Bishop, Projects n Shit

Posted by Wonchop - October 15th, 2009


Okay, so uni's in full swing right about now. What has been a bit of a pisser is that what I thought was gonna be one large project across the whole year is actually two projects with about 2 months production each. Couple this with the general Weebl workage (there'll be a new Cat Face next week btw), and the mountain of games I totally need to be playing in the coming months (is it so much to ask to just skive off work so I can play Brutal Legend with Tim Shafer?), I'm a bit irked. DAMN YOU, PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES!

So as far as the project goes, I had originally planned on doing a pilot for Wonchop, but am passing on that for now, namely cos a) my tutor didn't care for it and b) it'd be pretty damn complex. So yeah, I'm going with the Date for One idea, and am currently in the process of asking various animators whom I'm somewhat familiar with for advice on how to improve my ideas.

All updates on my uni work will be uploaded to my blog at http://wonchopmonkeyman.blogspot.com, which still has a gay ass image embedding system. Right now I've got a bunch of doodles and a really crappy animatic to show. If you've got any (mature) feedback on it, please leave some.

I'm also shortlisted for this Gamer Camp thing happening in November, having a phone interview about it the other day. Will hear about that next week. if I get in, I'll producing art for an iPhone game, woot.

In other stuff I'm thinking of going to the Eurogamer convention at the end of the month.
I'll also no doubt be attending the Flip Animation Festival at the beginning of November too.

And now, to make all above text completely irrelevant, YOUTUBE VIDEOS!

First up is all the skits and stuff I animated for Channel 4's 'The Kevin Bishop Show', set to cheery Audio Portal musaks.

Here's a random summary of mahjong anime Saki that I adapted from an Anonymous 4chan post, voiced by Kylee (aka the voice of the girl from that thing what I never animate any more). When I make enough of these short shorts I'll perhaps make another Tidbits compilation for NG release.

Then there's....this....

And finishing off with your obligatory Youtube poop

K bye.

Do you think Stagbeetle will want tea for his birthday?

ok i know my question now is stupid but:
are you a voice actor?

Not really. I haven't particularly voiced anything lately, since I need a decent microphone.

Dude, I know what you mean... I took the 13th off, and played Brutal Legend up to the Emo enemies, It's fucking hilarious!

I never actually went to the flip festival when I was in wolvs university, it sounded like it was geared more towards artistic animation (which seems to be the way with most animation festivals here).

YES!! A new Tidbits collection, but I hope don't make the same with your Demo Reel 09, it looked so blurry and the quality sucks. Can't wait to see it.

That was because I edited it in Premiere instead of Flash, since there were a few video pieces in there as well. Plus it's a lot easier than importing everything from the individual flash files. It does look a lot better in the Youtube version, the flash quality was just lowered a bit so you didn't have to wait too long for it to load.

+5 for using Stalagmite's music.

OMG VOICED BY KYLEE <3
