The good news is that Stompin' Tom as his people, viewed the animatic and said it was okay with them to go ahead with the project.<br /><br />In September I finished up as the animation director on "SKUNK FU", and then was Developing my Sci Fi show called "Escape From Rockwell" for the last few months. <em>(see the link for the trailer)</em><br /><em></em><br />I am currently finish up teaching animation in Malaysia. So needless to say I am a bit busy, however I will get back on the BIG JOE train asap. Including fundraising, If you are feeling generous.<br /><br />Don't worry the project isn't dead yet....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1697753892350276831-2014788799372514992?l=mufferawjoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesse J Cotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11638679755693539874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697753892350276831.post-84257341175274963872006-12-04T11:08:00.000-08:002006-12-05T08:44:56.211-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXRzbwacK3I/AAAAAAAAAA8/OIc5e0YBjrE/s1600-h/BigJoe1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXRzbwacK3I/AAAAAAAAAA8/OIc5e0YBjrE/s320/BigJoe1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004752006604925810" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />CLICK BELOW TO VIEW THE MUFFERAW JOE ANIMATIC<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >select media player</span><br /><a href="http://www.ka-chingcartoons.com/Big_joe_animatic.mov">BIG JOE-quicktime</a><br /><a href="http://www.ka-chingcartoons.com/Big_joe_animatic.wmv">BIG JOE-windows media player</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.ka-chingcartoons.com/Big_joe_animatic.mov"><br /></a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1697753892350276831-8425734117527496387?l=mufferawjoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesse J Cotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11638679755693539874noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697753892350276831.post-64573577880039443312006-12-04T06:51:00.000-08:002006-12-04T07:01:34.385-08:00Hey everybody,<br />This film is something I've wanted to do for a while now. I grew up in Ottawa, where the legend of Big Joe took place. I've always invisioned this as a stop motion film, and have just recently had time to finally put some things together for it. I've always loved the old Disney shorts about Paul Bunyan (It is said the Paul Bunyan Legend sprouted from the tales of Joe Montferand) and Casey Jones and John Henry. Aswell as many other folk tales and legends. Joe is such a great character and the stories about him inspire fantatistic visuals. One of my favourite versions of his tales comes in the form of a song. "Big Joe Mufferaw" by Stompin' Tom Connors is a song that I've loved for years, and Tom's lyrics perfectly depict the enormous legend of Joe.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1697753892350276831-6457357788003944331?l=mufferawjoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesse J Cotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11638679755693539874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697753892350276831.post-24619761957026896252006-12-04T06:48:00.000-08:002006-12-04T06:50:58.962-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQ1VAacK2I/AAAAAAAAAAw/vGmRif3Zt4w/s1600-h/joe.jpg">color test for Big Joe<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQ1VAacK2I/AAAAAAAAAAw/vGmRif3Zt4w/s320/joe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004683720919886690" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1697753892350276831-2461976195702689625?l=mufferawjoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesse J Cotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11638679755693539874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697753892350276831.post-14823041934036668382006-12-04T06:47:00.000-08:002006-12-04T06:48:23.138-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQ1BgacK1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/uNk42_rPjC0/s1600-h/Joemufferaw.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQ1BgacK1I/AAAAAAAAAAk/uNk42_rPjC0/s320/Joemufferaw.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004683385912437586" border="0" /></a>This is a statue carved out of pine to commemorate Joe Montferand<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1697753892350276831-1482304193403666838?l=mufferawjoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesse J Cotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11638679755693539874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697753892350276831.post-62402393426857244882006-12-04T06:44:00.000-08:002006-12-04T06:46:52.518-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQ0mAacK0I/AAAAAAAAAAY/xtDTm1vl5Jk/s1600-h/3854308_e75eb5e3b0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQ0mAacK0I/AAAAAAAAAAY/xtDTm1vl5Jk/s320/3854308_e75eb5e3b0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004682913466035010" border="0" /></a>this is the cover of a Bernie Bedore book about Joe<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1697753892350276831-6240239342685724488?l=mufferawjoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesse J Cotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11638679755693539874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697753892350276831.post-78128214287018418342006-12-04T06:28:00.000-08:002006-12-04T06:32:11.252-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQw5QacKzI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Utyoh-TaH30/s1600-h/BigJoe1.jpg">this is the title card from the storyboard/animatic<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_i2-io6D-ecE/RXQw5QacKzI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Utyoh-TaH30/s320/BigJoe1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5004678846132005682" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1697753892350276831-7812821428701841834?l=mufferawjoe.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jesse J Cotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11638679755693539874noreply@blogger.com1
