has seen it. But maybe you, in particular, have not. Truthfully, I don’t know much about this flick nor have I ever heard of its director, Ben Hibon. A quick look at the website for production company, Stateless Films, shows off a particularly talented hand for cell shaded animation ranging from advertisements to video games but a couple of gems stick out. There’s not much to go on at the website and the trailer, apart from it’s beautiful stylized character design and animation, doesn’t show much. Stateless’ site lists this as a teaser trailer, maybe hinting that there’s an entire feature coming soon. Looks nice, doesn’t it?
If A.D. tickles your fancy, then you’ll want to see Ben Hibon’s short film, Code Hunters (below). It looks like a collision of Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl, Gorillaz) and Yasuhiro Nightow (Trigun). Absolutely gorgeous animation!
