Agent 327: Operation Barbershop

This three-minute teaser for a full-length animated feature is based on Dutch artist Martin Lodewijk's classic comics series Agent 327. The Blender Animation Studio is currently developing the story and seeks for funding to bring this adventurous comedy animation film to an international audience.

Entirely made in Blender, released as Creative Commons for Blender Cloud subscribers.

It all started with a cube in the middle

[X-K]

"Yeah, i wanna make something like this"
*Starts Blender*
*Deletes Default Cube*
*Shift+A -> Cube*
"Alright, solid start, now what?"

Notice that the barber, the doctor and the grunts have a vertical scar in the left side of their foreheads, the very same place where the doctor was going to do the "procedure".

You have no idea how much I want this to be a full scale movie. Hes like Johnny English but not completely goofy and he still have some spy elements to his character (improvisation, combat skills, slight technological advancements, etc)

*Even after 3 years this project seems to me like the best one that came out of Blender!* 🤯

"I just wanted a haircut"


Boy, you didn't just get your hair cut.

[SirIkeMedia]

Wow.... I would watch a whole movie on this! Super engaging!

[normietwiceremoved]

I'm actually amazed by the sound design in this. I love the foley.

[gustv.]

The fact that the short ends in 3:27 just blows my mind

[heyyou]

The timestamp 3:27 has the title agent 3:27

im stumped if this was intentional or just good timing.

This literally looks like something Pixar would make as an Incredibles spin-off. The fact that a free software could make something like this is astounding.

[stumftim]

This would take my PC about 200 years to render.

[XanderDoesStuff]

The fact this was made ALL in blender blows my mind

I don't think I've ever wanted to see a short film become a full length feature as much as this one!

[carduusii]

2:02 - best moment! The character does not take an item at the last moment, as usually happens with the main characters, but reacts quickly and takes another one!!! I was surprised by this! XD

The animation is short, but exciting and looks finished. I'm thrilled!

[SimonGFX]

After just 1 minute I felt like I was watching a movie, the sound design, the motion, everything is just so smooth, and I can't even animate a freaking Minecraft Character (I mean, I can, but it's horrible)

[Euca]

I’d literally watch a whole movie about agent 327
