Take me to the pilot
Happy new year! Happy Oshtraya Day! I realised I’ve been lucky enough to work on a lot of animated TV pilots lately, so I thought I’d write a bit about how they’ve worked and what happened with them. When I don’t name names it’s because the work isn’t out in public yet and confidentiality applies. [...]
MIPCOM: wrap up, fun stuff
First of all, thanks to Aaron at Cold Hard Flash for for whacking our pilot up there! It’s much appreciated. And as I said on the front of nakedfella.com, check out Rove this Sunday for a bit of animated fun from BigKidz. Sounds like my stupid side jokes even made it in! MIPCOM is pretty [...]
A little more about MIPCOM why not?
I’m currently in Toronto, the city with many nicknames. They call it T.O. They call it T-Dawg. They call it T-Ball. I just call it “the city with delicious hot dogs on every street corner”, and bless them for that. Would probably be better to wait til I can get some pics up or whatever, [...]

The 2 Minute Precinct Teaser Pilot
So it’s done…
A heavier-duty version is viewable at http://www.theprecinctrocks.com/, as well as some versions you can download and play on your computer, iPod, iPhone, 3G phone or maybe other devices. We’ve tried to test them out a little bit, but apologies if one or more of them don’t [...]Countdown: ten days to MIPCOM
I’m starting to get hyped/nervous about this trip. We’ve got meetings with some foreign broadcasters and fun-looking animation studios, which is great. I was kind of freaking out that nobody would want to talk to us over there and I’d quit my job for nothing. Now I can swing back to my regular overconfidence. I [...]
It’s just business
It’s been an interesting month! Our second travel grant from Film Victoria came through (International Market Attendance), so Woody the Producer and I are attending the MIPCOM film/television market in Cannes to spruik The Precinct, among other projects. I’ve never been to a non-English-speaking country OR a five day networking frenzy, so this should be [...]
