Tech Central's Guide to the Color Code Alert System (2016).

 I know it has been a long time since I used this blog, but don't worry it is back up again.  And now, I present to you a short film I made back in 2016.  As you can see, it all started back when I was working at Technology Central, or Tech Central for short, was having  trouble and it was starting become chaotic like The Muppet Show back stage.  With chaos, it can be controlled by order.  I was inspired by Kermit the Frog on the short lived ABC series, The Muppets where they had their color code alert system.  This was in the episode, "Hostile Makeover".  He said, and I quote: 

We've created a color code alert system to track Piggy's moods. Green, she's calm, but we've never been at green. Yellow, she's in tears. Orange, *I'm* in tears. And with a code red, if she locks eyes with you, it's already too late!  

Inspired by that clever amphibian, I got inspired.  However, before doing this I always seek consultation from my boss about making it.  I pitched it to her verbally because I didn't have time to make a pitch-reel.  She, my boss, Kimberly O'Toole, approved it.  After doing some research and consultation from boss, off I went to work on it.  During production, I got the gist from watching all those old educational safety films from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.  

I know that all along that this was going to be animated.  After all, it has been two years since I graduated back in 2014.  I didn't want these animation skills go down to waste.

I have been seeing these things via On-Demand TV back in mid 2000's on Something Weird On Demand. (It lasted until 2008.)  Those UPA-style drawing were eye-catching for time.  As eye-catching as those Cartoon Network shows of the late 1990s and early 2000s such as Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls (the original not that jokey 2016 reboot), Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Codename: Kids Next Door, and The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.  Inspired, I decided to take that style, aesthetics of the 1950s educational films, guidances from my boss, and keep that cartoon educational, while at the same time, be funny.  .  When it was completed, I presented it to the employees and superiors at work and the result was so wonderful, that they wanted and encore viewing.  So I did.  I hope you enjoy it.

A Trip to T.U.F.F.

 Ten years ago, Butch Hartman's cartoon, T.U.F.F. PUPPY, premiered on Nickelodeon. It ran from 2010 to 2015 and guess what, I enjoyed it and I liked it because it was funny. I loved this cartoon so much that I decided to make a break-in recording of it. What's a break-in recording? It is an audio comedy skit, in a style of a news report, where there are samples of songs put in there for laughs. This was my final assignment for Introduction to Sound back in MassArt. Everyone loved it because it livened things up. I got a passing grade for that. Also, I always wanted to make something like that because I was inspired by Dickie Goodman. He was making those from 1957 to 1987. He died in 1989, but after his death, there were others like Whimsical Will to continue his legacy. A TRIP TO T.U.F.F. premiered on the radio show, "A-log on the Airwaves". This was hosted by Anthony Logatto. 

So in honor of T.U.F.F. PUPPY's 10th Anniversary, here is my break-in recording.
