Sky Pirates
In 1940, a US airship is sent on a top secret mission into the uncharted African interior in order to intercept a Nazi Zeppelin involved in an archeological expedition that could make Hitler’s armies invincible.
Synopsis:
Set in 1940, before the Americans entered WWII. A hotshot circus pilot is recruited by the US government to accompany a top secret mission via airship, into deepest darkest Africa, to intercept a Nazi zeppelin involved in an archeological expedition. What the Nazis are in the process of unearthing would make them completely invincible. But the small team of air commandos is no match for the heavily armed forces that Hitler has sent to secure his prize.

Trailer 3 - Major Jack - in color!11/30/11
Creative Notes:In this trailer I have pushed the boundaries a bit. Although it was all done by hand in about one week, I wanted to show what quality can be achieved by a storyboard artist. There is always a trade-off between speed and efficiency on the one hand and quality and style on the other. In this case I went for the latter.
