Back in 2010, we featured a short clip from a new, Flash-animated series out of Australia – The Dukes of Broxstonia. It’s the creation of Suren Perera and Stu Connolly, and a whole series has been produced for ABC TV in Australia. Here’s an episode titled Photo Shoot:

Six Point Harness Putting Out Good Vibes

You know when your friend or friends work on something and you really want it to be good so you can honestly tell them you liked it – but it sucks? Well, I don’t have that problem with Good Vibes, the new Flash-animated MTV series that premieres tonight at 10:30/9:30c. My pals at Six Point Harness can be very proud of this show, and I suspect the whole team will enjoy several more seasons and as much success as an animated show on MTV can get (both Downtown and Clone High deserved far more honorable deaths). Here’s the latest promo:

Boulder Rolls Out Zig & Zag

aaron — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 13:58:12 +0000

The team at Ireland’s Flickerpix have revealed a 3-minute teaser for a new Flash-animated series titled Zig & Zag. The characters in the series were created and performed by Ciaran Morrison and Mick O’Hara, who first introduced Zig and Zag as puppets back in 1987. They eventually became quite popular as part of the cast on Channel 4′s The Big Breakfast. They’ve since starred in a number of programs and TV spots, and this is their first step into the world of animation. Animation production was handled at Boulder Media, another Irish company.

Titmouse Offers Tour of China, IL

aaron — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:16:49 +0000

On October 2nd, Adult Swim will reveal their latest animated series, Brad Neely’s China, IL, which has an 10 episode pick-up. Titmouse, Inc is handling the animation out of their LA-office. Mike Mayfield, who I was lucky to work with years ago on his pilot Boogies, is serving as the Supervising Director, Grif Kimmins is the Animation Director on the series, while Daniel Weidenfeld (EP of Super Deluxe, brother of Adult Swim exec Nick Weidenfeld) is co-EP of the show. The original 4-part web series was produced in Neely’s signature ‘slideshow’ format, but the TV series is being “fully” animated in Flash. Gone is Neely’s organic, inky line quality, and that’s going to take some getting used to, but I’m thinking we’re in for something special next month. Here’s a behind-the-scenes assembly, hot out of the oven:

Revisiting Chicken Heaven

Below is the first segment from the pilot, titled Chicken Heaven, which was designed by Riccardo Durante and directed by Mark Ackland. Ackland and Durante also animated the piece. The entire 23-minute pilot can be viewed online.

Good Vibes Coming to MTV in October

aaron — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 13:41:01 +0000

I sat in the premiere screening of the Good Vibes pilot at Comic-con earlier this month, and the buzz I’d heard on the show was confirmed. The writing is solid, and while the series relies a bit too much on pop culture gags (Paris Hilton and Kardashian jokes), I’m going to predict this one goes for multiple seasons. That said, Adam Brody, Seth on The O.C., is way out of his depth in the role of Woodie, and his work on the show could single-handedly pull this series down, but Danny McBride is also in the cast so it sorta balances out. Six Point Harness very capably handles the animation and the series premieres on MTV Thursday, October 27 at 10:30/9:30c.

Black Dynamite About to Kick Adult Swim’s Ass

aaron — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:58:43 +0000

Scott Sanders’ 2009 feature Black Dynamite is making the unlikely move into TV on August 8th. The live-action feature, while a critical success, grossed less than $300,000 at the box office after a run in only 70 theaters. That didn’t stop the Adult Swim team from greenlighting an animated series (the end credits of the feature were animated), which is being produced out of Titmouse and directed by Carl Jones. Here’s the teaser:
