This is the show I mentioned in my earlier post. I didn’t realize the show had debuted already (like I said, busy!). We’re already at 90,000+ views!
It’s been hard work but it’s been a blast! We are taking over the show after the pilot and our episodes will be coming up very soon. In the meantime, please head on over to Heavy.com and give us some page views, and feel free to leave comments here or over there about what you think!

I admit it. I used to make fun of anime. In my defense, it was ten years ago and I was but a wee animation student. To me, animation was Disney, Frank and Ollie, squash and stretch, ones and twos. To me, anime was bad lip sync (even in Japanese) and glorified story boards.
Chalk it up to “youthful indiscretion.”
My view has certainly changed. Even then I loved Akira. It set a standard for anime that I’m not sure has yet been matched. I also loved Mayasaki’s work, well before I knew who he was. But I really think it was Ninja Scroll of all things that started to win me over. Over the years I’ve gained a great appreciation and admiration for anime, what it is and what it isn’t. And in that time, anime has gotten so popular and so pervasive that my pointing it out now seems kind of trite, like telling everyone how I’ve finally embraced compact disc technology.
So why bring it up? For one thing, I’ve just landed a gig doing an anime-style cartoon. I’m very excited. I’ll be doing a lot of stuff I’ve never done before, like fight scenes, cel-shading, and CG animation for an actual project.
As soon as I get the word, I’ll try posting some clips or stills from the project. At the very least, I’ll post links when it’s done.
The embedded video isn’t working for some reason, but you can follow the link below.
