Broken Saints (original) (raw)
Broken Saints is a partially Flash-animated horror drama web series by Brooke Burgess, with technical direction from Ian Kirby and artwork by Andrew West. First released online from 2001 to 2003, it is one of the earliest examples of a motion comic. Characters for the most part remain in static poses and dialogue is indicated by speech balloons, but animated sequences are used to switch scenes and help advance the story, while music and sound effects are included.

| dbo:abstract | Broken Saints ist eine mit mehreren Awards ausgezeichnete, komplett in Flash entwickelte und ursprünglich als reine Internet-Serie konzipierte Serie. Die Idee stammt von den drei Kanadiern Brooke Burgess, Ian Kirby und Andrew West. Sie bezeichnen ihr Werk selbst als "cinematic novel", also eine Art Hybrid aus Comic und Animation: wie im Comic gibt es Sprechblasen und die Charaktere sind tendenziell eher in statischen Posen zu sehen. Der Fortlauf der Geschichte wird allerdings nicht in einer Reihe aufeinanderfolgender Bilder angezeigt, sondern mit Hilfe von Animationen und bewegten Szenenübergängen visualisiert. Die Musik wurde von Tobias Tinker und Quentin Grey komponiert und mit klassischen Stücken u. a. von Mozart gemischt. Soundeffekte wurden ebenfalls integriert, um dem Zuschauer ein runderes Erlebnis zu bieten, als es ein Comic zu tun vermag. „BROKEN SAINTS erzählt die Geschichte von vier Fremden, die apokalyptische Visionen haben und gleichzeitig in einer dunklen Stadt stranden. Ihr Schicksal und das Schicksal der Menschheit scheint auf mysteriöse Weise mit einem globalen Satelliten-Netzwerk verbunden zu sein. Es gibt viele dunkle Geheimnisse, die sie enthüllen müssen, um ihre Bestimmung zu erkennen.“ (de) Broken Saints is a partially Flash-animated horror drama web series by Brooke Burgess, with technical direction from Ian Kirby and artwork by Andrew West. First released online from 2001 to 2003, it is one of the earliest examples of a motion comic. Characters for the most part remain in static poses and dialogue is indicated by speech balloons, but animated sequences are used to switch scenes and help advance the story, while music and sound effects are included. It tells the story of four strangers in different regions of the world – Shandala from Fiji; Raimi from the United States; Oran from Iraq; and Kamimura from Japan – all of whom suddenly experience an apocalyptic vision or series of apocalyptic visions. All four set out to uncover the origin and/or meaning behind their experiences. After its online release was concluded in 2003, the series was released as a limited-edition DVD in 2005, featuring voice narration, upgraded artwork for the first 12 episodes, some alternate technical effects for those episodes and subsequent ones, and numerous special features. A subsequent mass-market DVD release was distributed in 2006 by 20th Century Fox. It is the same as the first release, but features upgraded artwork for the first 13 episodes (compared to only the first 12 on the previous DVD release), as well as the alternate technical effects, and many more special features, including audio commentary for every episode. While Broken Saints was met with unanimous critical acclaim, it has remained relatively obscure since its initial release. Its word-of-mouth reverence from fans and subsequent popularity on Newgrounds has led the series to develop a cult following. (en) |
