Posted project update #37DVD's and Changes to KaboingTV site!
Hey all. It's now about a year since we started this journey, and I wanted to update you on what's going on.
The Frog in a Suit shorts are getting a good response ( that you helped fund). Thanks to the help of Kickstarter backers Kevin Johnson, Suzanne Kasch and Wade Goyens, we have upgraded the KaboingTV site with new features and pizazz. They are helping to maintain the site while I'm busy creating new content, and scouring the landscape for indie animation talent. We also have other plans in the works. Check out the site.
I'm happy to say that the DVD's are finally at the factory and should be ready early May for mailing to those in the category. I've added a bonus film of "My Dog Zero" which has never been released on video or DVD, and has not been shown in it's full version on the web.
Thank you all again for your support. It's a slow road but a worthy one.
Best:
Joe Murray

Posted project update #36KaboingTV Launches March 11, 2011!
It's Official. The website and Frog in a Suit episodes you all backed are going up starting March 11th.
We will premiere episode 34 ( the first one which most of you have seen already), then the other two that you paid for on March 18th and March 25th. They will also be super syndicated via YouTube and others to get maximum viewership and exposure to our project.
The future will rely on the response to our episodes and KaboingTV as a whole. I have decided to keep the site and cartoons advertising free for now, and build up viewership. I would like to remain viewer supported and free, although we may offer subscriptions that offer up cartoons before others see them, as well as "bonus features".
These episodes cost more than the amount raised ( which was offset by my own funding as well as many favors from industry "friends". ) But that is the way it always seems to go. The Kickstarter money went directly to the animation studio who did most of the actual animation. ( as well as thank you gifts). Of course , I could not have done it without you.
For those who are getting DVD's of the completed episodes, you will be getting those soon. If your address has changed in the past year, please update me at joemstudio@earthlink.net.
Thank you to Kickstarter backers and overall supporters Suzanne Kasch and Kevin Johnson for all of the hard additional work.
Thank you again for all of your support. Please tell your friends, email lists, etc about our launch!
You are the best.

Posted project update #35February 11, 2011
Hi All! I wanted to give you an update on where we are with the Frog episodes and KaboingTV.
As we speak, the episodes are finished ( they both ended up being 5 minutes long rather than the original 3, so I've put quite a bit of my savings into trying to get these out. We are doing some last minute sound polish on them, while my web guy and I are fine tuning the KaboingTV website. It will be very simple at first to get the episodes out to as many people as possible.We are shooting for an early March launch. I've been holding off a bit on it since I have been working on some funding sources, but I feel we need to get this up and out.
Let me know if you have any questions.

thanks for the update, Joe!
Geez, i hope you still have enough in your savings to live off of!
You're truly a man dedicated to his dream. Thanks so much for creating a website that will allow animation to keep thriving as an art form that isn't being censored by Disney and their corporate greediness.
Cant wait for the premiere! -

Post CommentMy Friend Cory Choy has a animation project on Kickstarter called "The Champion" http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thechampion/ It started out as a play by his mother and it looks pretty cool. He is 75% there and only has 4 days left.

Getting those thank you gifts out. You may find some of yours in this video. If you have not responded to my request for info ( shirt size, character selection for drawing, address) please do so, as I am trying to get these out the door while work progresses on the episodes.
Please allow a few weeks for the tee shirts!
Many thanks!

This Calvin absolutely LOVES his Rocko pic. Thanks for the customized word balloon. Really looking forward to seeing it all come together. I've been carrying the illustration around everywhere, telling folks about the new site. Good luck!

Suzanne Kasch on July 16, 2010
Ha ha - Calvin. We actually SAW your name on the video above. I could tell that your name was Calvin but couldn't read the rest - but your address line looked too long to be my son's info. We thought it was pretty cool that ALL Calvins seem to love Rocko!
