NEW CARTOON - Johnny Depp in Burtonland

.
/* */
Here is my newest of 3 BBC shorts I've signed on to do over the coming months.

What a week this has been. I consider this page the closest thing I have to a blog where I can discuss things fairly candidly and I'm going to take this opportunity to expel a big fat sigh of relief that this project is over because it was an absolute fucking nightmare from beginning to end. I animated this in 6 GODDAMN DAYS without a script to work from. It was an idea I had high hopes for but the self inflicted time limit I had (caused by gross procrastination) made this impossible to finish to the standard I had wanted. I hate the last 10 seconds of this more than all of my 2004 spam combined and they really let down an otherwise okay spoof. I had planned another minute or so of great gags and animation...but I just couldn't do it. What a fuck up.

Huge thanks to my savior Sucho for colouring* the backgrounds for the short. Hope you spend that $9 well Such. This was the first time I've employed another artist and as deadlines are starting to become priority I may well do it again...forward me details if you want to earn some green doing that sort of monkeywork...I MEAN

On the bright side, I stayed up 48 hours straight to finish this for today and at least proved to myself that I'm not the huge puss I thought I may be. Better still, I am literally having the busiest time of my life and still have another 2 projects coming out THIS MONTH which I'm excited about.

Then Starbarians in April....I SWEAR

Happy Harry Happy

* Fuck off, I'm British

damn harry i thought that whole "i suck at everthing" thing you do was a joke, but you actually are hard on yourself. I cant name one animator that can come close to your skills. Oh and since you keep quoteing the AC transit bus fight, are you hinting that your doing your own parody?

HappyHarry 2010-03-13 00:23:36

Thanks but this particular short does kind of eat.

And no, I'm not doing an AC transit parody.

I love how you were able to take an observation such as this that everyone is aware of and inflate it to become the trailer itself. 6 days is impressive for what you accomplished.

Dude that was your funniest cartoon yet!

I'm so glad your british!

Getting on the BBC is a pretty kick ass thing. Great job man! Care to meet the Pythons any time soon?

Starbarians? IT'S REALLY HAPPENING?
I must prepare myself for this...

Sweeney Todd cutting the Mad Hatter's hair? LOL! Can't wait to see it!

webchameleon 2010-03-16 02:02:37

Hey, as long as Burton is handing Johnny Depp is handing out the checks, he could star in an entire movie!

Kitsyfluff 2010-03-19 23:22:16

Hey Harry,
1. Poor Michael Keaton indeed. He was such a talented dude.
2. Is Dogtooth any closer to completion or has deadlines bogged it down so far it may never surface?

morcov 2010-03-21 08:33:34

With spell colour like that in canada too!

morcov 2010-03-21 08:37:43

Ha ha, I love the irony in theese two lines

serbat 2010-03-22 20:27:20

Dude chill. Did you get twitterized or something? No twitter would do worse. You got pissed at something.

This flash was so much better than you made it out to be. You went on about it like it was some humongous fuck-up, but it was brilliant! Don't be so hard on yourself. It was a masterpiece of a flash! I think it's worthy of the flash portal, too.

Good Show Harry.

After reading your blog.

I just wanted to say I actually really know what your going through. If it is what i think it it... I'm being serious. I go through it too. The procrastination, the high expectations of myself... Other stuff.

And I wish you the best.

HappyHarry 2010-03-25 03:57:38

Cool, thanks man.
