Strut Trailer Storyboard Kristian Thompson 2013

Walking is the most natural thing. As animals we tend to group together, herd... conform. That’s what makes this trend such an an interesting phenomenon - it turns all these notions on their heads.

Alright kids welcome to strut 101.. Now I know you think your parents all taught you how to walk but let me tell you..

Johnny Channel!!Who inspires you to strut?

“What kind of strutter am I? Oh I dunno, I love it but I’m definitely not one of those full time diva types (gestures towards friend) I guess I’m a social-strutter. I can work it anywhere, but there’s times I don’t want the attention, and it doesn’t always go down well at work -

“..work? Girl please! Nobody got fired for a walk! They should pay you double. Me - how I move is....how I live my life.

When I make a cup of coffee I’m working it for the kettle! It’s how I feel, it’s how I want to feel. Who wants to go through life as a ‘bot’?

“Bots? Nah bro - never - but we ain’t no posies either. I know what they say, ‘schleps’, ‘droops’ whatevs.. Pre-tenders. Get a life - these fools spend all this energy on making you look, but at what? They’re like books with no pages! Don’t havta front when what’s inside is correct. I am what I am and.. if you can’t see through all that fake shit ain’t got time for you nohow.”

Johnny Channel!!

Yes, I am Johnny Channel..

“If I see one more of these poncy little twits....doing their little poof dance all over the bloody show while the world goes to hell I’ll bloody shoot the little moron. With a gun. And a bullet.

..it’s like all of a sudden I could see the boxes everyone was trapped within. This is freedom, power - it’s strut life. It shows people that they can be who they want to be, do what they want to do.. and a lot of people just hate that..

....Johnny Channel?

In the head. I’ll shoot every one of the prancing little gits!”
