... he updates his blog again.

Since I last posted, I've finished a lot of things, notably

- The [Bedroom Philosopher](http://www.bedroomphilosopher.com/?ref=nakedfella.com)'s music video. *The Happiest Boy* was done in September and has aired on *Rage* and Channel V. [See it here.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS72OAsYxI8&ref=nakedfella.com)
- [*Nakedfella Comics* #9](https://cdn.synaps.media/nakedfella/content/files/2026/10/comics-1.html?ref=nakedfella.com) is my brand new 56-page comic book, self-published as always. Launched at [TINA](http://thisisnotart.org/?ref=nakedfella.com) in October, it's got four years worth of cartoonist passion, and a cover that feels weird. E-mail me for a copy, or wait 'til I get copies into some stores in Melbourne.
- The animatic for *The Precinct*, episode one.

Is it really finished? It's as finished as it's going to get. I could fiddle for years, and I did. It doesn't feel perfect, but that will come with animation and sound.

So what has happened with *The Precinct* in the last six months? Detail is boring and I've forgotten anyway, so here are more bullet points:

- In June, animator and generally nice chap [Peter Allen](http://www.realtimearts.net/article.php?id=8639&ref=nakedfella.com) suggested I pitch The Precinct at a "90 second pitch contest" Film Victoria was doing at a fashionable Melbourne bar. There were a lot more people there than I had expected, but the event was also an announcement about additional film funding initiatives, so I guess every filmmaker in Melbourne who wants free money was there. I wrote a little pitch on the train into town and was very happy, firstly when the audience laughed (I expected they'd be more reserved) and secondly when I actually won. I rarely win anything, so it was a nice little confidence boost.
- Following my prize presentation (a sack of Australian films from [Madman Entertainment](http://www.madman.com.au/?ref=nakedfella.com), most of which feature [David Wenham](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%5FWenham?ref=nakedfella.com)), some friendly people approached me with business cards, and all of a sudden it started feeling kinda Hollywood in there. The result of this was that *The Precinct* production team now includes [Woody The Producer](http://www.puffafish.com.au/?ref=nakedfella.com), whose magical powers include the incredible "getting money out of people for quality entertainment".
- In between hacking away at the wonderful mountain of work I've had on, I finished off that animatic, which made its way to the Screen Producers Association of Australia conference in Woody's hot little hands. Reportedly it was laughed at (in a good way) and interested some Canadian companies such that I'm wondering how hard it might be to get [Corey Hart](http://wc09.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:39ftxqw5ldhe&ref=nakedfella.com) and [Matt Frewer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt%5FFrewer?ref=nakedfella.com) to join the cast.

And that's what's new!
