Introduce Yourself : Looking forward to 2021! by Mike Blum

Looking forward to 2021!

Hey all, I own the LA-based, Emmy nominated studio, Pipsqueak Animation. We specialize in developing/producing original, animated series and as a work-for-hire studio. Clients include DreamWorksTV, Cartoon Network, Netflix, Comedy Central, American Airlines and many more.

We just released the pilot of our latest kids series, MY ANNOYING SHADOW. Would love if you could share with your children and to let me know what they think. We're making more but need feedback to justify the expense.

Hi, Mike. How are you? That's a funny pilot. From the pilot, I can tell the character's shadow is going to bring him a lot of trouble throughout the series.

Colin Hussey

Good to meet you. I like the style and clever premise of your pilot. I'd also like to be in your voice-acting pool for future projects, if possible. Here is my reel: https://vimeo.com/331310006

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Chris Rodriguez

Great stuff, Mike! I look froward to seeing more of, "My Annoying Shadow" -- GOOD LUCK!

Talus Night

I like the premise and fun gags... Best of luck with the project

Amanda Toney

That was a really fun pilot. Love that he brought over the basketball hoop to create the shadow. Really clever.

Hi Mike, I have two kids. I'll show this to them and get back to you with their comments. :-)

Hi Mike - Okay so I watched My Annoying Shadow with my two kids (Ages 9 and 10). They both liked it a lot and would be interested in seeing more of them. My son felt that the shadow was a little mean, and was happy that the non-shadow guy figured out a way to "block him" but would like to see instances in future episodes where the guy "teams up" with his shadow - maybe to combat a bad guy and the bad guy's shadow.

I used to be a kid, so if MY opinion counts as anything, I think you've created a great set of characters here with tons other possibilities for future episodes. If you do decide to make more, please let me know - I'd love to watch them and share them with my offspring!

Hi Mike,

I will be sure to share this with my friends. I'll get back with you when I get some feedback. I certainly enjoyed it.

Thanks, Andrew Michael Tarr -- very helpful. And indeed the next eps has the paid teaming up against the series bully. We def don't want the series to feel mean but is something we are aware could be a perception.
