The Random Adventures of Brandon Generator

Microsoft launched The Random Adventures of Brandon Generator in 2012, as an HTML5-based four part series of animations showcasing what’s possible on the web without the use of plugins. It’s a film noir-inspired story written by Edgar Wright — the man behind Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Spaced — that follows the story of Brandon Generator, a comic book artist with a terrible case of writer’s block. The artwork comes from illustrator Tommy Lee Edwards, famous for his work on the Batman, Hellboy, and Marvel 1985 comics. Narration comes courtesy of Julian Barratt, one half of The Mighty Boosh. The Soundtrack comes courtesy of the band Unloved (David Holmes, Jade Vincent & Keefus Ciancia).
