Being a fan of Adam and Joe I thought I'd chance my arm in their Video Wars competition. Incredibly, out of 143 entries, I was one of four runners up!
The judges were Adam, Joe and the film director Garth Jennings. Here are their lovely comments...
Adam: Once I’d got over a few vanity issues (I am NOT a furious gnome! Am I...?) I was very impressed by this. Great details (nice Dune reference!) and certainly one of the best pieces of animation we saw. Excellent work Mr Edwards.
Joe: This one is fantastic. A very inventive interpretation of the song. Bill is clearly a very talented illustrator and animator with a touch of the brilliance of Ronald Searle. I can't speculate on how accurate a depiction of Adam's life during the first round of Song Wars this is, but I'd imagine it's about right. I found the newspaper headline reading 'Cornish is best human ever' a particularly clever and perceptive touch.
Garth: This animation is terrific. Having known Adam for many years now I can say he has been captured perfectly in this animation. |
