Congratulations to the cast and crew of Cutting Edge Animation’s #CaptainZero on their FIRST ever NAACP Image Awards nomination for Outstanding Short Form (Animated)! #NAACPImageAwards
all around a great watch worth whatever the asking price is to watch this. did i mention the animation is top notch?? phenomenal. you will enjoy the watch through
then we get act 3 whew. the depth’s of act 3 need to be studied. it’s very personal how the entire world drowns out (literally and figuratively) and we’re left with just xerxes. powerful ending
now for the story pieces. a great pacing for 14 minutes is astounding. we are taken through 3 acts, and each has different messages to send. act 1 and set up the fall out of act 3. act 2 has the most action while act 1 sets up act 2 with plenty of dialog to let you know how new troy behaves
before i get to the story the humor. oh there was so many jokes and well placed comedy. the funniest part easily was the social media post after the fight. nah they were going in on buddy 😭😭😭 another strong point is conversation. the conversations never felt contrived, they felt natural
if you have not had a chance to watch this masterpiece, please do yourself a favor. this is animation done with care and dedication. clean fight scenes, intentional body movements, the chest palpitations, the caving in of the chest, THE SHOES 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and this is even more than just the animation

I re-cut this scene to EXPLICITLY add this joke because I wanted to make sure the scene that follows this wouldn’t be be misconstrued as being “pro-cop” Superhero media often glorifies cop/hero relationships & I wanted to show how that dynamic would be different if the heroes were Black
