Monty Python

Beakus is proud to announce our involvement in the production of a new animated feature film 'A Liar's Autobiography: The True Story of Monty Python's Graham Chapman' all about one of the most creative (and messed up) members of Monty Python.

We will be creating about 9 minutes of the feature – 7 of which will be designed and directed by Matthias Hoegg, and a further 2 minutes by guest director Dan Chester.

It's a mouth-watering and mammoth undertaking, and as if this weren't enough the entire film will be in stereoscopic 3D! Truly mind-bending… We'll update on our progress as we go but in the meantime here's much of the crew from our first creative chin-wag:

Oh, and here's a nugget about Mr.Chapman in case you've been dead for the past 40 years…

"Who is Graham Chapman?? Graham Chapman was one of the members of Monty Python. If you don’t know who Monty are then google them, watch some videos then come back here. Chapman played Brian in ‘The Life of Brian’, was Arthur in ‘The Holy Grail’, and widely lauded as the silly one in the group (it was he that suggested a dead parrot would be funnier that other deceased pets). His life was one of contrary faces. He was a manly sportsman and mountaineer, founding member of the dangerous sports society and the very embodiment of an English Gent. He was also an alcoholic homosexual with a ferocious sexual appetite. He was right there in the public eye though at the same time an utter mystery to those around him. Before his death, Chapman recorded his memoirs in an LA recording studio, and this will provide the narration for our film from beyond the grave."
