Sneak Peek of SpookyBear 2013

For the last two months, I have been living on a steady diet of Superfriends, Arrow, and comics in general.  I must totally confess that getting involved with SpookyBear in my first off year was completely selfish on my part.  What cartoonist in their right mind wouldn't jump at the chance to channel the Justice League (with Wolverine thrown in) to a bearish audience??  So the interim result is this video which I am sure a lot of my friends have seen already, but for those who might be following me only on Blogger, please enjoy watching this.  If all goes according to plan, there will be even more to see behind the big bar at the Crown & Anchor at the Saturday night costume party at SpookyBear Weekend itself.  I am very happy with the results of this, and am looking forward to making more animation!  Cheers!!

 

This video can also be seen on the following pages:  Hairyer Parts,  Bears & Hunters - Online Express Edition, and of course, the SpookyBear Weekend page.  As of the time I'm writing this, it was uploaded 5 days ago, and already has 399 views!!  The first showing was last Saturday at the Ursamen member's only pig roast... it was a real crowd pleaser!!

Hatsune Miku

An old friend of mine and fellow anime fan posted this on my Facebook page today. It's Hatsune Miku, a "singing synthesized voice application" with a computer generated personality to go with it.  She's gained a certain amount of popularity in Japan... according to Wikipedia, there are 100,000 songs written for her, and now she is a character in a manga series.  For more info, visit Wikipedia.

Daft Punk - One More Time

This video, and several others from the album "Discovery", were created by anime legend Leji Matsumoto.  His other works include Yamato/Star Blazers, Galaxy Railways, and Captain Harlock.... his style is recognizable and comes thru in this video.  The entire album was animated into a DVD called Interstella 5555.
