So what's happened in the last 13 months? Well, the 6 month blue-zoo contract turned into a full-time one. So now I don't even have to worry about ANY contract ending. I have a job until they sack me! Although I am trying to avoid that...
We have been working on lots of exciting things... Stitch Up Showdown being the one I was looking forward to the most! I got to be Animation Director on it and really push the stop-framey, snappy style of it. Of course as with all productions, when it finally started we were working to a very tight schedule, but I am really pleased with the way it turned out and everyone who worked on it did a brilliant job. It should be on Nickelodeon soon....
I was also lucky enough to write one of the episodes. It featured this cute little character 'Enzo' and it was a personality driven piece with no dialogue. I also got to animate it too.
Blue-zoo have just begun working on a new BBC HD TV series called 'Kerwhizz' which I have been supervising some of the animation on. It is visually stunning and you won't see anything like it on children's tv when it airs in March! It is 26 x 20" episodes, so blue-zoo has quadrupled in size over the last few months, and we have almost out-grown the new office we moved to back in October. I don't think we will be moving again soon though, last time was pretty painful ;)
I am also writing an episode of Kerwhizz! It was a bit of a leap from a 30 second cartoon gag to a 20 minute BBC TV show, but it's all going ok so far!
Well, that's about it for now. I have more news but I will save that for another day...
