Extra Life 2010

Just a quick post to show y'all my latest. Technically, this was completed last fall, but I delivered so late (the day of the event) that the dude I did it fer, Jeromy 'Doc' Adams (the voice and sound you'll hear) decided to hang onto it for the 2010 event. So, I dusted it off in May, tweaked the animation for the smoothness, and re-shipped it to him in Texas, where he worked his usual audio magic.

The 'event' I referred to is Extra Life, a gaming charity Doc started to honor a young friend who died of cancer. Money used to go to one fine establishment, but now the charity is connected with the Children's Miracle Network, so whatever cash is raised can be designated to go to a particular hospital in the CMN. So visit the EL website, get yer game on and help out some kids in the process. Cheers!

Extra life: Extra Tired!

Whoof! Haven't pulled one o' these genuine all-nighters in a looong time. Extra Life is a twenny-four hour gaming marathon, and in order to finish this dedicatory (was supposed to be promotional, thank you flu) I've been here for almost 24. But y'know what? A marathon animation session is a finger massage from the angels compared to what kids with cancer have to go through, so it's all good, baby. Doc's group could be the ones to push the research cash over the top to a cure, so like I sed, go over and get him a few bucks. Meanwhiles, here's a taster. I'll post the final version just as soon as I get the audio from Doc. I'm out...later, playas.

Extra Life, extra work!

A rare after midnight posting, as I sit here elbows deep in hot polygons trying to finish up my short film for the fellas over at Sarcastic Gamer. Looks like I could be here to see the sun rise...if I is, I'll post some animation. Meanwhile, head on over to Doc's site and pony up a few bucks for the kids, wouldja? Thanks!

KAFI: They likes me!

O.k., If it seems like I'm goin' a bit overboard in my excitement, this is the first full-fledged honest-to-gosh animation fest I've been accepted into, and the fact that it's KAFI, one of the biggest n' best, just knocks my socks off even further. You might remember that this lil' toon was created for Jeromy 'Doc' Adams (the voice) for his 'Extra Life' gaming charity, which incidentally raised over 100, 000 semolians for pediatric cancer research. Hopefully, I had a lil' to do in spreading the word about the event with my 'toon. Here's the YouTube:



I'd like to thank Doc for his awesome sound and v.o. work, and Eric Zermeno for his tips on colors and characters. Doc's gonna be doing the event again this year in October, so be sure to sign up, play them games and heal them kids!

And yep, I've already got plans to do another promo; I'll keep ya posted. Here's a letter from Doc explaining his motivation behind the event, and hence, mine. More later!
