The Precinct: Characters pt 1 – Ackersley & Rochman
Now that I’m putting together a new version of The Precinct pitch/bible/thing I thought I’d do something I meant to do years ago on this blog: introduce the characters properly. I’ll try to add them regularly. Here’s today’s! Ackersley is the most dangerous officer at The Precinct: a loose cannon, a renegade. As an undercover [...]
Precinct ep 06: Blam!
I stopped working on the animatic for the John Farnham episode because I’m doing something special this weekend: myself, Adam and two of our Precinct voice-maestros, Thomas Pullar and Adrian Calear, are going to perform a reading of the episode 6 script for a select audience at a secret location. SO MYSTERIOUS We’ll be assisted [...]
Precinct ep 00b: Eras of Ackersley
As with Farnham, in the new Precinct cartoon we’ll be seeing Ackersley at different points from 1986 thru today. I think ’93 Ackersley is my favourite. More animatic done now:
Please go to the Precinct site and try out our Cop Action Survey. We need some info about what [...]Precinct ep. 00b: Eras of Farnham
For the upcoming Precinct animation: obviously “You’re the Voice” Farnham is familiar, but here’s sketches for some later era Farnhams. Click for a larger version. Many of them will appear in this cartoon: basically he’ll be changing costume for every shot. Pain in the arse, as it means more character builds. But we’ll be using [...]
Production begins on The Precinct, episode 00b: “Playing To Win”
YES! So, as I mentioned previously, I’m starting up a new Precinct short animation, the goals of which are: to give viewers a bit more of the story we’re dealing with in the series to reveal a bit more about Det. Ackersley’s personality to show lots more ACTION and fast cutting to shamelessly wallow in [...]
Adam speaks
I asked Dave if I could submit my own blog post for the show, the idea being that I could draw in interested parties that know me, and not Dave, and to introduce my own voice to existing followers as the other creative party at this point. So allow myself to introduce myself. I’m Adam [...]
Anti-Procrasto Week
This week is a big week: it’s ANTI-PROCRASTO WEEK. My workload lightens up a bit this week so I’m setting myself some tasks to take care of, the stuff that gets pushed back when I’m being paid to draw talking penises or animate moustache demons. — 1. Precinct scripts We now have three scripts at [...]
Meet Many More Characters.
I can’t be bothered doing individual posts for each character at the moment, so check out the new character lineup (link opens in a new window) and let’s learn about a few of your soon-to-be-favourite TV cops: BEN MARTINEZ Martinez is a greenhorn who has no idea what The Precinct is, why it exists, and [...]
Six months later…
… he updates his blog again. Since I last posted, I’ve finished a lot of things, notably The Bedroom Philosopher‘s music video. The Happiest Boy was done in September and has aired on Rage and Channel V. See it here. Nakedfella Comics #9 is my brand new 56-page comic book, self-published as always. Launched at [...]
Ackersley vs dead eyes
This is the first in a series of posts describing the characters in The Precinct and their relation to the story of what I’m optimistically calling “The Precinct: Season One”.
Ackersley is the guy you’ve been seeing in the animation tests and most of the sketches I’ve been posting. This is [...]
