A Lousy Shame

Waaaaaaay back in pre-Russian War in Ukraine, pre-COVID-19 2017, The Blender Foundation released their annual proof-of-concept short, Agent 327: Operation Barbershop, based on Dutch comic strip artist Martin Lodewijk's secret agent, Agent 327.

It was wonderful!

Unlike, many of the other proof-of-concept short the Blender groups present, this one had none of that…smell, that new features showreel smell where the 3D took center stage and precedence over the actual writing or plot. Agent 327: Operation Barbershop was almost four minutes of solid entertainment and certainly deserving of further exploration.

The project died there. No feature-length nor featurette ever came of it like it was discussed at the time of its release. Too bad. Who knows what could have come of it?

Anyway, enjoy Agent 327: Operation Barbershop.
