Last year Media Design student Kenny Smith won a competition to make a trailer for the 24Hour Movie Marathon. Subsequently he was also asked to create the 48 Hour Film competition promo.
Inspiration for the animation came from old juvenile delinquent films, especially Rumble Fish and the Warriors. The visual aesthetic is a combination of analog and digital distortion – everything you don’t want to happen when you are making a film in 48 hours.
