The Toon Platoon Podcast!

Posted by Kirbopher - January 28th, 2009


Hey everyone, still keepin' productive. Gotta few things to plug, one which is a big deal for me and a few friends of mine actually...we started a podcast!

-The Toon Platoon Podcast-

Where myself, Chris Zito and Mike Ruocco get together and discuss various things in animation. We've often had conversations about the creative side of things for the animation world, anywhere from series to feature films and beyond...so I figured "hey, we're just as reputable or non-reputable as anyone else who can start a podcast! Let's do our own!" For our first episode we talked about what we consider to be strong main characters in animated series, a few examples being Flapjack, Chowder, Monkey D. Luffy, Sam & Max, Mulan and a few others here and there. Since it was our first, we more than likely had a few technical problems in recording, but hopefully whatever they might be I'll be made aware of in the feedback and can watch out for in our upcoming episodes, of which I have plenty of ideas for ;]

Check it out right here at the Toon Platoon Blogspot, hope you enjoy it!

There Was This One Time is making good progress, I've been working on it for several hours straight during my Teusday Animation class to make sure time is set aside for it specifically every week. I finished up the dinky little one-shot assignment for another class of mine, the one I mentioned related to Parody Rangers. Due to the time constraints it just didn't end up being of the quality I wanted, so I probably won't be uploading that. It's nothing incredibly important anyway, so you guys aren't missing anything. Same subject as the Rangers though, I gotta get back to work on the Movie again soon, still a LONG way to go for Part 2. I gotta finish up a quick animation for a collab I'm part of too, but that shouldn't take too long. I'm just glad I'm constantly working on stuff, the break was fine but I really need to stay productive.

Lastly, NG voice actress: Francine Louise (Dixie Kong & Female Pokemon Trainer in $00pah NiN10Doh!) is starting a collab related to the Legend of Zelda and is looking for people to join aboard. If you're interested, check out her blog page about it and ask her for details. Thanks :]

Also good luck to everyone competing in the Tank Awards!

coolness, I'll check it out.....oh I love your flashes btw ^___^

nice, i'll be sure to check it out while waiting for your next flash movies to come out.(*waits patiently*)

hi nice post

I'm gonna check out your podcast once my sound starts working again... Until then I'll have to turn up the stereo while on the computer.

UR NOY A DUMBASS!!! UR A SMARTASS!!!!!!!(>_o)b

I disagree with all of your girl arguments completely. My characters are mostly women or men with very feminine qualities and I use the fact that they're women to my advantage, and I try to avoid the "I wanna be a guy" plot point as much as possible. I create and use the characters to the advantage of the story instead of my personal desires! That is usually more important I think.

I think that was mainly Chris' view on most girl characters put into that position a la Disney films. For myself, in creating them anyway, since my number of male characters outweigh my females, every girl I create I try to make something really unique and cool about them. I try to treat them the same as I would with any boy character but specifically try to give them a quality that makes them stands out from the others, since they have just as much potential.

I like the idea of you guys having a podcast about discussing animation (or just ideas in general really) and this time I won't complain about any conflicting opinions since as someone in your podcast said, people have different opionions (that and you're not actually going to read this anyway)

Already listened to the podcast before this post. BOY IM COOL.

really though, it's starting out as an ok podcast.

Glad ya enjoyed it :]

"make a podcast about metaknight and every night at 11 have a political debate about how he is "too good""

this is mostly why i stopped playing brawl

i mean the people who cry about it not the character itself

i was disappointed in the lack of metaknight discussion

Did you ACTUALLY listen to it outta curiosity?

Um...random question....what is the song you used in the Scott Pilgrim Flash Ad?

It's in the credits.

Thank you, sir. I also assume you're going to ComicCon too?

NYCC for Saturday, SDCC for the whole weekend hopefully.

Podcast discussion was awesome! Stay with it. One question though... When I hit play, was there supposed to be streaming video er just audio?

i did not

but for the record i've never listened to a podcast in the first place so

Aright.

*starts listening*

turned it off about halfway. Deep Pokemon philosophy does nothing for me.

would like to hear more about, new programs they teach at school, or shout out of upcoming events, interviews, possibly discuss some unknown tricks in flash etc..

but this was the first one so Im sure they will get more interesting as it progresses.

Oh either curse or don't bleeping a curse when its practically been said already is lame and annoying.

YOU ARE GOD OF NEWGROUNDS!!! ALL BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHTY KIRBOPHER, HE WHO KICKED META KNIGHT'S ASS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITHOUT EVEN TRYING!!!

Um. What.

Dont mind him, he's just trying to get your attention.

i feel as though u need to make a collba with me! the collab will be about well wat ever comes to mind first hmm....yo im tenshi lurodi an veteran artist and art abilities growing every day :D

I'd do the Zelda thing but she's only basing it on one game (Ocarina) and well, pretty much every joke's been done.
