Wildseed Studios and Tricon Kids & Family to co-produce new animated comedy series Counterfeit Cat for Disney XD EMEA and Teletoon Canada
Wildseed Studios and Tricon Kids & Family to co-produce new animated comedy series Counterfeit Cat for Disney XD EMEA and Teletoon Canada
Bristol, UK / Toronto, Canada – April 2015: Wildseed Studios and Tricon Kids & Family announce they are co-producing a new animated TV comedy series Counterfeit Cat (26×30′, 52×11′, plus 11 x 2′ shorts), targeted to 6-12 year-olds for Disney XD EMEA and Teletoon Canada. The UK-Canada co-production is starting production at Wildseed’s newly launched Bristol studio which will also handle the shorts and pre-production. Tricon International will handle global distribution across all platforms.
Counterfeit Cat stars Marc Wootton, the English character comedian who provides the voice for Counterfeit Cat “Maxâ€, and Kayvan Novak, the British–Iranian actor and comedian best known for co-creating and starring in the comedy series Fonejacker, who provides the voice for “Bettyâ€.
The show’s executive producers are Miles Bullough and Jesse Cleverly for Wildseed Studios, and Andrea Gorfolova, Jon Rutherford and Frank Saperstein for Tricon.  Creative producers are Sarah Mattingley (Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja) and Ashley Rite with Heidi Madsen and Christine Davis line producing for Wildseed and Tricon. The series is story edited by Reid Harrison (The Simpson’s), storyboard supervised by Celine Gobinet (The Amazing World of Gumball) and directed by Ben Marsaud (The Amazing World of Gumball.)
Counterfeit Cat is the story of Gark, a naive 9 year old alien with uncontrollable superpowers and destined to save the universe and Max, an anxious but vain housecat who’d prefer to save himself. Sent for training off-world, Gark mistakes Max for a tiger who can teach him to be a hero so he can fulfil the ancient prophecy and save the universe. The problem is Max doesn’t know much about being brave: he knows about watching TV, knitting and coughing up fur balls.  But Gark’s adventurous instincts force Max, albeit reluctantly, to act like the tiger Gark believes him to be.
Wildseed Studios’ Creative Head Jesse Cleverly said: “We’re proud to be working in partnership with Tricon on this entertaining and comical new animation which will capture hearts, minds and funny bones of all ages around the globe. Counterfeit Cat draws on some fantastic production talent around the world and demonstrates our dedication to providing audiences with fresh, original content.â€
“Tricon is thrilled to be in partnership with Wildseed Studios on our first original animated co-production for Disney EMEA and Teletoon.  The creative team that has been assembled is top notch.  Counterfeit Cat is an outrageously funny and witty character driven comedy that is sure to appeal to global audiences of all ages, for many years to come,†said Frank Saperstein, Executive Vice President, Tricon Kids Family & Animation.

Software: Paint Storm Studio
Paintstorm Studio is an impressive new piece of digital painting software, or at least it’s new to me!
It has many customizable features and seems to have an interface similar to Corel Painter which means that it takes a bit of getting used to when you first open it because there’s SO many options. Thankfully there are a number of tutorials on the Paintstorm to guide you through the learning curve.
After playing with it a few minutes I found that while it’s a VERY cool tool, in order to use it you’d need to take some time learning the interface a bit more but I’m pretty confident with a little practice it could be a worthy asset in my digital toolbox.
Paintstorm Pro is available as a trial download and for purchase at $19 for PC but a supposedly a Mac version is coming.
