Indie films-games and something anything else inbetween! At IndyFilm Oneblaze we try to highlight Indy creative projects.

Many moons ago I saw Interstella5555. Actually before I saw the whole movie I saw pieces of this film on Cartoon network and wondered what the hell was this animation and how I have not seen it before. This movie was a big thank you from one of my favorite groups Daft Punk to their childhood love of anime something that may have influenced some of their music. Beyond the reasoning and going back to the animated music video which spanned a hour. This was a flavor of love from the start to the finish I won’t ruin anything for you in terms of spoilers. Lets just say it has many downer moments but keeps you right in the drivers seat at all times.If you love DaftPunk and space opera anime you will love this. As a side not when I was searching for the anime on dvd it was almost impossible to find as there was some doubt that it would be well received here but fortunately it was released and I was able to snag this awesome collection.

I was totally stumped by this animation and the sheer quality but then again this was done by Titmouse Studio which created MotorCity along with the work they put into the Black Dynamite animated series, with that in mind you can never quite doubt the development team. Everything seems to work just perfectly for this animation, mind you I have not seen the 3d version of Turbo and yet after seeing this version I would rather seen this as a feature length production due to the stylistic choices an decisions. The colors are vibrant the animation is smooth, fluid and contains a surge of energy. There is simply too much to love about this show and note the jokes, character interactions and simple nods to the current culture is amazing. Great Job yet again Titmouse you have proven yet again why you are top dogs. I suspect the 2d animation and maybe a few set designs were created in flash then edited in aftereffect or another such editing application I also see some 3d work but very subtle. That is called using the tools to the utmost degree. In an age where the tools provide the edge I am surprised many are not jumping leap and bounds. Check out Turbo on netflix.
