Wow, hard to believe it’s only a little over a week until the Dallas Comic Con! Back in January, I started this crazy dream of creating an animated Trek parody and having the DVDs of it to sell in time for the DCC and now it’s really happening! I will be there with a ton of “Stalled Trek: Amutt Time” DVDs sitting next to my good pal, David Wilborn of Urban Jungle and now Evil Robot Genius!
And to my great honor, I’ve been asked to be a guest at FenCon IX! FenCon is a fan-operated Science Fiction and Fantasy Literary and Filk Convention. I know, what is a guy who worked on The Wannabe Pirates doing at a literary convention? Well, for starters, there will be a screening of “Stalled Trek: Amutt Time” in their video room! About the closest I’ll come to having a big movie premiere.
If you get the chance to come to either or both, stop by my table and say hello!
Here’s something we hope you like! Some of you may remember that last year I took several scenes from the “The Curse of Greyhawk Island” story and animated them with the vocal/audio/musical interpretations of reader Scott Maitland! Well, it’s finally finished and viewable. I originally intended to make a book trailer or commercial to hawk the graphic novel, but it soon grew into just having fun bringing a bunch of the scenes to life! Hear you go, around four minutes of what an animated The Wannabe Pirates story would look like!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here. Been really busy working on getting Stalled Trek finished! The Kickstarter campaign was a tremendous success! Thanks to all of you who contributed or helped by passing along the word. I’ve finished the movie and am in the process of putting everything together to send the DVD master out to the replicators.
I’m not sure when I will make them available online, except that it will likely be after the convention on May 19-20.
Once the DVD is finished, I’m going to work to finish up all of the episodes for the first web series and get those up.
I’m not sure when The Wannabe Pirates will return. I will say, that my feeling is that I should come back to it when I can actually give it the attention it needs, rather than coming back for a strip or two here and there.
Hey there, everybody! As I said in the last post, with The Wannabe Pirates on hiatus, I’ve been working hard to fulfill a long-held dream of mine to do an animated cartoon! I’ve been throwing myself into it and the first episode is finished! Originally I was just going to do a parody of Star Trek, but I decided to open it up so that I could do other parodies as well, so I’ve added framing sequences and have re-dubbed the show as “The Paunk! Show.” It’s star may look familiar to you.
Anyway, although I’m not officially launching the show until April, here’s the pilot episode!
