So after many weeks of contemplation, and much gnashing of teeth… I have decided not to do Flavio’s voice and instead to go with a professional who will bring something that only a true pro can do. Good acting! I am delighted to Say that I am fortunate enough to get Emmy Award winning actor Rob Paulsen!It’s not that I didn’t like my voice because I think it was good enough but in the end I believe thatjust ” good enough” wasn’t going to cut it. No, I needed to “knock it out of the park!”and when I heard Rob’s voice I instantly knew it was a better choice.
Of course a decision like this in the eleventh hour is not without it’s problems because remember the lip sync is already done so Rob will have to ADR (Audio Dub Record) the voice..Of course with a true pro in Flavio’s corner [Read more…]
Flavio was looking in the attic the other day and found a painting of his great great grandpa Giuseppe Flavio Giovanni Milano! This portrait was painted of him the week before he left his homeland in Calabria to journey to America in 1907. Once there he worked in Brooklyn for many years as a cobbler.
Now you can wash clothes even when you’re on the road!
Simply place your soiled items in the plastic container and add a quart of water and a tablespoon of soap.
Now just wrap the convenient bungie cords around two trees, pull back and let go! The Portable Washing Machine will do the rest, rapidly washing your clothes clean!
After getting the film back from overseas and cutting it down, I noticed that it might be cool to add cards for the other inventions Flavio creates in this film so I had my buddy Maurice whip these babies up! I think they came out really nice! [Read more…]
Finally got the film locked and it came out great! It was pretty easy to cut down as I was only 20 seconds over.
Animation was provided by Wang Films and they did a fantastic job!
In other news, I’ve decided that I want to explore recasting Flavio’s voice…I like my voice but in the end I am not sure it goes to 11. More on that later.
P.S. If you don’t get the “11″ reference watch Spinal Tap
