What An Impression!

Robin in the UK sent Dave Sim, Cerebus creator, a fax (see excerpt above) where he states the 2 highlights of everything on CerebusTV.com thus far -first of which is our "behind-the-scenes-making-of-theCerebus-Film" contribution (which we daringly, if i say so myself, did as a film in it's own right:)).

"With Episode2 what has firmly stuck in my mind is that captivating black and white advert with "Jaka" [that's us:)] not least for the haunting piano piece played throughout (by Kevin McCleod) but also of course for the genuine emotion and acting ability of Danielle Larson which was truly something else!"
As for CerebusTV in general he concludes: "I honestly think to coin an Americanism you have hit a "home run" with CerebusTV."

We'll see if we won't be dismantled this Friday 10PM Eastern Time when a NEW episode airs on Cerebus TV! Featuring among other things previews of our animation for the Cerebus Film in the form of "bumpers/transition" logo spots.

For our Cerebus Film award-winning artist Kerem Gogus has created a sword: this being a "sword and sorcery" film we need lots of swords!:)

What Wizardry!

The Wizard in our Cerebus Feature is something of a victim. In issue #1 of the comic book series Cerebus is afterall hired to pull off a heist: to steal the Wizard's gem (and kills him in the process, no less.).

Above we see the stunning progress by the hypnotically talented Kerem Gogus and Ludo Leleu respectively.

And like every Wednesday we uploaded 3 (!) new webcomics to our site.

What Voice?

We have some incredibly talented and professional voices among our cast for the Cerebus Film -joining us is: Quinn Ljoka, Michael Antony Petranech, Stephen Mendel and Scott Reyns -who is also a Cerebus fan:).

CerebusTv in the end was not shown this last Friday due to the holidays.

I was up in Desert Hot Spings for the holiday were these pics of mountains and clouds were taken with the Cerebus Animated movie in mind. If we use any of them, digitally altering and enhancing them, of course, instead of digitally creating them from scratch -well then there's a romantic story to go along with them for the DVD extras:)

The incredibly gifted Ludovic Leleu has started on a matte painting for an additional Wizard Chamber Room.

What Gives?!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I've uploaded 4 more animated TV logo spots (taken from our work on the Cerebus Animated Film) that will premiere on

www.cerebusTV.com

this Friday Nov 27 10PM Eastern Time.Also, new webcomics as always were uploaded this last Wednesday.

What Composition!

Another Episode of Cerebus TV premiered last night -it went without a hitch and I loved it: Sim and Steranko talking about Kirby...doesn't get any better than that.

Also, forgot to mention that I uploaded new webcomics to our site last Wednesday.

And now that we are contributing animation Cerebus TV spots: we are compositing and outputting some of our Cerebus Film scenes -used as new TV spots that will premiere this Friday 10PM Eastern Time on CerebusTV.

Some of these scenes are more less done -and now we are compositing them to really see how they will look.

What's Done?

The Script is done!
Now for the final test I'll send it out again for people to read! Finger's crossed.
(Previously we sent out rough drafts -but this based on previous feedback IS IT!)

Again, the script basically encapsulates Cerebus issues: 1, 4, 5 and 13 along with a little foreshadowing of other issues. And incorporates the important revelation from 196, which these two trusted sites sum up as:

(From http://www.cereb.us/wiki/index.php?title=Issue_196)

Cerebus learns about how if he had his helmet, sword and medallions when he first met the Pigts, they would've become solid gold and he could've commanded the Pigt's idol.

(taken from http://www.geocities.com/cerebuscomic/minds.html)

...how Cerebus's sword, helmet and medallions were not only the conduits of his magic, they were linked to his destiny. Cerebus sold his helmet at one point to buy paint with which to make himself blend into Boralean society; if he had not, and kept all three of them to the point where he met the Pigts, he would have become the supreme conqueror of his dreams. Instead, the loss of any or combination of the three items caused a fracturing of his destiny and led to the series of adventures, oddities, freaks, and failures his life had been repleat with.

Stats are in for number of hits on Cerebus TV:
Friday premiere night: 1,961 tuned into the low resolution stream and 1,235 to the high resolution stream. In the period of several days surrounding the Friday episode, accesses reached 20,000+ hits.
Wow.
Just way waaay beyond the point where I thought we were at.
