Hero Heights Goes To Taiwan Where American Animation Is Made!
Raul Aguirre Jr., Robert Alvarez, Wendy Jacobsmeyer, and Bill Ho
Raul Aguirre Jr. and Dave Eppen
Greetings True Believers!
Hero Heights has shipped! Bill and I did everything we could and now it’s in the hands of the overseas studio Wang Films. We are happy to announce that the great and wise Robert Alvarez came in and helped time out our exposure sheets! This guy knows his stuff! It was a real pleasure working with him and we hope our paths will cross again some day!
Dave Eppen kicked some major butt as our Background Painter! He did some beautiful stuff that totally blew our minds! He laid in textures and came up with fantastic color schemes that really make Hero Heights stand out! A real talent and all around nice guy!
Wendy Jacobsmeyer did a bang up job as our final checker! It was her job to catch all of our mistakes before we shipped! Her attention to detail was amazing!
The whole experience of making an Oh Yeah! Cartoon was intense and fun! We can hardly wait to get the short back from Wang and share it with the world!
So until next time! This Raul Aguirre Jr. and Bill Ho saying Excelsior!

Best of luck guys. By the way, we’ve worked on lots and lots of stuff with Robert Alvarez over the years; you’re right, he’s awesome. By the way, he created two of our first shorts: Pizza Boy (http://frederator.com/rez.php?i=zoom&id=569&album=46) and Tumbleweed Tex (http://frederator.com/rez.php?i=zoom&id=576&album=46).

Fred, i thought Frederator was “original cartoons since 1998″ it has the year 1996 on it.

That Alvarez guy sure gets around! I consider myself very lucky to have worked with him. He’s a walking animation encyclopedia. He gave us tons of advice and is a totally cool dude!
