We try not to blow our own horns too much (self-serving video blog about production not withstanding), but we can’t say enough good things about Fleece Animator Charles Hubbell. You know him as the Vampire Le Shoc on Transylvania Television, and may know that he is a Twin Cities actor with a great pedigree and high visibility (when he’s not behind a desk and under a puppet as he is with Le Shoc). And though we make fun, this is a legitimate example of why we love him and his work on the show.
In 2010, TVTV will grow beyond our “webisode” format and produce a 60 minute Halloween Special! But making an hour of broadcast-quality television takes quite a bit more than a simple “webisode”.
We’re currently filming Web Season 3. After that we’re going to move ahead with shooting our perennial Halloween Special for grown ups! Think “Avenue Q meets The Great Pumpkin”! If all goes as planned, we’ll be able to broadcast the special via Twin Cities television this year and then push for a national release in 2011!
Your donation will help us tell the tale of Dwayne Frankenstein, Furry the party Yeti, and Irving Batfink as they dig deep into Castle LeShoc to discover the true meaning of Halloween and meet the somewhat morally ambiguous Pumpkin Prince! Each sponsorship level is rife with incentives, which you can read more about on kickstarter.com! We have chosen to raise $6,000, but the truth is the type of thing we do costs a LOT more. So aim high, shoot for that deadline which ends June 6th and let’s go past it if we can!
The gang starts prelighting for the first episode of Season Three. Now that the Le Shoc set is leveled, the boys start moving cameras and lighting in to the space and begin framing up for the weekend shoot. Until something unforeseen happens to Gordon!
The gang puts up a green screen at the studio, and start prelighting for the first episode of Season Three. This episode really gets an inside look at the glamourous world of independent media making, so take a look.
Season Three begins with the second part of Producer Gordon Smuder’s trip to Atlanta to visit the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, and to participate in a workshop thrown by Muppet performer and Atlanta-born Steve Whitmire.
