Please be warned these are a little rude...

​

Part of a series of animations I created for Owen Harris' Comedy Drama 'Holy Flying Circus' about Monty Python's trials and tribulations in making The Life of Brian written by the wonderfully talented (and tall) Tony Roche, produced by Kate Norrish and Polly Leys at Hillbilly Films.

​

The animation all had its inspiration from Terry Gilliam's vast styles he created in the 1970s, baring in mind back then the technology and money was extremely limited (something of the former we had in common for this project).

​

The other sections for the show were 'Gay News', 'Hell', and 'Aliens'.

​

I also created the title sequence which can be found here.
