Getting Started
Hi my Cans family
John Kedzie and I are organizing all the work we did on Cans (4 years ago!) and getting it into a "Progress Board"
which is sort of like a storyboard, except it also includes any layouts that have been done. Once we have this whole board done, then we can see which scenes are ready to ink, which are ready to animate and which still need to be laid out.
It looks like this:
We also have to line up our staff so are starting to look for animators and inkers who are already good with Toonboom Animate.
I will keep you posted as to our process and thanks again!
Your best friend
John K.

Hey John,
We got one of the drawings hanging on our wall, do you want me to copy it for you or did you before sending it to us? It's with Ernie holding a spoon and a disgusting face.
Best,
Harmke
Creator LiSA on September 1, 2012
It's great to see some real inspiring animation again. Looking forward to see it, and thanks for the updates!
Creator Craig Mandell on August 27, 2012
Thanks for the update "best friend."
Creator Janine on August 27, 2012
As an adult that never outgrew coloring I've always wondered, how does one become a professional inker? And what does that mean in the digital age - using the paintbucket tool really well? I've always been curious.
Creator Erik Butter on August 26, 2012
Can't wait to see it!
I'd love to do some work with you some time, but i am not used to toon boom yet. If i know how to use toonboom well, then maybe i can join your dutch department with David de Rooij :) That would be Awesome.
Creator Joseph Bacon on August 26, 2012

Creator Rafael Silva on August 25, 2012
Where do i sign in?
Although i have TBHarmony. I think there is a way like sending you just the .tvg files, no?
Hope it can work someway. Really.

Creator Ken Mora on August 25, 2012
Cool, a master class in getting a cartoon made. Loving it!
Creator brian silva on August 25, 2012
These updates always put me in a good humor.
Which reminds me... What are the chances of your favorite fans getting some new Comic Book comic books?
I require more of those, please.
Creator Chris A. Gruszka on August 25, 2012
Sounds awesome John. If you are looking for animator help, I'd love to throw my hat in the ring. You can see some of my work at my website:

Congrats once again on making your funding goal. This is the way all cartoons should be made. By cartoonists and not SUITS. Cheers!
