Desert chrome, speedlines, ninjas, saturday morning cartoons, it was all there. The blueprint for his career, scrawled onto yellowing paper with a startling degree of skill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-v-b402eb9f><!--[--><\/p>\n<div>\n<h2><span>\/\u00a0<\/span>ORIGIN STORY<\/h2>\n<h3><span>Wes Original Comic<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><span>\/\u00a0<\/span>Wes&#8217;s Comic<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div><!--[--><\/p>\n<figure><img alt=\"A hand-drawn comic book cover titled &quot;Super Turbo Atomic Ninja Rabbit.&quot; A dynamic rabbit character is in a ninja outfit, holding nunchucks and leaping forward with energetic background lines.

Alongside Wes we had three of the best animators in the business, our long time collaborators, Johnathan Djob Nkono, Peter Dodd, Matt Timms, and Duncan Gist. The team went to great lengths to be as true as possible to the the kind of animation we knew and loved from 90\u2019s cartoon intros such as Thundercats, Samurai Pizza Cats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Usagi Yojimbo, and Flying Hat Turbo Adventure&#8230;pretty much anything with a really long title.<\/p>\n<p>The rare but highly skilled role of the 2d animation cleanup artist was a vital component getting look right for Ninja Rabbit. We turned to Denise Dean, a veteran cleanup artist, who immediately nailed the look of the linework, and executed it deftly throughout the short.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--&gt;<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n\n<h2><span>\/\u00a0<\/span>BG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span>Background Paint<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>--><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--[--><\/p>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1144\"><!--&gt;<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"442\">--><\/figure>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"645\" height=\"1034\"><!--&gt;<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"909\" height=\"967\">--><\/figure>\n<p><!--]--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div><video playsinline muted autoplay loop><\/video><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Compositing<\/h3>\n<p>Compositing was left in the capable hands of The Line\u2019s Max Taylor, who brought an eye for detail to the production that matched that of its creator. Studying and imitating the marvellous imperfections of cel-colouring, and in-camera effects, Max was able to create two different versions of the film &#8211; a clean \u2018celluloid\u2019 version, as well as a slightly ropey video transfer, using real analogue equipment to generate a product that was indistinguishable from any bygone cartoon you may have recorded onto VHS in the 90s.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--&gt;<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>--><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><!--[--><\/p>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"852\" height=\"640\"><!--&gt;<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"852\" height=\"640\">--><\/figure>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"852\"><!--&gt;<\/figure>\n\n]--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div><video playsinline muted autoplay loop><\/video><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Super Turbo Atomic *MEGA* Rabbit<\/h3>\n<p>When Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was released in 1987 it caused an uproar in the UK censoring bodies. The name &#8220;Ninja&#8221; was considered to have excessive violent connotations for a childrens program and had to be replaced with &#8220;Hero&#8221;. They also had to remove all references to nunchukas in the show, one of the signature weapons of the Michelangelo character. Wesley wanted to reflect this in STANR. Wyatt, the frog character has a pair of Nunchukas in the final version of the animation but in the VHS copy we replaced this shot with one of him pressing some buttons on a computer and scratching his head. &#8220;Super Turbo Atomic MEGA Rabbit&#8221; is most likely the version that would have been aired in the UK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--&gt;<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n\n<div>[--><\/p>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"983\" height=\"665\"><\/figure>\n<p><button><!--[--><!--]--><\/button><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>24fps<\/div>\n<p><span><\/span> 01:54<\/p>\n<p>THE LINE \u00a9 MMXXVI<\/p>\n<div>Play<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><video playsinline controls autoplay><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span><\/span><!--]--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div><video playsinline muted autoplay loop><\/video><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>The VR Experience<\/h3>\n<p>Halfway through production process we teamed up with the astoundingly talented team at NoGhost. NoGhost were into the world of STANR from the outset and began testing the idea of building a virtual reality experience around the film. We had no idea what to expect from them but the day they invited us over to see the prototype we knew it was something very special. We had played VR games before and they&#8217;d only ever made us feel sick or confused. This experience was a million miles removed from that. As we began demoing and testing the game in the office, we got to see the immersive power of what they had created up close. The experience will be available to view online shortly from NoGhost website, keep an eye out. You remember what VR was like in the 90s? Basically it&#8217;s nothing like that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--&gt;<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>[--><\/p>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"2050\" height=\"1092\"><\/figure>\n<p><!--]--><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure><img alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\"><\/figure>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Super Turbo Atomic Ninja Rabbit Art Book<\/h3>\n<p>The PDF contains 108 pages of animation sequences, storyboards, character designs, model sheets, sketches and background art.
