ELA

Co-director Fernando Sarmiento descibes ELA in Love at First Byte to me as, “A weird mix between She Ra, Tron and Flash Gordon.” It also happens to be a fun and graphically appealing piece of computer animation combined with live actors. It was produced by the Argentinian motion graphic studio PepperMelon. Check it out:

Did anyone notice the references to Thundercats and The Neverending Story? There may have been a few other references too I might not have noticed…

That was kinda neat. I like the 3D ‘Tron’ like graphics, and the nods to Filmation. Particularly, the ‘Lou Schimer, Norm Prescott’ wheel.

Wow. That’s damn cool. Funny how the film is so heavily influenced by very recognizable sources, and yet comes across as very unique and original!

A lot of great attention to detail; I especially loved the music and sound effects.

Also a reference to Taarna flying over the desert and in the temple from Heavy Metal.

So, what’s with the square belly?

Any homage to Filmation automatically must cost at least twenty-seven times what a genuine Filmation product would. It’s a law of nature.

Skin-tight white panties on a ample bottom? Trumps animation. I don’t even remember what I just watched - but it’s good.

Did Cartman just say sh*tballs to the principal?

Ok that was cool. I also liked the references to Space Invaders and Super Mario Bros… ahhh, all things ’80s. Very creative.

Everyone agrees this is great, and everyone cites the oh-so-clever pop culture references. Am I the only one not in on the joke?

Someone’s gotta say it: The Emperor’s got no clothes.
