As a special Friday treat, enjoy the rough animated & fully voiced opening 38 seconds of the Far-Fetched pilot! Quinn loves talking to the camera, even when no one is watching.
Featuring the voices of @JMichaelTatum as Quinn, @ImMrTransistor as Warren & @JLuevanosVA as Kira!
Animation by @saraecardona, boards by @squiderdoodle, background layout by @catherineroars & paint by @Yael_Gilbert & @geordenwhitman!
With everything that’s happened with HBOMAX let us remind ourselves that we need to make sure these independent animated properties get the love and attention they deserve. Let all the corporations know that we don’t really need them to get our animation fix and that they need to get their act together if they want our money.
Live art stream this evening! The Lackacrew will be talking about the upcoming Lackadaisy trailer and all things animation. We’ll be joined by Far-Fetched co-creator and noted skeleton aficionado, Dave Capdevielle too!
Starts 3:30pm PST / 6:30pm EST
on the Lackadaisy YouTube Channel
In light of recent happenings around indie animation sphere and the popularity of The Amazing Digital Circus I wanted to showcase some more incredible indie projects being made! These are my top 3 projects I'm most excited about that you should go support!
Monkey Wrench (@monkey-wrench-zeurel) by Joshua and Ashley Palmer
Monkey Wrench is an action comedy about space, guns and wacky aliens! It features some incredible character design, great humor and that unique flair that Josh (@Zeurel on Youtube and Twitter) always brings to any project he touches. Watch the first episode here and check out his other animations on his Youtube channel!
Far-Fetched by Ashley Nichols and Dave Capdevielle (@ashleynicholsart and @DaveCapdevielle on Twitter).
A late 2000s rock band dealing with the supernatural! Far-Fetched features some great character design, amazing music and top notch voice acting that you can hear in the official teaser! The band Sesamoid's song Adventricular gives me that good nostalgia and is legit a great song. (The pilot also has J. Michael Tatum so *EYES EMOJI*)
ENA: Dream BBQ by Joel Guerra (@JoelGuerraC on Twitter)
The next installment in Joel G's ENA series! Originally a collection of animated shorts on Youtube, ENA is making the jump to a fully playable adventure through their strange mixed media world, a combination of 90s Microsoft aesthetic with wacky/unsettling surrealism. ENA features voice actors of all different languages and is truly the most unique project I've ever seen. Watch the trailer here or see the latest episode here!
Kira, from the animated series Far-Fetched, belongs to Ashley Nichols and Dave Capdevielle, and is set to appear as a cameo in one of Barnaby’s portraits. Other paintings will feature other cameos that were approved by their respective creators.
