Style
Paper Rad calls its style "Dogman 99", a play on the Danish filmmaking movement Dogme 95. According to one of its project websites, the rules of Dogman 99 are: "No Wacom tablet, no scanning, pure RGB colors only, only fake tweening, and as many alpha tricks as possible."
Paper Rad's visual projects often employ bright fluorescent palettes juxtaposed with primary colors to create a distinctive "lo-fi" look. It adopts a variety of techniques and elements to achieve this look, including pop art, collage, punk art, as well as imagery from popular culture.
Its multimedia projects often incorporate MIDI audio, poor recordings of original sound effects and voices, pixelization, and other crude audio and visual components.
Paper Rad often recycles or appropriates obscure sounds and images from a variety of sources, including: old cartoons, commercials, and late-night television.

“I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one.
