The Remnants of Joona

| No Comments
I came across a few images from the Remnants of Joona on the great Sci-Fi-O-Rama blog, and thought that maybe it was something from a day-by-day calendar. I was quite wrong.

The Remnants of Joona is a short film, apparently performed with a live electronic accompaniment ala the old silent flicks with the organ playing along. The film is comprised of several line drawings on muted, colored backgrounds with very basic animation to spice up the scene.

The video follows a team of interplanetary scientist as they explore the planet Joona, and discover the strange species that live there. It has a very hard-sf feel with the technical-style drawings and the focus on flora and fauna, but the art also has a kind of whimsical surreal quality to it.

I find the overall effect very pleasing. It actually reminds me a lot of the weird indie sf comics from the late 1980s, which I've always been mysteriously drawn to.

Playlist is here, individual episodes embedded below. I highly recommend watching the playlist on a large sized player, since you have to do a fair amount of reading.
