The Nightly News at Nine with Phil and Sherry http://www.nightlynewsatnine.com An Animated Webseries Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:49:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 The Nightly News at Nine with Phil and Sherry is a stop-motion animated web series produced by David M Pickett. It details the zany adventures of a TV News team who live in a fantastical world made of plastic bricks. There are new videos produced about once a month. Phil Brickley and Sherry Tiles are the program\'s anchors. They have been partners for a long time and their banter reflects their deep familiarity with each other. Robert Vylan joins NNN as its new sportscaster in the first episode, but he is really Malifios, a villain intent on destroying New Block Bity. Report-O-Bot-Ophelia is NNN\'s in the field reporter, and while her investigative methods are a bit unorthodox, she is very thorough. Leggsly Von Sharkerton is added to the NNN team after he devours the previous man-in-the-street reporter. He is a shark with legs. Zundar Silverspine, Weatherdragon Extraordinaire, is the most flamboyant member of the team and has been doing the weather forecast almost as long as NNN has been around.

In this, the pilot episode of The Nightly News at Nine, there is a massive prison break out caused by a soccer game gone horribly awry. One of the escaped convicts is Malifios, a villain intent on destroying New Block City. The NNN team learns more about Malifios’s previous attempts to destroy the city as well as the New Block Citizens reaction to his threat to destroy their city. Meanwhile a war is mounting between the colors Green and Orange.

The initial concept for this series first came to me in Summer 2006. Script development began in Sprint 2007. I started filming in February 2009. I put in about 102 hours of animating and countless hours of building, recording, editing and so forth. Used a bunch of new techniques (for me) – masking, blue screening and lip syncing.
