Many Maladies

Will you be in Jacksonville, Florida on Saturday, April 6th? If so, you should stop by the Citrus Cel Animation Festival and watch Marty on the big screen. It is one of the selections in the “Vitamin C” block at noon. Unfortunately I cannot attend, but I hope lots of folks will be introduced to the world of “Many Maladies.”

Also, you can watch Marty online in yet another place: Newgrounds. Feel free to check it out, rate it and review it.

Marty has also been uploaded to YouTube for those who would prefer to or have to watch it that way.

Egads! The time has come. The Many Maladies of Marty Mitchell: Of Maggots and Meat is online for everyone to see! Stop reading and engross yourself in all 13.5 minutes now. Oh, and share it with everyone you have ever met. Stop reading for real now. Why are you still reading this? Watch the video already!

That’s right, malady lovers, the new “Light Teaser” is online for your enjoyment. Besides completing this new teaser today, I also finished rendering the last frame of the show. What does that mean? Visuals are done. Ben is chopping away at the audio and when he is done, The Many Maladies of Marty Mitchell: Of Maggots and Meat will be complete. We. Are. Almost. Done!

All initial animation and compositing is complete. Audio Master Ben Chan is now working on the audio and music. The next thing I need to do is review the footage and make all the necessary adjustments and tweaks to the visuals. We are getting very close to completion. We are currently on schedule for mid to late January. In the meantime, you can watch a new teaser video called “The Dark Teaser.” How sinister! Expect a “Light Teaser” in the near future.

So, get to watching it and send it to everyone you have ever met. Seriously! Stop reading this! Watch the video! Why are you still reading this?!!

No more staring at still images and imagining how they move and sound. A new Many Maladies of Marty Mitchell preview video is online! Three minutes of preview clips and storyline information is all yours if you simply click the ‘play’ triangle above.

What the title says, the preview video is also on YouTube now for those of you who prefer it.

After a long multi-month Marty drought, I finally began compositing and animating the show. This is the prologue and open for the pilot of “The Many Maladies of Marty Mitchell.” I am still compositing and animating the rest of the episode. It will be a while before it is all completed, but I’ll continue to update this journal with storyboards, character images, more video excerpts, and anything else that may be interesting. Feel free to share this video or site with anyone you think may enjoy it.
