I thought it was brilliant, very professional and a trip.Loved the pace and fast cuts. Well done
FUTURE DUCK! Episode One Page 2
Cheers guys, and thanks for giving it another shot Sootyj! Think the reason's given in that future war scene bit at the start (with the Duck General), but apologies if it wasn't clear enough, there is a lot going on in that first ep! Very flattered by the ATHF comparison, I've never watched that show but know it's definitely meant to be in a similar vein!
And thanks Gavin and Otty! Gavin did you do another thing on Huha?
Absolutely fantastic. very well done indeed.
Hi guys! I started putting this in a new thread, but realised that then I'd have to do a new thread each week for each episode and I don't want to be spammy Speaking of spam (of the javelin variety), Ep 2 went up this week, would love to know what you guys reckon - if nothing else, it solves the pressing issue of there not being enough heartfelt Meatloaf-style power ballads about Whales searching for penises in shows nowadays. Please excuse my shonky piano playing...

Another great episode. How long do these take to make?
Thanks Will!! The writing we did on and off while working on other projects, but the bulk of the making will have taken about 8-9 months by the time we've got all eight episodes out. Which I guess seems like a long time for 5-and-a-half minute episodes, but like I say it's literally just the two of us making it, we both write it then I do all the artwork and write any songs, and Paul does all the animating - then we both edit/direct it and sort actors and VO sessions etc. It's been a pretty crazy production! Ep 3's out on Wednesday so will bung it up here once it's online!

I can't believe you get that good a quality with just the two of you - I take my hat off to you both. Have you pitched them to any TV stations etc.? Both episodes so far are TV quality ready to watch.
Wow, that's unbelievably kind of you! No, we haven't pitched them yet or anything like that, I think we'd hope to once all the episodes are out, but to be honest at the moment we're just concentrating on getting them all out there and hopefully as good as possible - anything after that would be a bonus!

Absolutely agree with Will. There is 5 mins of a show ready to go.
Preferred 1 to 2 but that is a personal aversion to knob gags. Love the multilayers of gags you put in.

Thanks Playfull!! Ep 3 just went up, so hopefully that won't cause you to drastically alter your mind... it's got noticably less whale cock in this one and I guess is a bit more conventional and sitcommy in a way. Like Friends. If Friends had a hellbeast f**king a panda.

Watched the first episode. Awesome title sequence.
Love the fast paced delivery and clever animation.
Great story left me wanting more.
Best video I've seen in a while.
Thanks Tony!! Me and Paul are hard at it on Ep 4 today and that's just spurred us on to get it finished! Really kind of you
I loved it. Absolutely brilliant.
Hi guys! Episode 4: "Death To Russell Crowe (and Other Stories)" just went up! This one guest stars the vocal talents of Terry Alderton as Duck's eeeevil nemesis, and contains Antipodal immolation and panda tickling. Would love to know what you think!

And these are a bit late (they're just taking so long to make... ) but we put up a double bill this week (...cos, he's a duck, see, and... ... *sigh*) - would love to know what you guys reckon if you get a spare few mins to give them a watch
Ep 5 is a hard-hitting satire on online dating. With dinosaurs and bread. Called 'Zombies With Boners': http://youtu.be/7jKTUbK3YFI
And Ep 6 is about charity, and is called 'Kids With Flies On Their Faces': http://youtu.be/IRv_Yp3rsWM
