The Magic Boat

So, for a while now, I've been involved with some friends in a production called "The Magic Boat." It's a puppet show for kids about the crew of a magical boat. This is basically what graduates of art school do when they can't get jobs. My job on the Boat: backgrounds to replace the green screen the show is shot on.

I realize it's probably late to be posting a Christmas episode, but it's still fun to watch. Sorry I can't embed the video, but that's Vimeo for you. Enjoy.

Let me know if your kids like it. I'm sure the crew would like feedback from the youngins.

Currently, we are working on putting together a full, 20-minute episode and a bunch of short, 2-5 minute sketches. The sketches should be popping up on Vimeo, YouTube, and other places in the coming months.

A new Magic Boat episode came out today. I helped write this one.

And it's on YouTube now, so I can embed it.

There's a new short out. In addition to the background, I also played Starbuck, the Canadian mail fish. No offense to any Canadians.

New shorts have been going up fairly regularly. If any of you have checked this out, I'd like to get some opinions to carry back to the crew. If you haven't checked it out... why not?
