April 30, 2012 : Spilled My Drink’s New Website

After being ‘Under Construction’ for well over a year, Spilled My Drink’s website has finally had a long overdue makeover. Special thanks to Moridin for his help… and by his help, I mean he pretty much did all the work. There is still some fine tuning that needs to be done, but it’s coming along quite nicely.

It’s no coincidence that SMD’s site is getting updated right before the release of Ninja Tales. Speaking of which, everything is still on schedule for the May 3rd release. Work on the 9th short is moving along, and the 1st short will be available in less than a week.

January 30, 2011 : Stuffed – Now On YouTube

Thanks to everyone for their compliments on Stuffed – it’s good to hear people aren’t too displeased with my treatment of Care Bears. In addition to putting the short on Vimeo, I am pleased to announced that Stuffed in now on YouTube. Check it out  and tell your friends:

Originally, the short was put on Vimeo because I believed the video quality on YouTube would have been sub-par. In the past, I felt YouTube compressed animations way too much – resulting in semi-pixelated videos. Either I was doing things incorrectly or things have been improved because YouTube now has the ability to upload HD videos – and without any noticeable degradation in the quality of the video.

Obviously, YouTube is a lot more recognizable than Vimeo. So I am glad Stuffed can now be viewed on it without the quality suffering.

January 25, 2011 : Stuffed – Released

Spilled My Drink’s latest has been released and can be seen on Vimeo. It will be the best 5 minutes of your life (of course that assumes you’ve lead a really pathetic existence thus far).

This is Spilled My Drink Productions’ first project in HD. Below is the logline for the short:

Animated short about a nerdy teenager and his best friend – who happens to be a stuffed bear.

Enjoy… and be sure to tell your friends.

January 13, 2011 : ‘Stuffed’ Nearly Complete

Below is one of the characters from the upcoming short from Spilled My Drink Productions. The working title is currently ‘Stuffed’.

So why is he smiling, you ask? It’s because Stuffed is almost complete. Besides some sound editing and a few tweaks to the final 3D renders, everything else is just about finished. An unofficial Final Copy is set to be rendered within days… time to get giddy!

Just a reminder, the short will be in High Definition – and the plan will be to host it on Vimeo.

January 6, 2011 : Archer Bob’s Alchemy Premieres

The cold weather got you down? Fear not, January is riddled with premieres guaranteed to lift the spirits, and it all starts this weekend!

– Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood’s new season starts back up this Saturday. With Bleach’s horrible filler episodes (aka the Captain Amagai Saga) currently airing, FMAB is by far the best anime Adult Swim has to offer.
– Bob’s Burgers finally premieres on FOX this Sunday. If you’ve watched ten minutes of FOX in the last month, you’ve no doubt seen commercials for the show. If only they pimped out American Dad that much. Oh well… with H. Jon Benjamin involved, I’ll keep an open mind.
– Speaking of Mr. Benjamin, Archer’s second season kicks off January 27th on FX. The network is finally airing episodes from season 1 – granted, late at night on weekends – but it has reminded me how funny it is.

With respect to the production of SMD’s upcoming short, things are going smoothly (or as much as could be expected). A few more post-production items remain, but it is reasonable to see a finished product in a few weeks.

December 21, 2010 : SMD’s Latest

A previous post showed the new Spilled My Drink Productions Tag (SMD Productions, for short). The clip was made in HD because I am currently finishing up a new short (also in Hi-Def). The premise is different from previous works and will only be ~4 minutes. Below is a preliminary screen shot.

Production is nearly complete – with the exception of a little more facial animation. There’s still a decent amount of post-production work required, but it looks like everything should be done within a few weeks… maybe?

November 29, 2010 : Spilled My Drink Productions

Check out the new and improved (maybe?) Spilled My Drink Productions Video.

There are a few changes from the original clip. Some small… some larger. The biggest change being this video is in glorious HD.

The reason for the update? Two reasons – first off, it’s long overdue. Secondly, a new short is being made, which will also be H-Def. As a result, the Spilled My Drink video needed to be upgraded as well. More on the new short later.
