I have been quite preoccupied lately, preoccupied to the point where I didn't feel like writing on this blogspot for sometime. However, I have finally regained my ambition and passion for writing and have quite an interesing talk for everyone today. As you all know, I am a film maker and have been working on several film projects throughout the months. I am most fond of making tributes to some of my favorite movies, video games and comic books but I have been hooked to a mighty program called GoAnimate ever since I discovered in March. My intention is to make a Star Trek Superman Crossover film and release it in the early months of 2012, because the things you can do with the GoAnimate program open up a wide range of opportunites for some nifty things you can pull off. But for now, I have indulged myself in making the ultimate film series of my dreams, a film series that not only pays homage to the classic cartoons of the golden age, but the science fiction genre and the overall "cartoony" supernatural, if you get my grip.
The series is called Larry and Sid and ever since their debut in March, they have become an internet sensation and have spawned several quarky, oddball films that really stand out from other whimsical Youtube videos. The series tells the tales and adventures of Larry Portchester and Sid Holloway, two best friends that live within the same house and always get in a herd of trouble. Sid is your average ordinary common businessman that is logical and collective, always doing what he feels is right and standing up for his own beliefs. Larry on the other hand is just a plain out goofball, always starting mischief and uprising within the cartoon city and always getting Sid into things he wishes he never got into. It has been done several times before, but I am trying to do new things with this concept and make it fresh and new, because who doesn't like films with lots of adventure and excitement. Every since I could remember, I have always wanted to make a film series with all these fittings, and at last, my dream has become reality. Larry and Sid has gone on beyond anything I could possibly imagine and I am very excited to make even more cartoons in the near future for all Larry and Sid fans out there to enjoy.
What makes the series great, in my opinion, is the outlandish and exotic characters. Of course, there are the main characters, Larry and Sid, but there are also other characters that often appear in the cartoons. There is Gunther Heavens, Larry and Sid's good friend who lives a few blocks away from them and is often seen working at places like the local dollar store and restaurant. Then there is his wife, Jill, who I plan to develop more as the series progresses. She really hasn't had a moment of joyous rapture yet, but I plan to make her a trademark in the near future that will distinquish her from the other characters. And the main female of the series is Sid's girlfriend, Ms. Wilson who lives right next door to Larry and Sid. Sid and Ms. Wilson are often seen having some very intimate moments together, often going on dates and visiting each other in their houses. But it's quite obvious that Larry has a bit of a crush on Ms. Wilson, and tries desperately to win the woman's effections. It's quite horrific though, for Ms. Wilson despises Larry with the utter most passion of living, and if you watch the series, you will know exactly why. There are also several villainous characters seen throughout the series. There's the manniacle Chef Francois, who didn't give Larry his deep dish pizza when he asked for it. There's G5, Larry's invention that went terribly wrong and reigned havoc throughout the city. There's the dreaded Disco Monkey, who tried to rob a bank, and he most likely would have succeeded if Mega Larry didn't come to the rescue. And then there is the dreaded, the cold hearted, the apathetic Hooser Adams, Larry's old junior high bully who has come back to pick on Larry and his minions once more. Throughout the Hooser Adams saga that just recently wrapped up, Hooser Adams has been killed off, but he always finds a way to come back to life and attack Larry and Sid once more. In the recent catostrophy, he created a clone of Larry that would act as Larry's long lost twin brother and eventually assassinate both Larry and Sid. With Larry and Sid out of the way, Hooser would go on to conquer the world with his army of evil monkeys. Fortunately though, the clone of Larry was redeemed, and he saved Larry and Sid from Hooser's wrath, although he was mortally wounded in the process and died from his injuries (OR DID HE....)
Overall, I am very proud of the Larry and Sid films I have accomplised. Starting with the very first cartoon and working my way up, you can really see the progression and the improvement of my film making and animating skills, and I hope that you can come to enjoy these films I have worked so hard to incept. Larry and Sid, although it is quite comical and humorous most of the time, is also very dark, edgy and contemporary at certain points and really focuses on the struggles and conflicts heroes of epic stories often face on their journeys through life. I love to display the art of storytelling through these films and I hope that I can progress on the mythology and mythos of the Larry and Sid universe in the near future to make it something.....one of a kind.
