Episode 1 Wrapping up

I' m wrapping up production on episode one of The Puppet Diaries - an animated series I've been working on for the past couple of months. The series explores what it's like to work at a public television station as told from view point of puppets. Think Sesame Street meets The Office. I produced it doing frame-by-frame animation so it has a stop motion, claymation-like quality to it only without the plasticine mess since it's all done digitally(translation: VERY slow process, yet highly enjoyable). I really wanted to avoid the slick, fluid, 3D look of computer animation that can often seem cold, machine-like. I prefer the old Christmas claymation TV shows like Rudolf the Rednose Reindeer. It all had that great hand-made look to it. I'm also a big fan of Aardman Animations work, especially Wallace & Gromit. I did the voice overs for the main characters and I had a friend help out with a voice over for a female character.

I'm thinking of posting it online around Christmas time.
