Live Twitch feed 11-1 PST

  By

Tweet image2

For anyone interested I will be doing the streamy thing again on Twitch tomorrow morning from 11am to 1pm PST where I will continue where I left off last week.
If you’re just joining us I will be finishing up drawing and animating the short scene I started last week using Adobe Animate CC 2015.2
So far…
Two bored teens are sitting on a park bench complaining that nothing cool ever happens to them. Meanwhile an elephant comes and sits on the bench next to them catapulting them into the air and making them swap places. This time there will even be lip syncing involved! Oooooo!
Also for anyone interested in watching last week’s feed of me animating, you can do so by clicking this link…

nicktoons-unknown-facts-25-years-later

 

To ring in the 25th anniversary of Nicktoons “Rugrats,” “Ren & Stimpy” and “Doug, Variety has an article up about several behind-the-scenes tidbits that have gone mostly unknown.

For instance:

The Co-Creator of “Rugrats” Didn’t Like Angelica
Arlene Klasky, co-creator of Klasky-Csupo and “Rugrats,” confessed that she never really liked Angelica, finding her and her signature catchphrase, “You dumb babies!,” “too mean.” She admitted to the New Yorker that the original “Rugrats” creative team struggled to keep the show edgy while also appropriate for children, and that the Angelica conflict was the reason for the team’s breakup.

Rio 2016 – Panasonic Showcase

  By

Panasonic Japan has invited us to create a one minute video with Vinicius for their showcase at the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. The video will be displayed in 4k and 60p on a huge screen, and we really worked on the amazing sports moves, details and scale of the settings to make the spectacle even bigger. Like everything else involving the Mascots, this film is the chance of a lifetime and we can’t thank Panasonic enough for the support and creative freedom.

“The Giant’s Dream- The Making of Iron Giant” teaser trailer

  By

Iron Giant was arguably one of the greatest animated films of all time, yet it fell on it’s feet at the box office due to executive fear and suppression of advertising which is odd since Warner Bros was literally frothing at the mouth to get an animated feature off the ground. Enter Brad Bird who WB execs reportedly allowed to make the film essentially unsupervised and once they saw the film and how good it was they feared for their jobs and suppressed it as best they could.

REALLY looking forward to this film!
