Shadywoods Status May 2024
For one of my rigs I just captured the whole process, to share on YouTube. I ended up with 9.5 hours (!) of footage. And then I made so many stupid mistakes that I had to cut out massive parts of it, so not to confuse the hell out of the viewers. So here it is...
Shadywoods Status April 2024
I finally entered my two-week holiday (during Japanese "golden week") and found time to rig most of my characters. And it's a lot of work. On a good day I can probably fully rig one character if I work on it kinda full-time for a whole day. Watching glaciers must...
Shadywoods Status March 2024
As I mentioned in my last post I recorded the Shadywoods narration, I turned that, some intro and outro music and sound effects into something akin to a ‘radio play’. Judging from the audio alone I'm quite happy with the outcome, the episode is 22 minutes long as...
Shadywoods Status February 2024

After rewriting, re-rewriting, re-re-rewriting the script for Shadywoods the movie, I eventually gave up writing a feature film, and instead made it into a series as I originally intended. Now hat I have finally completed the pilot script for the series, I've...
Webinar: Creating A Sci-Fi Series Alone
One-hour webinar where I talk about my workflow creating an independent animated series as a one-man operation, with Moho at the center. I talk about how I puts together scenes, show various character rigs I created over time, and what considerations went into...
Shadywoods is still happening…
I have been quite silent for a very long time. I've been trying to finish a feature film script for Shadywoods and I actually wrote about three scripts, none of them completely finished, but each between 50 and 65 pages long. Every single time I ended up with an...
And Thus Begins Shadywoods…
Now, that Phungus & Mowld episode 3 is in the can, I want to focus on another project that has been stalling for too long. I want to make the Shadywoods movie a reality. If you have followed my blog, you’re probably aware that I was torn about the format....
