New Precinct cartoon: BE A MAN!
Holy shit, I just made a new Precinct toon! Since following the progress of The Precinct was the original point of this blog, I think that’s worth celebrating! Like with the last one I did for the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation contest, I made this new toon for a competition. The Australia Day Council [...]
The Precinct — SBS submission
Finally, some Precinct work again! I’m putting together a new submission to SBS for The Precinct. We’ve actually submitted The Precinct to SBS twice before, but those proposed different show formats and lengths, and we’ve developed our ideas a lot more since then, especially thanks to our being funded to work on cross-platform strategy by [...]
Here’s the Precinct stuff from the Opera House contest
I entered and was a finalist in the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation competition! I’ve whacked the stuff I had to make for the contest on YouTube. First, there were two video diaries: My head looks larger and pinker in the second one, but the clip is shorter and has a better ending. And here’s [...]
Opera House Follies
I spent the weekend in Sydney at the GRAPHIC comics/animation-related festival/event-series/thing! It was a very nice com/an-rel fest/ev-ser/thg which I certainly wouldn’t have gone to/been able to afford if I hadn’t been a finalist in their animation competition. I did not win the animation competition! Dave Thomas, Canadian, won it. He’s a very nice chap, [...]
The Good Guys
I’m continuing to be interested in seeing this new show called The Good Guys, as it sounds a bit like a live action version of The Precinct. Also, it apparently features Bradley Whitford being silly, which is a great thing. AV Club writer Todd VanDerWerff has written an article about the latest episode which includes [...]
Precinct is kicking goals in Opera House animation comp
Haven’t had time to post properly lately as I’ve been extra busy. Hopefully the Tweeting makes up for that. The good news is that things are going splendidly on all fronts! I’ve been doing new Precinct animation (well… really a jumped-up animatic with some colour) for the Sydney Opera House’s GRAPHIC animation competition, and it’s [...]
Run, Johnny, run
A drawing I’m doing for my John Howard’s Knees film. I don’t think it’s done yet (the drawing, not the film). Suggestions welcome. See the multitude of people and animals bent on breaking John Howard’s knees! Even cats want in on this action. In other news, I replaced my website with a single PNG image. [...]
Precinct style
A quick post. We’re gearing up for the possibility of doing some new Precinct cartoons later in the year, and I just found the animation notes I made for the toon we did in the lead-up to MIPCOM ’08. So here is how to animate Precinct characters: Exciting things are threatening to happen, Precinct-wise, lately. [...]
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 [...]
