Foo Fighters Viral Video Epic - by Christian Debney
September 26, 2007
TS: How did you get the project in the first place?
CD: I did a pitch through the production company Draw Pictures and the Sony team loved the idea so they gave me a small budget to get to work.
TS: How did you come up with the idea of the teddy bears and WAR! ?
CD: I love entertainment and the idea of mixing childhood imagery with visions of war seemed to fit the track, the hardest part was animating all the bears, and making each one a character in its own right.
TS: How long did it take you to make the video in the end?
CD: the whole thing took about 3 weeks to make, and then the Sony team sat on it for a week or two while they got their marketing team to put some ideas behind it.
TS: will it be shown on TV?
CD: I’m not sure, it was originally briefed as a viral video and so I’m not sure.
TS: Thank you for sending it in to us Chris and lets hope it leeds to you getting more work, I hear that you are now representing yourself as a director?
CD: Yes that right, I have set myself a new mission - to now look for representation, I still own and run my own animation company “Dirty UK” but I wanted to push my own directing too and so now I am looking for a production company to rep me for music videos, commercials or my biggest dream is to make a feature , I have worked on many including Star Wars Attack of the Clones and V for Vendetta and I have the big screen bug.
TS: What was it like to work with the Hollywood big boys?
CD: Its addictive, so much crew and kit, and anything is possible - I loved working with George Lucas and his team, I made the light sabers and worked in the props department on both films.
TS: Thank you Chris and good look with your directing, please do keep us posted.
