Terminator Fan Flavio Luccisano contacted us to share his new animation project, in which he recreated one of his favorite scenes from The Terminator (1984) – the scene where the T-800 AKA The Terminator (Schwarzenegger) acquires clothing from a group of punks at Griffith Observatory.
Flavio has managed to create an authentic feeling retro anime movie style that definitely left us interested in a full version of the original movie in the medium.
Flavio told TheTerminatorFans.com:
I am a freelance Illustrator from Argentina, and I am an aspiring animator.
Terminator is one of my favorite movies of all time, I never get tired of it, specially the first one. I am a fan of T2 but the first movie is very special for me, I remember when my father showed me the movie for the first time, I was fascinated. I am a fan of cyberpunk in general and some months ago I saw the remastered version of the movie in the cinema again. I mean, it was pretty obvious the Terminator was on the list of movies I would have chosen for this animation project.
This project took me around two months, I am not very accomplished at animation times so it was hard in the beginning. I made the animation in Procreate (which is a drawing/painting app for Ipad), and I did the edit of the animations in Adobe Premiere (video editor software).
I use the original Japanese dubbing audio because It was also part of the aesthetic for the animation; which is very inspired by the 80s anime, especially Akira. Finally, I chose this sequence of the movie because it is so iconic for me and for many people and Terminator fans, I mean, when you see this sequence of the T-800 coming from the future and fighting with these gang members – you automatically need to see the entire movie.
So, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing this, I put a lot of love into it!Thank you very much!

Nice! But really copy/paste from movie original. Perhaps change angle view of anime for better réalisation. Create anime from movie it’s good Idea, but the scène will ne describe by another personnage..like the T-800.
Don’t listen to Maxproducts because his English is broken.
This was awesome!
