Tednut Production News!

I have posted this news both here on this blog and on the official Tednut website. Production on my web series, Tednut, has been temporarily halted until further notice. Well, no exactly halted, its more like I'm starting all over again (in a way).  There are a number of reasons why I have to do this, which I shall list below: 

• Animation, is a major reason. I will most likely not be able to even start it until later this month, after I get back from a weeks at Pillars of Fire (which I'm going to after spending a week at a camp in the Adirondack Mountains). I'll be pretty much gone for two weeks, and have no access to any computer during this time.
  
• Storyboards Only. I have to completely get rid of the scripts. After all, what use does a script have for a show where none of the characters actually talk? I was unable to get my hands on a microphone todo the voices, so I'm getting rid of that aspect. All humor will be based entirely on actions. This could be a chanllege, but I think I can handle it. This show will now only use storyboards, if I want at least the few episodes to be done by September 12th (it's a bi-weekly series).
• Backgrounds. I haven't finished ANY of the backgrounds...okay, I finished one (Ted's bedroom) but I really need to redo that one since it's very messy. Most of the kitchen is colored, but I need to complete it. A school hallway I drew is completely uncolored (with the exception of a fish)

Okay, so that's all you really need to know at this point. Storyboarding and backgrounds will hopefully be done over the next three weeks, and I have to find good sound and music clips on the internet. All following news will be posted on the official Tednut website from now on unless it's very major.

The Tednut of Months Past...

Things sure change huh? I made this teaser for my webtoon Tednut way back in December. You've gotta see the official Tednut website to see how Tednut is looking right now!

Tednut Production Status

I have decided to set you guys straight on the whole production of Tednut, if you haven't gone to the website yet. Here's the link if you guys want to see, cause I have noticed there are some new people showing up to this blog: HERE.

Anyway, first things first. They will only be 7 episodes for the first season ("The Fall Season" as I call it) of Tednut. Not counting the Halloween special. I am currently finishing up writing up that script I never wrote for "The Day", the first episode of Tednut. And studying up on how I want the characters mouths to move (known as "mouth direction"). In other words? I'm starting over with this series. Since I never even finished the first 20 seconds, you guys shouldn't be disappointed. I probably won't get around to doing and actual episode until February, so sorry guys. In the mean time it is trying to keep that unfullied promised of adding more downloads and adding to the character list to the main site. Hope you aren't mad at me. So basically, here are the plans for Tednut:

*Pre-Production (Jan 13, 2008-Feb 2008): Writing and Storyboarding, Mouth Direction, Animation Practice

*Production (Feb 2008-Oct 2008): Animating Tednut episodes

*Post-Production (Oct 2008-April 2008): Animation practice, Writing and Storyboarding, Co-Animating and Writing for Fiznut

Also, here are the episodes that are going to be in the "Fall Season":

1) The Day
2)Mourning Recess
3)Survival Test
4)Bullies
Halloween Special (Mountain of the Vamps)
5)Backyard Jungle
6)Book of Weirdos
7)Treasuring Hunt

Ted Walking

Ted Hopping

Tednut Devlopment is GO!

I have found the future, and it's name is Flash! Yes, I have decided to make my cartoon, Tednut, in Flash. Why Flash? Well, Flash is better looking and easier to use. So a friend of my hooked me up to Flash 8. And I was able to download it for free thankfully. And since then, I have been making countless animations in Flash. I made one of Ted walking, which I shall download later, since I am making this post at school and have not downloaded it to Photobucket or Youtube. I am also applying for a job as an animator on a a webtoon called Codename_webtoon. Not a real cartoon, but a cartoon the same. Visit the Tednut website: tednut.sampasite.com. There are posts on the development of the show, comics, downloads, and much more. Please join the forum, it is very lonely. Anyway, that's all for now. See you in like a week XD.



EDIT: Couldn't post it at school, so...Blogger Video sucks possum!
