A few weeks ago, my friend Anthony Chalmers and myself (Andrew Hankinson) went to see the animated film, Batman: The Killing Joke (see my review of it here). It’s always a pleasure to hear Mark Hamill voicing the Joker (in the TV shows and the Arkham games) but especially brilliant in this adaption of the most popular Batman/Joker graphic novel of all time! There is a monologue in the graphic novel/film where the Joker talks about memory and madness, and it really symbolises what the Joker stands for and is all about! So while I was trying to perfect my impression and memorise the monologue, Anthony and I decided to create a short film based around it. You can see it below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

For behind the scenes such as info, photos and drawings, visit my website's post! I know it's not Kingdom Hearts related but it’d be great if you showed your support/thoughts on it and perhaps shared it just to get it out there. Thanks! It’ll be top post of this Facebook page too: facebook.com/HankinsonAndrew

some great shots in this that opening shot of the door worked very well and the voice over was great one of the best Joker impressions I've heard in a long time loved all the cutaways of all the different little props you had these quick little short films that get filmed in about a day are always great to watch fun to make as well hahaha great job though man

Thanks a lot for the compliments. It took a while to get the impression right. The filming itself took about 2 and a half hours, but the preparation and editing took weeks! We really liked the outcome of our first official short film.

It's always great when you can be proud of your first short film in my case it's a lot of me looking back and kicking myself saying why but always great to see those who can look back fondly man makes me really want to get back to my own filming been far to long since my last proper filming project

Oh no trust me; my friend and I have had some doozies of film projects which we shake our heads at till this date, but they were spontaneous and quickly done. But with this, we planned well in advanced, executed the filming in a logical manner and managed to edit it quickly as we already knew the structure. Definitely worth doing.

Just need to think of the next project!

Duuude, this was awesome!  Your impression of the Joker is spot on, and I loved that monologue!  I could tell you love it too, based on how well you edited out the short film!  It definitely had the tone set for Joker's monologue, so props to you for that!  Great job!

Thanks a lot! Been wanting to do a project based on the Joker for ages and after watching the Killing Joke, I thought this would be a great opportunity.

Wow, maybe they should have you play as the Joker instead.

You're welcome, man!  Oh, and I see!  Well, I have to say, you did a great job!  Who knows?  You could even have the honor of voicing the Joker for a film or show one day!  DC could hire you in a heartbeat!  I bet Mark Hamill would be proud!
