Some new stuff to see, and more coming soon. Here is the new logo/main title for The VHS Hole (I've decided to ditch the periods in V.H.S). It still needs color and the full opening title sequence will be much more animated. Feedback would be very appreciated.

I like it it should look even better once the color is brought in.

Thanks guys. The animation for the title is soon to be done. Also, the static on the TV will be replaced with clips of various films that I would like to use for the show, or at least have goofy scenes. I'm going through my collection and finding the best stuff, it's a more time-consuming process than I anticipated. I think it'll look pretty cool when it's done.

Once you need some more riff writing to be done Pete, just drop me a PM.

Just left the following for "Cathy's Breakfast" on YouTubed I went well 500 characters , so the edit down may be, oh, herk-jerkity ?
( damn ! . . should'a saved it THeN edited . . paste the whole thing here too, ah well )
===:
Just here from "Crow's Art" ..[ Big Stoopid here ] and I 2nd all the notions above. Back on the boards ,in`06, a lot of your 1st repliers immediately offered new plot points / motivations for Dot's "reasons" Phooey ! My 1st read of your 'proposal' didn't find anything missing in the premise a'tall !The outcome is great so far. The only touch I found off was the voice of the grouchy cactus came out a little loud and especially a tad slow in spots, Are you doing all the crew yourself ?

Thanks, Big.
Yeah, I'm still working on the technical stuff, it's been a challenge. I'll admit I've been lazy and distracted with other interests for awhile, so I haven't made much progress lately, but I always know this would be slow going.
To anybody still interested in The VHS Hole: It's not dead, it may still be a long time before it becomes a regularly produced show, and the final show may be different than original concept (I'm considering simplifying it) but it's not dead.

HERE is the same teaser I posted before using Why Doesn't Cathy Eat Breakfast?, except now I added an animated silhouette. Now, it's not synced up with the riffs, but this what it will look like. I found a better, cleaner way of inserting the silhouette than I had used on the other test I posted in this thread earlier. Baby steps...

Baby steps... good...goood c'mon, yes ! who's a big boy ? ye-e-e-e-s Do you hope to get the "shadowrama" to the point of 'acting', or is that one a' those steps you're still approaching ?

Do you hope to get the "shadowrama" to the point of 'acting', or is that one a' those step you're still approaching ? I definitely intend for the characters to "act" in silhouette. Barnaby (the cactus on the far left) is the only one whose mouth can be seen, so only his riffs need to really sync up, but the others will move when they speak. Also, they will occasionally react physically to the film when it's called for. Thanks for asking

Good, otherwise people end up focusing on the static nature of it, then tune it out. Sure, got's to be part a' the flow, or it negates itself.
yup

Another step in the right direction - Here is the completed version for show's logo/main title: I know what you're thinking: "Not very colorful". That's intentional. The show is set in a dark, dingy basement, so I wanted the logo to give that impression. In the logo most of the color comes from the TV, just as the only "color" on the show comes from the films they watch. I didn't go crazy with detail either, with shading and whatnot, but tried to add just enough to give some solidity to it. Any comments, criticism and/or suggestions are, as always, welcome. Thanks!

Color pallette is fine & proper . . . I'd even have a descending murky shadow over the back wall. Bring out the "only light sorce beaming from the set" more. Then the chosen colors on the tapes would "gain some glow" also. ?

plus , the letters for "Hole" would, as they say , "pop" . I had to look twice squintfully to see where "The VHS ..." was completed.

Thanks, BS. It does still need tweaking. Good suggestions. The brick wall was actually the last part added, almost as an afterthought. I will probably add a bit of shadowing there. On a related note (well, related to the show anyway), I just (and I mean just) started a website for The VHS Hole HERE, not everything is working yet, but I'll be adding a lot more in the following days. Please stop by. Thanks!
