Description:
Death In A Lawless Town is a western film directed by Iain Williamson and produced by Peter Henningsson. I made the introduction animation, production stills and a poster in cooperation with them.
Making of:
Making ‘Death In A Lawless Town’ animation was amazingly fun, especially since it was my first cooperation solely through Internet. That’s what I’m most proud of, how Peter (Henningsson), Iain (Williamson) and I e-mailed each other every 2-3 days, trying to make this project in the best possible way. I think that’s exactly what we achieved, we bridged the geographic distance between Sweden and Serbia thanks to the wonders of contemporary communication.
Fun facts:
Although they sent me all the basic story elements, Peter and Iain also gave me freedom to add some of my ideas into the introduction. The vultures, bullet time shots and the red blood against the blue background are my contribution to the film story-wise.
