Watchmen - Motion comedian debuts

July 20th, 2008 | Category: TV News

Our pals over at Cinematical are understandably excited about the upcoming Watchmen film. There is a bit of fun in it for us by in TV land as well. As part of the Watchmen push, Warner Premiere’s Motion Comics has launched Watchmen - Motion comedian.

As they put it in the press release - “Warner Premiere’s Motion Comics draw on a massive amount of source fabric to bring a visually engaging experience to life through the use of subtle movements, voice-overs, sweeping music scores and stunning comedian book artwork.” If that doesn’t form sense, think of it as a graphic novel treated to the Ken Burns

effect, with bits of animation added in, and a voice by to top it all off. The first episode is available as a free download from iTunes, and well worth a look. So far it seems to be getting great reviews, with the exception of a number of complaints due to the choice of using a male voice for a female character.
