A live action short film for Monkey Bee - the first single from Journey to the West
Created and directed by Jamie Hewlett, Monkey Bee is a mixture of Chinese 1970's spaghetti western, meets Korean horror movie, meets much beloved 1980's Monkey tv series...
Fans of Hewlett's numerous Gorillaz videos should enjoy his first live action outing. Conjuring up images of legendary battles and adversity, we find Monkey trying to cross the volcano fields of Princess Iron Fan. Monkey needs her magic fan in order to cool the hot molten fields but the Princess refuses and an epic battle ensues, throwing first trained assassins and then a colossal army of volcano soldiers his way in a desperate attempt to thwart his journey.
The film was shot in London on 35mm film, using members of the Journey to the West cast. A team of modellers, animators, compositors and vfx artists have since worked for 8 weeks to put all the live action and special effects together and deliver the first Monkey film.
