Sparkle Friends Episode 1

Well our first episode of "Sparkle Friends" aired here in NZ the Sunday just gone, it was all a bit nerve-racking, getting up super early (6:45am), sitting through bad cartoons (Digimon...yuck!!), to see our 3 minutes of air time, and hoping that the network hadn't changed anything without our knowledge. There were a few changes, but nothing major (phew!!), we were just stoked to see our stuff on tv!!

Just wanted to give ya a little run down of the show, for those of you not in New Zealand. "What Now" (the live show the episodes are played on) , use this stuff called "Gunge", which is basically slime that they cover the kids, hosts and guests with throughout the show. So we decided to incorporate this into the show and made up a little character we called "Gun-gi" that the Sparkle Friends befriend. He, basically, vomits gunge!!! Cool aye!

We're not yet allowed to post the episodes here on our blog, but you can find them on our website (http://www.mukpuddy.com), just go to the cartoons page!!

I'll be posting the titles cards as we go aswell, the first one is below....

btw guys, you gotta make sure your colors are NTSC color safe or else colores bleed.

Cheers dude, we're making an episode a week so we've had to limit the animation in places. And we work in PAL, so our colours don't bleed.

Thanks bro.... spread the word!!!
