Loyal Clamnutoid, Kyle spent waaay too long making an animated version of my 24 Hour comic STOCK CAR NINJA. It’s a little stretched but it relates the story well. I really like that comic still. Cheers Kyle! Now come over to my place and re-grout my tiles.
Best watched with this audio playing; the Granny version of Buzzbomb. Let her rip
I had to buy a Secret Santa present for somebody in work and I was aimlessly drifting around HMV looking for a dvd for them when I saw Freaked. I hadn’t seen it in years and it would no doubt be appreciated by whoever recieved it and then I could borrow it off them.
I love this flick. I used to be big into special effects and would pull my pud to Fangoria and The Dark Side. All the stills I saw from it just looked nutty. I remember renting it out around 1997 and keeping it for weeks, it blew me away and it still annoys me when people haven’t even heard of it. This is the problem with Freaked, it’s a classic film, recieving praise from the press but completely dumped on by the studio and not distributed/written off by them. It also suffered the typical creative meddling but it’s remarkable that they even let it be made.
Stuey Gluck in a funny but no effects sequence
The direction, production values and gags are top class. Alex Winter from Bill and Ted wrote, directed and stars as the lead in it. It also has Bob Goldthwait, Mr T, Brooke Shields, Randy Quaid and an uncredited role by Keanu Reeves. It’s mad, they’ve re-released it on DVD with loads of extras but they’ve completely repackaged it, moving away from the nutty effects which are the soul of the film and instead just making it look tame and sedate.
Here’s the trailer but it makes it look SHIT!!!
So buy the film or illegally download it. Just watch it. Can’t recommend this enough. You’ll never get to see a pair of Rastafarian Eyeballs run around and shoot machine guns if you dont.
This is a few minutes from the Thinkhouse card. I got the 30 day trial of Camtasia and I’m really impressed with it. Check out the way it zooms in and out so smoothly.
Was tempted to put The Chipmunks Christmas album on for the soundtrack but I’ve come to realise that not everyone likes the Chipmunks. I love them. LOVE them. I listen to the Christmas album all year long.
Following on from the previous post and comments, here’s the infamous birth scene. Amazing how it affected my young thinking that babies came out through the stomach vertically. Still deadly though and a great cliff hanger ending to the series.
Here it is, the finished cartoon. Was a struggle but it looks okay. I have no animation skills whatsoever. It’s for my day job textual.tv, a new web text service that is just deadly altogether. Be a sport and link it up so I look good to my employers. Prelim art here
Hey Hey Fucknuts! Nearly finished my first, ahem, ‘animated cartoon’ for my new employers. They think I know what I’m doing! Jokes on them. Here’s some bits from it. Basically a rip off, like most of my stuff, of Sergio Aragones. Should be finished by next week. By that I mean fired.
Here’s a sketch done all wrote and all by a Clamnutian, Simon O’ Neill. Funny stuff, he didn’t believe me that I have told girls that I was going to crank one out to their image. Just being honest and I presume its a compliment. Fuck it, they all love it.
