De Pins feels like a movie maker who just happens to be making comics, which is why it makes so much sense that he co-directed the movie, as well. He can lock the camera down and let the characters act, but he can also follow the action through the park or down a street. I wonder if creator Arthurt De Pins draws the book in Illustrator…ĭe Pins has great comedic timing, creating scenes that build up nicely. ![]() It reminds me of some Flash animation from 10 or 15 years ago, but with better coloring. This book is drawn without a single black outline. And that fits in perfectly with the comic that inspires it. It looks like 2D images projected onto 3D models. The “Zombillenium” movie falls somewhere between. I’ve grown to accept the high end CGI stuff, but the low end of that always looks painful. I like the good old fashion 2D pencil-and-ink stretch and squash stuff. ![]() ![]() It’s not the style of animation I prefer, to be honest. “Zombillenium” comes up for review this week because they just released a movie based on the three volume BD series of the same name.
