The Hit Squad - Cartoon Sitcom

[archiveofeverything]

Hi everyone,

I've restarted production on The Hit Squad - a cartoon sitcom based around 4 washed up 80s music producers trying to regain their fame, fortune and Jack Daniels sponsorship.



Here's the synopsis:
Back in the mid 80s when cocaine was pure and a man was judged on the size of his shoulder pads, a crack team of songwriters ruled the charts

Roddy Stones and his team had nearly every top ten hit for over a decade. From their number 1 hit "Love is a Beast That Cannot Be Tamed" to the dancefloor filler "Eyeshadow Boy", there was nothing that could escape their midas touch.

But the 90s came and went and they soon hit hard times.

This is their story. This is The Hit Squad


Episodes -

I'm always looking for people to get involved with the work so if you think you can help (want your music to feature in the series, have any situations that you think should be included, scripts, anything!) then please don't hesitate to get in contact with me.

Update Jan 09: The project is back in production.

Sounds cool, would love to contribute.

Have a look at my media page: ttp://vimcortez.com

tell me if there's anything you like.

Wd like to contribute snippets, sounds, whatever.

I can also work on end credits tunes.

Apart from selling the DVDs, what kind of "distribution" are you thinking of? ise. youtube, etc.

Will you need soundtrack(s) in addition to the end credits tune?

cheers

Hi guys, thanks for the supportive messages and the blog post!
At the moment, its just end credits tunes that I'm looking for, but feel free to shoot me anything you think may be of interest.
I've had a couple of PMs as well as these, so I'll check out the music later this week.
As for distribution, its definately going to be on all the major video websites (youtube, blip etc...) before DVD but I'm chasing up some TV connections too, so we shall see!

I've started doing videoblogs about the whole process, they're always updated at the top of the page, so please check back. Or go to http://www.chrisblundell.com and steal the rss feed off there for updates too.

Keep spreading the word, and pop along to the website and say hello in the forums as well!

Just a quick note, I've just had the first confirmed celebrity to the series.
I can't reveal who it is yet, but its someone you will know if you're either a) over 30 or b)into synthesised music

Ok, started a mini series as a precursor to The Hit Squad to test animation techniques.

The series is called Fragile Man.

Take a gander at episode 1
