Video from Cartoon Voices Panel @ Comic-Con

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:19:36 -0800

I found some additional video from the Cartoon Voices Panel at Comic-Con. We were asked to do a completely cold-reading of a "Superman" script from the early days of radio. Much of this was improvised, which made the experience a total blast. ENJOY!

Comic-Con REWIND!

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:58:15 -0800

Well, I'm back in LA after joining the masses at the largest comic book convention in the US: Comic-Con. This was my second year attending the Con & I had such a blast from start to finish (including the 3+ hour drive to San Diego;o). The highlight being the Cartoon Voices Panel on Saturday where I spoke alongside Phil LaMarr, Chuck McCann, Keith Ferguson, Wally Wingert & Greg Berger about being a voiceover artist. It was an honor to share the stage with such amazing talent & to share my passion with 2,500 people! The event was hosted by Mark Evanier & Earl Krauss & was non-stip laughs.

Here's a short clip of our vocal introductions. You'll hear the Blood Elf, Miss Naughty & some obscure zombie I did recently:

My Comic-Con travel companion Keith Ferguson (a.k.a. Bloo from "Foster's Home of Imaginary Friends) kept me laughing the entire ride down & back. And of course we found time to consume copious amounts of calories, mainly in the form of sugar molecules.

My dear friends Edith & Jer were kind enough to let me crash with them in their swanky room over at The Ivy in the Gaslamp District. When we weren't checking out panels or on the floor, we soaked up the sun by the pool. In addition to being an absolute doll, Edith is also a very talented writer who pens young adult novels. Oh, and we're the same height!

Another highlight of the Con was running into so many Emersonians! I can't tell you how cool it is to reconnect with people I knew from our Boston days. A few faces I was thrilled to run into:

John Connelly, now working at Game Stop.

Opus Moreschi who was on The Writers Room: Writing Prime Time Animated Comedy panel.

And my dear friends Andrew Seidel from G4 & Tom Menino from Meteor Games.

(Yeah, that's me in the middle)

In addition to running into old friends, I joined a hip-hop group (actually, just some of the cats from the Comic Strip Live Panel).

Perhaps MC Frontalot will ask us to open for him?

The Barenaked Ladies pondered what they would do "if they had a million dollars" and I decided to find out what I would do. And the answer is: Give it to Thurop.

And that just about wraps it up for the Comic-Con rewind. See you next year!

Trailer for "World Full of Nothing"

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:56:22 -0800

The trailer for the independent feature by Jesse Pomeroy that I shot last year is here.
In the midst of an epidemic of teen suicides, filmed and posted to the internet, and while adults, newscasters, analysts and law enforcement officials try to bring order through moral condemnation and legislation, fifteen year old Rachael seeks her own answers to the mysteries and vagaries of life through a series of video blogs threatening her own suicide if no one helps her uncover the truths she seeks. Her videos attract the attention of a pedophile and an FBI agent and the race is on to see who can get to Rachael first before she adds herself to a long list of statistics. World Full of Nothing is the first feature film from writer/director Jesse Pomeroy. It stars Bella Nelson in a stand-out debut performance along with Angela J. Anderson, Markus Innocenti, Oliver Cowley, Sandy Greenwood, Alicyn Packard and Hannah Cowley. The film was produced by Jesse Pomeroy and Markus Innocenti and is currently being edited by Jules Portman at Mission Post.

Voices for "Cupcake Life"

Wed, 07 May 2008 11:18:36 -0800

I just played a cupcake in the new animated short film "Cupcake Life" by Mike Miller.

A comedic Aardaman-style claymation, "Cupcake Life" centers around the short lives of a group of cupcakes. Here's a clip Mike did that serves as a precursor to "Cupcake Life." Some cupcakes are feeling the heat.

Mike Miller's first short, "Super Ending" premiered at the San Diego Comicon in 2007. "Super Ending," stopmotion animation that utilizes action figures much like Cartoon Network's "Robot Chicken. "After making it through Spike & Mike's Gauntlet show it toured with Spike & Mike's Sick & Twisted Animation Festival.
