Precinct planning resumes
I went to COMICS CAMP a couple weekends ago, and since then I’ve been hard into (my day job, my freelance work, and also) my two current projects: a short film called John Howard’s Knees and the animated cop show currently known as The Precinct.
While I was on comics camp (which I blogged more extensively [...]
Changing channels
Theoretically, this is the “Precinct” production blog, but clearly, over four years, it’s become “David’s blog”.
Since there’s not too much Precinct news at the moment, I will probably talk a bit in coming months about the little short I’m now making, called John Howard’s Knees. I’m VERY VERY excited about it for reasons I’ll go [...]
Proof things are moving along
Here’s the current version of my Farnsy-themed animatic!
-=0.0.0=-
I (and our growing team) just spent a few weeks working on an application to Film Victoria’s Digital Media Prototyping fund. It’s 80 pages long. You could injure someone with it if you swung it at their head. I would never do such [...]
Rooms full of people with big brains
Going along to these MEGA sessions and listening to the smart people talk about interesting things reminds me of two other slightly similar gatherings. One I’ve actually been to, and one I’ve just seen bits of on the web.
The one I’ve seen bits of on the web is called TED. Rebecca Clements put me onto [...]
MEGA sessions 3 & 4: market analysis
In the last two MEGA sessions we’ve been spoken to by some industry professionals in of the mobile/online “space” (this is the word ICT people use, and who am I to do different) about what the market’s currently like for mobile phone/devices and related services, where money comes from for the development of these, and [...]

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 by [...]
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 people think of [...]
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 the [...]
