Shaky White Guys Making Friends

One day, Barcelona-based Swedish filmmaker Erik Eliason received a 38 pistol, designed to fire SOS-rockets from boats, and a box of 9mm blanks. The weapon made him curious about the mixing of real gunfire and smoke with rotoscoped actions. "Would the effect be as cool as I thought?" We thought so.

This slick, hallucinogenic short featuring angry figure-drawings, bloody gunshots, and a hip soundtrack came together after Eliason played around with After Effects and Photoshop. "I had ideas I was burning to realize before I got my first computer," says the self-taught filmmaker. "Most of my tech-knowledge is earned by self-studying softwares and finding solutions to mirror my ideas."

But what does it all mean? "Enjoy the visual trip," he says.
