Comcast video - SOUND FX VERSION IS UP

CLICK HERE FOR A SOUND TEASER

We kept the sound effects sparse because the cartoon is cut so tight. There isn't much space left over for sound effects, but we added a bit of fun.

Corbett, also a cartoonist/designer kicked in some much needed help and inked a few scenes himself.

KALI FONTECCHIO

Kali has a multidude of talents, it seems. This time out, she painted a pile of candy like color cards for the backgrounds.

I'm forcing her to learn to animate this summer by copying Bosko and Oswald cartoons. She's gonna kick the asses of all you young animators who don't do the same thing. Want me to put up the scenes that she is studying so you can learn fast too? What'll you give me for it?

WILL FINN

Holy crap! I got a top Disney animator to do hand drawn animation for a whole scene in a flash cartoon! Will animated many of the cartoonier characters in your favorite modern Disney 2d pictures!

PRINGLE

All you young Flash wannabes, grovel respectfully in the giant shadow of this monument of the Flash animation world.

Pringle learned to animate in Flash on the historical WEEKEND PUSSY HUNT and then quickly clawed his way to the top of the Flash heap! He is now the directing Flash animator on Foster's and has written a book on his masterful Flash techniques.

KRISTEN McCORMICK

Kristen is one of my all time favorite artists to work with. She's a wonderful Flash animator and has the patience of a saint. She'll just sit and smile during my infamous screaming tirades as I smash computers and toss handfuls of detoothed kittens at the wall. She can actually figure out what I want in each scene even though I can't put it into words or show her myself. Kristen, you always make me look good!

GREG FRANKLIN

Greg, when he is not out crushing skulls and piledriving anyone who challenges his wrestling prowess takes breaks to get in touch with his more sensitive side, animating happy children of all races for me.

LEO RILEY

Leo, the dashing Latin lover is also a top Flash animator and programmer. We would have died without him.

THE KING OF KOREA

It was a real coup to capture the emperor of Korea and get him to supervise the production on the Comcast Triple Play commercial with free Nintendo DS.

Seriously, King Marc took time away from aiming nuclear warheads at all the major cities in North America just because he loves to dabble with cartoons now and then.

King Marco also has concocted a revolutionary theory of blandness. Look forward to real revelations of animated personalities later this week!

He's heading back to his nuclear arsenal in a couple days, so install your computer in your bomb shelter so you won't miss what makes America so great and bland, before he wipes us off the map.

JOE HENDERSON

MMA Badass, don't cross this guy. He's another born killer. (why are so many animators so violent?) Only doing production work on crass cartoon commercials can keep him from mounting you, choking you out and having his way with you.

ENTER THE SON OF HENDER!

STEVE WORTH

Steve supervised the recordings. He is an all around cartoon player.

ERIC BAUZA

Ye Gods, did we really have the man of 1,000 voices do his famous announcer for us? How the Hell did we swing that? Listen folks, I have PULL.

Ask Eric to do his impression of Filipino girls jazz dancing. You will die.

GARY OWENS

We also got the other great hero of voice over, the stunningly handsome, talented, funny and charming Gary Owens!

ROGER RAMJET, POWDERED TOASTMAN, SPACE GHOST, BIRDMAN AND LAUGH IN are just a few of his credits. This man is walking Hollywood history!

DINEO HARRIS

Deneo is my latest find. He is the sprightly son of my trainer, Irin Harris. He made his screen debut voicing "Timmy". Now we can't talk to him without wading through an army of agents, managers, PR men and his posse.

COLD HARD FLASH INTERVIEWS

Aaron Simpson has a nice behind the scenes article at Cold Hard Flash, with interviews and production stuff.
