Good Books – Metamorphosis
It is not very often that we have the opportunity to create a graphic equivalent of a drug fueled rant bringing all of our collective skills to bear. And it is almost unfathomable that we could actually do something like this and benefit a good cause.
The Buck team dug deep, channeling our inner gonzo, to direct and produce this homage promoting Good Books, the online bookseller that passes all its profits through to Oxfam. A big thanks to String Theory in NZ for bringing us this script, Antfood for their amazing audio stylings, to Thor for giving his voice and to all the artists who made this something we are proud of.
DISCLAIMER:
What you will see is an entirely fictional and completely unendorsed representation. [Though we humbly suggest [wikipedia]Hunter S Thompson[/wikipedia] might have liked it.] We are devoted fans paying homage. No disrespect is intended.
