FAST FOOD 2F’s contribution to the august issue of Men’s Health magazine

2008-06-22T07:00:00.003+02:00

THE MAKING OF 2F'S PINGPONG animatics is one of the best kept secrets in the creative world. Until now: illustrator Andrew Selby talked 2F into revealing details of the complex production process. Experts already assumed that the seemingly "clean and simple" artwork is actually based on a wide range of dirty tricks including the use of synthetically generated music, copying from photo-footage and leaving the "real" work to overambitious, underpaid interns (see above). Find out if that’s true in Andrew’s book Animation in process, published January 2009 by Laurence King. The book has been designed by Philip O’Dwyer and it will be accompanied by a DVD.

ASK A FAVOR Illustrations for Emotion magazine. It’s easy to ask for a favor, just follow the six rules: 1. Don’t just ask your friends. Ask your neighbour, your baker, whoever. 2. Choose the right time. 3. Ask personally, do not phone or e-mail. 4. Pay attention to the undertone: was that an enthusiastic or a tentative yes? 5. Make yourself clear, but don’t be a control freak. 6. Don’t say thank you one time. Say thank you three times: first, when someone agrees to help you. Then right after someone helped you. And a third time some time afterwards to show you didn’t forget the favor.

THE PRODUCERS This poster is a giveaway for TV production company eyeworks: a producer and his slave-like assistant present their TV show ideas to network directors. While the assistant actually plays the ideas (eating cockroaches etc) the directors remain uninterested. In the end the assistant gets pissed and damns TV in general. The directors are so impressed by his performance they give him his own show.
