Gator Days

Well I am currently working on an Alligator costume for a car dealership in New Bern North Carolina. It should look pretty cool when it’s done so I will post up some photos of it as I get them. I am building it out of L200 foam for those of you who know what that it. For those who don't it’s very cool water proof micro cell foam. Comes in white or grey usually and is glued just the way regular foam is although you can heat seal this as well. Its very cool stuff when ever I make puppets that have to get wet like in the ocean or what not I try to make as much of them out of this stuff as possible so they will take the abuse better. It’s not cheap though about 65 buck's a sheet, but a good investment when building large characters or puppets that need the extra support.

Missile

We have mad some changes to the new 99 acre woods web site. We have also put up the new short called missile which is also on you tube. I will also be posting sketches for some proposed new characters for those of you who may be interested.

Another idea I have had is to make a new blog just for the 99 acre page and update it on the production and filming as we go. If anyone would be interested in that please let me know.

99 Acre Woods

Well the website for 99 Acre Woods is now up and running. Its flash and we will be changing the layout a bit in a few days but for now it has the first two films on it. There are three more coming in about a week and now that the site is up we hope to have a new one about every other week or so. Our new one which will be done this weekend is called "missile" and is a kind of homage to Weird Science...kind of...Following "missile" will be "five dollars" and "Doctor Whose on First". I hope everyone enjoys them and please if you have any comments on them email me and let me know.
