Here's what we're up to

We've got literally a TON of shit going on at the same time right now, so I thought it might be good (especially for me) to go through them and tell you a little about each one.

CollegeHumor
Me, Andy, Mike W, and Jason are headed to the CH offices tomorrow afternoon for a writers meeting. We'll be meeting with the rest of the CH staff for a creative session, trying to bust out as many animated sketch ideas we can. CH is going to want 2 shorts per month very soon, and we thought it would be a good idea to stockpile a bunch of ideas as soon as possible.

March Entertainment
Mike W and I went up to Toronto the other week to visit with March and discuss the pilot we're developing for them. It's called "The Illuminati" - we've got character sketches, a great storyline and a pilot that we need to re-work a little. Once that is set, we'll animate it, and they'll do a number of things with it, including putting it on Canadian TV, and pitch it to major networks. We are also in the very early stages of licensing Clock Suckers with them to put on Canadian TV and pitch as well.

Nickelodeon
We're about 60-70% done with our pitch and presentation for Nick. A lot of the hard work is done - like Character bios, environment, storyline, episode summaries. All that is left is to start putting together the pitch and create a lot of artwork to accompany it. Once that is set, it will be presented to Nickelodeon execs, and I'll be pacing around the apartment until we hear back.

JustForLaughs.com
We we're recently asked to pitch a handful of ideas to JustForLaughs.com - and one of our ideas made the shortlist of pilots they would like to produce. So it's just one episode for now, if they like it - then it will expand into a little series much like Clock Suckers was/is. It revolves around The World Of Warcraft - but our own version (since none of us actually play the game). More details on this to come.

Clock Suckers
Haven't forgotten about the DVD. With all these new major projects coming in, it's tough to keep everything moving forward at once. We still need to write/animate at least 1-2 more episodes for the DVD and start production on that.

College University
As much as I love this show, I just can't find enough time in the day to write and animate for it. It sucks. We have an awesomely stupid script about 60% done. The storyline is complete, it just needs to be put into dialogue. I'm even willing to take requests if someone would like to animate this episode with me. It would be a labor of love...not money. But if you have some animation skills and would like to be web-immortalized as part of the CU Team - let me know.

Okay, that's about it. Those are just the CU related projects. I don't want to even bother telling you about the other freelance design projects I'm taking on. It's a ton of work now, but the goal is to keep working through all of this until I can support at least 1 writer and another animator.

If you've even bothered to read this much of my stupid post...pat yourself on the back. Now rub your stomach while patting the top of your head.
