"Mr Zombie Presents......"



Big meeting tomorrow in Newcastle with Northern Film & Media. NFM have funded various projects I've worked on in the past and they're a wonderful organisation, a regional division of the old UK Film Council. I'm hoping they may be able to come on board as I develop a new series of short animations for mobile phones, titled above.

As a viewer, you are invited into the world of Mr Zombie, your erstwhile guide to life (or un-life as the case may be) via the magic of 2D digital animation! In shorts of various lengths (and I don’t mean leg-wear) Mr Zombie provides a quick insight into all manner of pursuits, from the mundane to the magnificent. Sadly for our titular host, each of these lessons results in injury, dismemberment, and body parts falling from his forsaken body…

Hope the meeting went well at NFM. I should have read your blog sooner. I'm based back in Newcastle now and you could have come over to the new studio for a cup of tea if you'd had time after your "talks"

Thanks guys :-) The meeting went well, we've secured some funding from the top chaps and chapesses at NFM so once thats ironed out we'll get into production with a couple of Mr Zombie shorts.

Nik - I suspected this might be up your zombie-infested alley....

Rubber Chicken - thank you for your love, kind sir. Shall pass it on to Mr Zombie!

Gina - nice to meetcha. Look forward to seeing you at BAF next month (Bradford Animation Festival - I'll be holding talks and workshops there in November)

Glazey - well, he had to be "turned" by a zombie initially didn't he? It always starts with a bite......

INJun - what ho, monkeyman! Hopefully Ian may be providing a theme tune for Mr Zombie if possible.

Alina - bless you chuck :-)

Ken - thanks for the advice, squire, it came in helpful today!
