Four Eyed Monsters full film on YouTube

Brett — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 04:32:54 +0000

Some of you may remember me promoting Four Eyed Monsters throughout the past year. Becca and I saw it last summer and it is a really good indie film giving an interesting perspective on relationships in the age of the internet, and the evolving ways we communicate. For less than a week now you can still catch the entire film YouTube. And to help out these great filmmakers (and revolutionary podcasters) you can sign up at Sprout.com to earn them $1 to help pay off their enormous credit card debt from the movie. So watch the movie, sign up at Sprout.com and everyone is happy.

Oh, and I’m back in the blogging business. A much needed post to soon follow.

Last “Pale Force” appearance

Brett — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 17:20:14 +0000

So tonight Jim Gaffigan will be appearing on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” as the featured guest. He’s bringing with him a past episode of “Pale Force” that previously was only on the website and also a clip of the last of the 20 episode run Tom and I worked on. There may be talks of more down the line, but this is it for us now.

So tune in to the show tonight and also be sure to check out Episode 20 at www.nbc.com/paleforce after the show!

A little short notice this time, but I just wanted to quickly announce that “Pale Force,” which Tom Smolenski and I solely animated will be featured on Late Night with Conan O’Brien again this Thanksgiving night, 12:30 on NBC. This episode will be another 2-parter with the second episode available on the Pale Force website, www.nbc.com/paleforce, where you can also get caught up on recent episodes since the last broadcast appearance.

Tidal Wave!

More press sightings for Pale Force:

“Edgy” - Wall Street Journal Online
“Animated misadventures” - TV Guide (again!)
Another “Hilarious” from Windows Media Player

And other places to find Pale Force spreading to are iFilm, Google Video, Jim Gaffigan’s Myspace, and Jib Jab!

Also from print, in this week’s TV Guide we’ve made it to the Cheers side of the “Cheers and Jeers” segment. From the article:

CHEERS to Late Night with Conan O’Brien for producing a series of 20 Webisodes based on the show’s hysterical “Pale Force” cartoons (nbc.com/paleforce.) Cocreated and voiced by stand-up Jim Gaffigan, the shorts chronicle the adventures of Pale Man and his sidekick, Conan O’Brien, as they fight crime with their blindingly pale skin. In a word, brilliant!
