Pop down to Specsavers...


...and get shot or possibly bummed, by the look of it. This is a selection of frames from an animatic for Specsavers, believe it or not. The creatives were very nice people who were clearly Robert Rodriguez fans, as the brief was to give the whole thing a look of the then-current Sin City (this was late 2005) - a film I have only guarded admiration for, despite my love of comics. Naturally enough, by the time the idea hit TV, it had become so watered down that any gritty or "dangerous" references were predictably absent. Still - it was nice to do a job that at least had the potential to be really dramatic and different.
