Mrs Vee Recordings challenged its online community to create something audio and/or visual from scratch, in less than a week, every week in April 2010.

I decided to have a go, so here's my track/video.

Direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMfanOiwTRg

The music was composed in Sony Acid, using Poizone and Vanguard VST plugins, plus some samples of me banging on a dustbin and blowing down an old hoover pipe like a digeridoo. The video footage was shot in my parents' back garden, then mixed live using Mute VJ software, and filmed directly off the auxillary monitor.

Some pointoids about Episode 3:

No massively offensive content, but contains drug references, mild language and some weird violence.
You can also watch it on Newgrounds if you prefer, where you are of course encouraged to vote “5” for it.
This is the first cartoon I’ve made using the newest Flash (CS4). Up until now I’d been animating with Flash 8 – not that I expect the difference to be visible. Or at all interesting.
This is also the first cartoon I’ve made which I didn’t write myself. The guest writer here was my flatmate Marius. Marius also plays the part of Mario.
Further to the point above, this is also the first cartoon I’ve made which crosses over with somebody else’s work; Mario previously appeared in a (live action) pilot called Mike, Harry & Misha
