detbear Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Hey Everyone, It gives me great joy to announce the release of my new Childrens video: ADVENTURES WITH BOOMER - Episode 1- Fishin' for Friends. You can visit the website and view the trailer here: Visit My Website It took me over 5 years to finish it with a bunch of side tracks and obstacles. I would like to thank those in the Hash community who were contracted to work on portions of the production....In no particular order: William Sutton Robert Holmén John Henderson Nancy Gormezano Quote

wedgeeguy Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 That looks really good! You have some very nice characters that any kid will enjoy watching. How much of the DVD was created in 3d? Bruce Quote
detbear Posted December 6, 2010 Author Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks guys, It is 90% or so... animation....About 5 minutes of puppetry in a 28 minute show (23 minutes of animation). The puppets are the host-like characters which lead into the main portion which is all animation. I didn't want to spoil the 3D fun too much with the trailer. William Quote
wedgeeguy Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks William ... Again it really looks good! Quote
HomeSlice Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 That looks really entertaining. The trailer makes me want to watch the whole thing. Congratulations on completing it. Quote

jimd Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 excellent work ! much luck in your adventure and may you have many more Quote
John Bigboote Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Quite an accomplishment! I hope it brings you a nice little windfall! Yes, that was really kept quiet... AND what a list of superstar talent, must be some great animation in there. ON THE TRAILER, there was one scene that looked like a sore thumb...or rather an orphan... the 3 wigwam's or tents scene just didn't seem to belong to a scene post or prior... other than that...!

detbear Posted December 7, 2010 Author Posted December 7, 2010 Hey Everyone.... Thanks for all your awesome feedback... I knew A:M was up to the task and for a small crew it is unrivaled as a 3D tool. When the smoke clears from the launch of the video, I hope to post some making of type things and such. There's a bunch of animation not seen on the trailer and a bunch more characters. 23 or so characters. Yeah...I had some contracts and such where I had to keep things quiet. There were times that I wanted to show stuff but couldn't . Yeah JB...I wish I had time to make it all as polished. Budget and time worked aginst me. There were some really frustrating moments along the way, especially seeing that some parts shined a bit brighter than others. As for the trailer---- I found that for me, making a trailer is almost as difficult as making a movie...Requires a bunch of planning and scripting. Overall, I'm very excited about it and hope people like it. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 8, 2010 Hash Fellow Posted December 8, 2010 If anyone is in the difficult position of finding a gift for a child and prefers one that that does not involve grand theftin' of autos or mowing down hookers with a machine gun I bet "Adventures with Boomer" would be a fine choice. Order now! Quote
jason1025 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Congrads. I would experiment with different price points. when advertising. Contact netflix, block buster and Itunes. You can sell it through them as well. Quote

Order now! Yes.. It is created to have a more 'family friendly' style. I think all ages can enjoy it. Quote
Paul Forwood Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Looks like fun. Congratulations! Quote

My Fault Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Congrats on finishing this up Kevin, looks great. You should be so proud!! Brian Quote
kwhitaker Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 awesome job, congratulation, the kids will really enjoy the adventures. Quote
detbear Posted December 14, 2010 Author Posted December 14, 2010 One of the things that made working with Animation Master such a right fit for this project, was the ability to work with a small group. The Animation consists of about 23 minutes. Including myself, there were only 4 actual animators: Myself, Mark McDole, Brian Nicolucci, and Robert Holmén Robert did a really nice acting sequence running about 50 seconds or so. As you all know, Robert is a very talented animator and performed some awesome acting choices. Mark M. did a similar length sequence where Sir Gilbert takes on a dragon(Sooo funny)... Although I haven't timed it out, Brian N. and myself did the remaining 21 minutes of animation. Of course after all was done, I had to clean up and prepare it all for final renders. But Animation Master was the right choice for the project. It would've been really difficult to use a different pipeline with a small crew. Quote
zandoriastudios Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Watched it last night--great job, William! Quote
My Fault Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I really enjoyed working with ya! I don't know many people who could have pulled this off, and as well as you did. A definite labor of love. Can't wait to watch it when I get back to the states. Of course, now we all wonder, what is next for ya, you mad, crazy ninja? Quote
NancyGormezano Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Just watched it.. Wonderfully done! Congrats again! Quote
