Remember these guys? I posted about them a few months back on the Channel Frederator blog. I WAS going to do a short with these guys using Flash, but I’m no Avi Tuchman, so I’m going full 3D instead (which Avi is also really good at, by the way).

A few years back, my studio did a short called “Opposites Jamboree”. It got quite a bit of attention at the time, and was also in the first episode of the Wubbcast.

“Opposites Jamboree” screened in a few festivals (including Ottawa) and got us a few projects as well. While most people thought that was done traditionally, or in Flash, it was actually done in Maya. We will be doing the same for this new piece.

If you haven’t noticed, there is now a Floyd Bishop blog. So what’s it all about? Well, I’m still figuring it out. I met with Fred in LA a few weeks ago, and talked about short subject cartoons. Really short. Like ten seconds or less. A series of those.

This is in line with Fred’s institutionalization of cartoons. Instead of making one big thing, make lots of smaller “somethings”.

This snowman film is the first “something”. Think of the one panel cartoons you have seen in some magazines, but animated. That’s kind of what I’m going for.

I don’t have a name for the series yet, but maybe you, the blog readers can give me some suggestions?

Keep watching this space for more cartoons and more info on the series, and Happy Holidays!
