Anonymous Content’s PES Descends into THE DEEP with Showtime

[NEWS=”http://www.cgnews.com/wp-content/uploads/deep_goldfish_thumb.jpg”]29541[/NEWS]PES’s latest short film, “The Deep,” has gone live as part of Showtime’s new “Short Stories” Series. PES was commissioned by Showtime to create a standalone piece of entertainment in the tradition of his most popular viral shorts, “Western Spaghetti”, “Game Over”, “Kaboom!”, and “Roof Sex,” all of which have tallied millions of hits online. “PES’s ability to create highly re-watchable original content has helped him to become one of the most successful viral artists of the past decade,” says Dave Morrison, EP/Head of Commercials at Anonymous Content.

Featured alongside PES in the series are Don Hertzfeldt and Cyriak, two artists who also command large online fan bases. The seven short films will air on Showtime, Showtime On Demand, and on mobile devices.

In “The Deep,” metal objects of the past come to life in the depths of the sea. The film is a departure for PES, with a darker and more mysterious tone than in his previous films. In addition, PES mixes layers of visual effects with his stop-motion to achieve the murky atmosphere.
