Two New Web Series!

I am currently writing two new web series. Each is six episodes long and averages about 4 to 5 minutes long. My friend Roy and I are going to make them so that we can get a decent demo reel going.

One is about two guys using the Zombie Survival Guide to prepare for the coming zombie apocalypse. I know this doesn't sound funny but I think it is. Unfortunately it is not ready for public reading yet. I have not finished the first draft of these yet.

However I do have the other one ready. It is about two friends with mediocre abilities trying to make their mark in a world full of Super Heros. This one was a bit easier to write for some reason and I really like how it turned out. Please read it and let me know what you think. What was or wasn't funny? What parts did you like and dislike? Did it make any sense?

Please take the time to read it. It's only 28 pages long and I would really appreciate it.

Here's the script.

Thanks!

Comic Book Preview

So Tessa emailed me the character designs and first page of the comic she is drawing for me. I think that they look awesome. The first page of the comic just shows a push in to the front door. The theme song for Golden Girls will be playing in the background.

Things are moving along...

I just realized today that I have gotten a ton of crap done considering how busy I've been with the holidays and Brother Beswick (my brother in-law) visiting us last weekend. "Short Stories" in currently in a holding pattern. I have everything except the comic book done and ready to go looking for money. Tessa Morrison is doing the comic book for me. She showed me some of the character sketches last week and they look amazing. I can't wait to clean up the pages, add the text, a little color, and print that bad boy out. It is going to be glorious.

My website is up to date and working. Just make sure you have the latest version of your web browser as it uses .png files.

And lastly, I am actually kicking butt on the scripts for the first couple episodes of "Afterware." I think that they are turning out to be pretty funny.

I'll post the scripts and scans of Tessa's awesome drawings later on in the week.

My new web site.

I have finally finished my new website. It has a better video player and info on the short that I am currently working on. Please head over to www.lucidmonkeyfilms.com and check it out.

Info on Short Stories is here.

I'm also working on a Facebook page for it.

So give it a look and tell me what you think.

I Finally Finalized the Short

It took me a while to figure out exactly what I wanted to do with me short script. The corn on the cob story just didn't work with the rest of the story. If you are one of the few who haven't read it, then you aren't missing much. I think it was funny but it was a little vulgar and out of context.

So I took a scene that I randomly wrote a couple weeks ago and swapped it out. It's a little commentary on the shortfalls of waiting until your wedding night to have sex with your wife. It is certainly not saying go be a slut. Just, if you love someone and know that you are in it for the long haul, having sex with that person is not a bad thing. In fact, it might be better to get that first time out of the way, especially if you've never had sex with anyone else.

So I'll let you read it and tell me what you think. Go here to find it.

I finally found an artist to draw the comic I need for my pitch. I will use it to show people what I want my short to look like. While that is getting worked on I will be turning my website into a flash site, making a "donation page" with paypal account, starting a group on Facebook, and getting all of the pre-production ready. So hopefully as soon as the comic is done I can go beg for money from everyone I have ever met.

Voices is finally done!!!

After many a hurdle and many a jump, it is finally done. A big thanks to Keith, Jordan, SuzieQ and Roy. It was a ton of fun to shoot and edit. I haven't done anything like this in quite a while.

Now that this is done, I am gearing up towards funding my next short, Stories, and animating a three episode flash series called Afterware. There is info on both of them up on my website LucidMonkeyFilms.com. As I get more done I will put more up.

Well, if you don't feel like looking for it on YouTube, here it is...

First Real Post!!!

Jordan and I went into Toy Joy after eating my birthday dinner at Korean Gardens. I decided go because Jordan had bought me some toys from there and I wanted to see what else they had. While talking to one of the employees, she said they were hiring and were accepting "creative applications." She said that other people had brought in stuff like a pizza with "Toy Joy" written on it.

But I decided to make a toy. Makes sense right. So I took one of my character designs and made a header card with a Resume on the inside. Here are the two sides to the header card...



Here's the toy outside of the packaging...



Here's it with the bag and header...



When I took it in they said it was the coolest one that they had ever seen.

Go ahead and follow my blog, I should be posting regularly.
