Happy Birthday Channel Frederator!

Happy birthday to you!!! Happy birthday tooooo Yououoououououuouou~AHH!! YEAH!!!

Break out your favorite Jay-z or Snoop song and let's dance like no one has danced before. It's our old friend Channel Frederator's birthday!!

On this special occasion, some folks over at CF asked some of us animator types if we wanted to do a 4 second animation of what Fredbot would do on his birthday.

The only thing that came to mind....

Fredbot would be trying to talk his physiotherapist into an H.J.

After all that's what birthday's are all about. Am I wrong?

Click on Fredbot's smilin' face above to see the episode.

(Mines is about 2:45 in)

Have a heck of a bday there Frederator!

For the Love of SMod 2

I love SModcast so much... I made another cartoon about it.

I did a limited animation of a excerpt from SModcast Episode 83: Aquatic Justice.

(I just shot the video of the sea in the opening credits this morning. A few blocks from my house.)

It of course stars our heroes Kevin Smith & Scott Mosier (Smosier Fish).

They go on a undersea adventure where they discover Sharks, Aquaman and Marijuana.

Nuff said.

Check it out on Youtube!

Bear-Horse.....IN 3D!!!

"Look away! It's hideous!!"

If you thought Bear-Horse ruled or sucked last time....... you are in for a treat!

Cause it will rule or suck once again in a new dimension. A third dimension. The sexiest dimension there is.

So get those 3d glasses ready this Friday the 23rd.

F.C.C.F 2009 NY trip wrap up

Hey! What the heck is up?!

I've been home for a while and haven't posted a thing about the trip to NY. I've been busy. Doing stuff. Cool stuff. Like hanging outside the 7-11, trying my first cigarettes, and getting adults to buy alcohol for me. It's been great. I feel cool.

But enough of that! Time to show you what NY was like.

What do ya know? It's a big apple.......in the big apple

You can see the Chrysler building on the way to the Friars Club.

This place is the one of the greatest places ever. The ultimate clubhouse. They even play Goodfellas music the whole time. So many celebrities of old have partied in this place. The Rat Pack, JFK, Marlyn Monroe, The Pope, Presidents, Seinfeld, Robin Williams, Scorcese, Robert De Niro, Chevy Chase, Richard Prior and so much more. They are in the pictures on the walls everywhere.

This is Ed Sullivan's giant head monument in the Ed Sullivan room.

Yes I even took a picture in the bathroom... It's possible I've peed in the same bathroom as JFK and the Pope. I'm putting that on my resume.

These pics are all from the Short Filmmakers party night on Friday the 25th.
Free booze? I was told that at the Friars it's always "Free". There is never and cash behind the bar. They do it old school where someone always covers it on their tab and they take care of it later. Awesome.

Scattered short filmmakers

Some of the super cool people I met at the fest.

That's my shocked face.

That's my drinking juice next to pictures face

Rockefeller center

Our friendly neighborhood reporter from the IFA on the left and Max Mentzer creator of "F word pizza". It's a good one.
Good people.


Some central park

Check out this sweet horse!

I gotta find that horse on facebook.

Outside the Paley Center

Inside the Paley center where the screenings and q&a's were.

Foggy Sunday.

I love Mcdonalds

Times square

This last photo is a pic from The Salt Lake city airport. (One of my stopovers). Or S.L.U.T. >> Salt lake city, Utah.


Overall it was an awesome experience. I met some super cool people, Eric and Charlie that ran the festival were awesome & The Friars club was godly. I felt unworthy in it's presence. It was really great of them to fly me out there. I thanked them profusely anytime I could.

I also didn't get murdered in the hostel I stayed at! Bonus!

Lastly, I leave you with a brief video of times square

Friars Club Comedy Festival 2009

If all goes as planned (cross those fingers), I am getting flown to NY by the glorious Friars Club Comedy Festival to attend the festival and my screenings of Turducken.


Ravioli!? Holy Cannoli!!

