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 [...]
Uncle Eddie makes me think, Precinct art for sale
This blog post by animation artist Eddie Fitzgerald made me think! Also, I uploaded some Precinct art I did for an exhibition last year to RedBubble so they can be purchased as little greeting cards and nice art prints: I’ve bought a couple things myself so I can see what the quality’s like. I’ll let [...]
The new Precinct project
First, something unrelated: in case you didn’t know, Tony Martin and guest writer Justin Heazlewood both have new writing on The Scrivener’s Fancy, a website which appears to have popped up out of nowhere to make me happy. Good for them! Secret proj I alluded in an earlier post to a “secret project”. There’s not [...]
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 [...]
“The Precinct? Next week.”
The title references my interior monologue when I consider what I should post about. I’ve been putting off talking much about the show because there’s always lots of small developments happening but rarely anything real big and awesome to talk about. You can imagine it’s got to be tougher than ever to get an animated [...]
Cross-platform pizzapie
Like I said a couple posts ago, we’re working on a “cross-platform strategy” for The Precinct. We’ve gotten a little grant from Film Victoria which is paying for us to meet with my friends at Eskimo Productions, throw around some ideas (i.e. the choose-your-own-adventure stuff I talked about before) and put them down in a [...]
Cop movie reviewhaus
Here are capsule reviews of ten great/terrible/noteworthy cop movies I’ve watched/had on in the background lately, with helpful guides to which Character Actors You Love (But Can’t Name) are in them. Apologies for vagueness, I mostly have these on in the background while I’m working and may have missed some of the awesome (or some [...]
“Nu?” Media
The current Precinct news is that we’re going to be sitting down to create a “cross-platform strategy” for the series — a report on how we’d integrate “new media” elements into the show (a tie-in website? games? stuff you can interact with via your mobile device?). This is going to be very interesting because most [...]
