Woodman 2 is about a popular BBS site Bahamut. In this film, Woodman and his partner have to defeat a lot of boring guys who attack their favorite board KUSO. If you are not a BBS user or familiar with young people’s internet culture, you might be quite confused after seeing this animation. However, using these unique BBS culture as an animation element is the most attractive point to now youngsters, and that is exactly what Hero wants to do.
In fact, his goal is to present an interesting BBS culture they called “KUSO” which means a kind of wacky humor. For instance, there are some articles and jokes associating our Founding Father Sun Yat-sen with kung fu. They said Sun Yat-sen is actually a powerful kung fu master and always beat down his opponents with his fists. All his theories actually are some books about his mighty kung fu. Using these funny stories as sources, Hero created woodman’s partner The Invincible Iron-fist Sun Yat-sen. Its model is composed by a famous robot Mazinger Z and a ten dollar coin which has a head embossment of Sun Yat-sen.
On the other side, Woodman 3 absolutely has nothing to do with BBS culture. This time woodman’ mission is to fight with the computer bugs caused by rendering error. It has a very cool visual effect by compositing virtual animation characters with real backgrounds, and this time its story is more easily to understand by audiences – includes juries of animation competitions. As a result, Woodman 3 has won over 10 awards and nominated almost every competition participated in Taiwan.
Now Hero is making his new film Woodman 4. He gathers a group of animation experts like KD and Sheep Wu to help him accomplish this animation .In his anticipation, Woodman 4 will be raised to a movie level, and he hope it can be a milestone in Taiwan’s animation field. Without any unexpected problems, we’ll able to see this film within a month. Let’s expect it!
