July 1st, 2010 Comments Off
I get to meet a lot of interesting people through my work. I was just introduced to the “The Jitterbugs” by their managing director, Ellen. They’re researching television production companies. With their permission I thought I’d share…
I often meet people/acts that are wannabees. The Jitterbugs are REAL bees. Uh, and ladybugs and spiders…. They have been entertaining children through their live stage show for years and are now looking to move into television.
Take a look at their show reel.

Just found videos of the Fetch with Ruff Ruffman season I worked on Youtube. I worked on season 4 field production, studio, props, and finale set dressing.
In this video the last two contestants are facing off. Their final face-off challenge is the electromagnetic spectrum stacking challenge. I love seen games/props that I made translated into the cartoon portion of the show. I was also in charge of cheesing up Studio G. Too. Much. Fun.

Getting Loonie
June 30th, 2010 Comments Off
This morning I’m working on a t-shirt for an upcoming family reunion taking place in the Squam Lake region of NH. Just about everything in that area has loons on it as they are all over the lake and can be heard most nights making their hooting call. Fun studying loon images as I work on my own cartoon loon.
And if you don’t know how to make your own loon call…

I told a friend the name of this site yesterday. He asked why I used the word media instead of video. “Aren’t you a video guy?” Not anymore. Maybe five years ago…