This is sooooooooooo cool. The Coen brothers are going to be there!! I might even get to meet them, talk to them, quote their movies till they saunter away in disgust......

Me:
"Well, I don't want Fop, goddamn it! I'm a Dapper Dan man! "
Coens:
"(under breath)...... security!"

If it's like the other festivals I've been to, I get to go to any screenings and panels and such for free. Good deal! Cause these special events look .....spec-tacular!

I'm a little low on the old casheeesh! So I'm staying at a hostel in Manhattan. I've never stayed at a hostel. My only experience with them is seeing the movie Hostel. I'm hoping when I stay at this NY hostel, rich people aren't going to pay elaborate sums to kill me.
Here's to hoping am I right!?? Plus a soft bed would be a distant second. Private shower third...but again being alive...#1 for sure..

Maybe I'll even win something! maybe? possibly? Why not me right?

Maybe I'll be able to meet someone who can help make "Turducken the Series" happen. A half hour of Turduckeny glory on TV. Let's do this!!




Turducken plays in the "Drop your shorts" program on Friday night and again as a trailer before the feature "Jesus People Film" which looks awesome.

If you are in NY or that general NY area....come on out! Do it!......do it...seriously

Lookey!!

BEAR-HORSE!

It's a rock song, it's a sitcom....It's Bear-Horse!

Yes in freakin' deedy! I just uploaded a Claymation/Stopmotion thingy that is known as BEAR-HORSE!

I took a stop motion class waaaaaaaay back in 2006. I've always wanted to do something in clay. That being said.. it was extremely difficult.

Working with actors is a bitch! Especially when your actors can't lift their wire arms up to their faces. Plus I had no way of testing what I was shooting. So I just winged the heck out of it. Just using the picture review button as some kind of guide.

Mantra on this short? "That'll do pig...that'll do...."


I killed 7 horses and 11 bears and wore their hides to get into character. It was intense...but so worth it. So very, very worth it.


Incidentally, I have 3 spare BEAR-HORSE LIVES fruit of the loom t-shirts available in large if anyone wants one.


Watch Bear-Horse do to sitcoms what I've been wanting to do for a while.

On Youtube or Starktoons

Turducken playing tonight @ LIAF

Ello Guvna! Fancy a spot o' tea my lovelies? Ooshe Booshe Boo?

Turducken plays in the LATE NIGHT BIZARRE tonight in London at the Horse Hospital. I've never been, but I think that is where they cure horses. So in my minds eye the films of tonight will probably be played off the back of a sick horse.

I encourage this! I think all my cartoons should be played on a sick horse. Screw Dvd, Internet, Blue Ray. Sick Horses are the future of entertainment.

I'm so cock sure that I'm going to buy up stock. Who's with me!? Huh? C'mon!!!!!

"cough cough!"

SPECIAL THANKS to KEVIN SMITH and SCOTT MOSIER!

What a week!

I was mentioned in SModcast 93: Alive with Pleasure. Kevin Smith gave me a plug on there as well. It was out-freakin-standing. (at about 12:30 mins into the show)

I am a HUUUuuuugggeee fan of SModcast. I've listened to it from episode 1. To be mentioned in it and have them say my website and give me some props blew my mind. My mind is still blown.



It's like going to see the new Harry Potter movie and Harry turning to the screen and saying "Hey Steve, yeah you..... 3rd row 5 seats in..... Cool hair! Also! heck of a pair of slacks!" And me just sitting there eyes all wide and mouth hanging open. Harry Fucking Potter just said my name! Did you guys hear that? That magical mother fucker was talking about me!!


Amazing. So unexpected and so awesome.


Check out this sweet news bit from news askew


I don't really know what twitter is yet...I'll have to get on there and try to throw a thanks at Kevin.

I've always had a bunch of Smod's that I had ideas for animating, so I will definitely do another after I finish up these other couple short ideas I have going.


So Thanks Again Kevin and Scott and all the people on youtube sending me the love.


That rocked my world.
