Based loosely on the plot of the classic NES game Dragon Warrior 1 (but set in part 4? for a split second) this is a short film about tube socks tasked to slay a dragon, played by some guy's illustrated arm in a larger tube sock. Perhaps the most brilliant thing about the whole production is that the socks can't stand still. Why? Because all of the sprites in Dragon Warrior had exactly 2 frames of continous animation, everyone looked like they were perpetually jogging or dancing in place. There's also a funny Zelda shout out in there. Joke GET!
The Machinegun Opera was created by Persona, a serial artist who's work reminds me of a gamer Don Herzfeldt. You can arrive late to the party with me at http://persona.mechafetus.com
