Rednecks in Space clip 1

Here's an animated clip of Rednecks in Space, circa 2006. The story starts in a dusty rural desert trailer park, right before Billy, Elvis and Pops have their lives violently interrupted by something much bigger than their little patch of dirt.

It's rough, old, and very much from another era of production- but the chaos still holds up.

 

REDNECKS in SPACE (teaser rough-cut)

 Here’s another old Rednecks in Space trailer from the original development days — 

This was never approved animation. It was a rough trailer test, still missing some props, backgrounds, and final polish. Voice Talent- Eric Bauza, Matt Danner & David Arquette

REDNECKS in SPACE (Theme Song Trailer)

20 Years ago, I created a trailer for Rednecks in Space, produced by Six Point Harness Studios and the amazing talent there.

Most people never saw it.

Not because I didn’t believe in it — because I was acting like an overprotective
parent.

I kept waiting for the “perfect” time to let it out into the world.

Turns out, waiting for perfect is how good ideas end up living on a shelf.

The show never really left my head: Billy, Elvis, Pops, the junk-heap asteroid,
intergalactic bootlegging, and the whole ridiculous mess.

Now I’m bringing it back as short animated clips built for today’s audience.

This trailer was the original spark.

The new shorts cracks the door open on this absurd world.
More to come...

REDNECKS in SPACE- 2D Design Transformation to 3D- Animated Test- Chanel Lynn

This was a little more challenging to get 2 characters playing off of one another. My description was to have Chanel Lynn climb up Chad like a squirrel. Well that was interpreted quit literally- tail and all. 

 

REDNECKS in SPACE Series- CHAD Test

From my Rednecks in Space show, I've been busy re-writing story and tinkering with my existing  designs. Never imagined for this show to be animated in 3D, but testing it out with Kling really makes me think twice.

 

Gunny My Hero!

Produced this little scene with just ONE design I did years ago of the soldier below. Didn't want to spend too much time on this since I'm experimenting. Once I had a background I knew what shots I wanted to ask Gemini to create. Shot by shot the scenes came together as stills- just blocking them out. Many times it wouldn't or couldn't interpret but still managed to squeeze something out. Now it was time to roll those shots into Kling. Again many failures trying to get the program to understand camera direction and acting etc. After many failed attempts I settled on these individual animations- stitched them together in Adobe Premiere and added a track & sfx. Could be better but I'm pleased as hell.

Kick Buttowski Designs 2011

I was lucky enough to Board & Design on Kick.  You can see next to a the Doll Vendor the board panel (not mine) I would use to reference the character.  Most of the board artists made it really easy to design for the show with their great design sense and humorous drawings. Here are some of my fav designs I did. Enjoy!  

The Ricky Gervais Show

I was fortunate enough to work on The Ricky Gervais Show this past year as a Animator and Designer. We had a powerhouse team of creative people working on the show at Wild Brain. The 1st season has been doing really well and HBO has ordered a 2nd season from what I heard. Will the 'Old Crew' be rejoined is a BIG question........Cheers to the 2nd season fellas and gals!!! =)

Thug

Been reading several books on Detroit's infamous gang, "The Purple Gang", and others when America went dry and prohibition was law in Detroit's dark corrupt days. Growing up in the Downriver area south of Detroit I heard countless tales of how they would smuggle booze across the Detroit River. It's amazing how much bootlegging was going on from Detroit to Wyandotte all the way down to Lake Erie. From Canada to Michigan about 80% of illicit booze crossed the river, much of it operated by organized crime, if not you were playing Russian roulette with your life if you were caught by these ruthless thugs.
