Oh Yeah! Floyd Bishop.
August 17th, 2005
Floyd Bishop owns Bishop Animation in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, “a full service animation studio, specializing in high end computer animation.” After reading about the studio on Cartoon Brew, we asked Floyd to come by and talk with us about Oh Yeah! Cartoons. After showing us the studio reel and some concept drawings earlier in the summer, today Floyd and Veronica Harper came by to show us Lost & Pound.
Here’s a download of a CGI motion test they brought of one of their characters.
Thanks to Floyd for his kind permission to post some of his pitch.

Thanks Fred. We’re deciding which characters to kill off at the moment. It’s supposed to be a seven minute show, and we had 13 characters! Way too many, but I guess when it’s your story, it’s hard to see it that way. The notes we got from Fred yesterday helped a lot. We’re waiting on more before we decide which animals to put to sleep.
Stay tuned.

Is it just me, or is the video link not working? Fred, if you’re reading this and you want a web friendly format from us, let me know.

Here’s a link that should work. It’s a Quicktime movie:

For whatever it’s worth, it seems that the video issue is specific to certain browsers. Our team is busy working it out. Sorry about that.
