This is my homage to growing up with videogames and my final work made while studying at Sydney College of the Arts in 2008.

Production Notes:

The towns name was inspired by the names of the neighboring
suburbs I grew up in, Punchbowl and Bankstown.
Hence, I came up with the name Punchtown.

All the shots were drawn dot by dot in flash and then later
edited in Final Cut. I referenced a whole lot of images from games to get the look
and colour right for each of the segments. There are pop references in there too, some may be dated now but I'll leave it for you to figure out.

The music and SFX were taken directly from my favorite games.
I do not own the rights to the music or SFX and I would like to acknowledge
the following the teams of people, talented artists and developers for doing what they do.
