''Broken Saints'' (2001-2003) is an [[WebAnimation original web animation series]] in twenty-four chapters. It was created over the course of two years by writer Brooke Burgess, artist Andrew West, and programmer[=/=]Flash wiz Ian Kirby, featuring music composed by Burgess' cousin Tobias Tinker. The format is a hybrid of comic and animation formats, and is referred to by Burgess frequently as "cinematic literature". As in comics, characters remain mostly in static poses and dialogue is depicted in speech balloons, but there are a number of times when movement is used within 'panels', and the series frequently uses background music and sound effects to add to the overall cinematic effect.
The story focuses on four strangers from "the quiet corners of the globe", each from a wildly-different background and worldview than the others, who all receive similar traumatizing visions of impending doom and are drawn to the same place in search of answers. Along the way, they face their inner demons and learn about ThePowerOfLove.
