The creators of 6teen, the Canadian show that recently sold to Nickelodeon, have begun working on their next project. Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch of Fresh Animation have created a new project called ‘Camp TV,’ and they’ve put their project in the capable hands of Todd Kauffman and Mark Thornton at Neptoon Studios. It’s being billed as a reality show send-up that dumps a group of teens at a dingy camp in Canada.

Joining Todd and Mark on this Flash-animated project are some big names in the Flash community, including Jared Deal and Joel Trussell, the man behind the amazing ‘War Photographer’ video.

They’re producing a 2-minute promo, and then Todd and Mark will stay on to direct 26 episodes for Teletoon. Follow the production over at the Neptoon Studios blog – great looking stuff, guys.

Viking warlords playing wicked, ass-kicking guitar solos on the high-seas. Now that’s what I call a music video. Check out this Flash-animated music video for Jason Forrest‘s War Photographer off his recent album ‘Shamelessly Exciting.’ It’s the brainchild of Joel Trussell, a brilliant character designer, who along with a few friends has assembled a perfect compliment for Jason Forrest’s earth-shaking track.

According to Joel, the video was produced primarily with Flash, along with a little help from Photoshop and Premiere. He called upon a gang of production friends from around the globe to help pull it all together. Joel explained that his crew included “Darin Bendall (Tokyo), Chris Fox (Atlanta), Leo Riley (LA), Gene Blakefield (Seattle) and Doug Gordon (Seattle as well). God bless the internet. They were a talented crew to work with.”

Check out some of Joel’s other animated pieces over at his Cartoon Cockfight site. He’s been a Flash user for 6 years now, and it’s quite apparent that he’s been drawing for much longer than that. And here’s a great interview with Joel over at Pop Cult Magazine.
