Gotta post somethin'
Hello to all.
Again, I'm sorry for the lack of posts but I've been giving to ol' wrist a bit of a break these days. I feel like I needed a bit of a break and I've been working on a few interesting but visually boring proposals. More of a calm before the storm kind of thing. I just hope the storm isn't months away.
Anyways, I felt like I should post something for those 2 people who keep checking up to see nothing new (you cats know who you are... thanks mom, dad).
This is the pilot episode I did for Doodlez, possibly the best thing I've ever worked on. I was approached by a company in the maritimes here in Canada to come up with an idea to pitch to the local toon station Teletoon. I was leaving for the ritualistic 6 months in Europe so I had a pretty tight deadline and a tiny budget. So I decided to do it myself and use a lot of the cheats inherent to Flash. Me, I think it came out pretty good...
Can you tell that I'm a Chuck Jones fan? Yeah I lifted the idea a little but I truely feel like I made it my own. It took me about 3 weeks and a coffee iv to get this thing done. I have no idea how I pulled it off. The glass shatter alone took me about 3 days. I envy you computer people sometimes.
So that was the pilot and there ended up being 49 more of these little guys. It was a great 2 years of work and I miss it. I fell like I'm taking all the credit though, Campbell MacKinley did the majority of the directing when he took over for season 2 and he did a great job. Also, Duker and Lambey did a great job mimicking and improving on my child-like designs. Because of these guys and the talented animators Doodlez won the Gemini for best animated balh blah 2 years in a row (tv awards in Canada). Good on ya everyone.
Stay cool...
