FOLLOW THE SUN, the name of the freaky Grindhouse-style movie trailer above, was created at MK12’s Kansas City-based animation studio. It concerns a couple of hot dogs, a bag of potato chips, and other assorted snack items as they are besieged by the end times.
FOLLOW THE SUN is an homage and/or affront to a great American tradition: the Intermission Reel. Those who weren’t making out in the back of the family Buick between films at the drive-in will remember them: poorly-spliced, underexposed & overplayed grindhouse reels of sickly green hot dogs, unprovoked pizza-groping, ice cream sundaes with a vomit of pale, lifeless toppings, and perverse sight gags featuring animated snacks in PG-13 scenarios. MK12 interested themselves in this format, and envisioned its slightly darker, but perhaps more-to-the-point, R-rated cousin.
