There\u2019s a lot of lame Second City yucksters out there who\u2019ve watched\u00a0<em>Who\u2019s Line<\/em>\u00a0too many times and have delusions of SNL grandeur. But, when it\u2019s done right? It\u2019s \u201cYes and\u201d perfection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To be upfront, we were somewhat hesitant in featuring\u00a0<em>Christopher Walken\u2019s Coffee Shop<\/em><\/strong>, a short\u00a0with an improvised soundtrack from animator Leah Dubuc. After all, it doesn\u2019t feel like what is traditionally a \u201cShort of Week\u201d film. It\u2019s not story heavy\u2014it\u2019s essentially just a sketch\u2014spur-of-the-moment comedic musings\u00a0combined with imagery. But, screw it! It\u2019s warped sense of humour just made our sleep-deprived minds giggle with delirious laughter.<\/p>\n<p>What starts as an already ridiculous and smirk-inducing premise (Christopher Walken is a barista!) continues to evolve and evolve\u2026and evolve, as it sinks deeper into a rabbit hole of dark hilarity.<\/p>\n<p>This is all complemented by Dubuc\u2019s simple\u2014but kind of perfect\u2014 line art and watercolor backgrounds. Dubuc animated the film using a combination of digital and analog techniques. The line art was created with Adobe Animate and the backgrounds were crafted using the technique of marbling paper, wherein pigment is floated on the surface of water, and then a pre-treated paper is rested on top of it.<\/p>\n<p>Is\u00a0<em>Walken<\/em>\u00a0deep? Is it impeccably polished? No. But, it\u2019s one of the most enjoyable things you\u2019ll view on the internet today, I guarantee it. Plus, you know, it\u2019s FAIR TRADE!<\/p>\n<p>Dubuc is currently hard at work developing an adult animated comedy for women with her creative partner Jamie Jo that\u00a0we hopefully see by\u00a0the end of 2018.<\/p>\n<p><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Christopher Walken&#8217;s Coffee Shop\" \/><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/risky.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/194312144.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Christopher Walken has branched out from his very successful acting career to pursue his true passion, creating artisanal coffee beverages and pastries, but be warned his concoctions have more than just meets the eye.
