Building a Demo Reel.
Here at Hoggworks, we realize the importance of a demo reel to sell ourselves to clients. We need to have something not just to show to people who show up at our door asking for our services, but to send out to people who don’t yet know that they need us. Our previous work gives an indicator of what we’re able to do, certainly, but our work keeps getting better, and so we want to show not just what we have done, but what we can do.
To that end, our demo reel won’t be a series of clips from our earlier work. It will, in true obsessive fashion, be an entirely new creation, featuring our most technically complicated work. Our plan is bold and ambitious, and will doubtless require a substantial lack of sleep for a good number of months.
The rough outline of the reel is made, and we have, now, a decent idea of what setpieces will be featured, and how many new puppets will need be created.
Our current count for new puppets is 106.

106 new puppets? Blimey! And when do you except to accomplish this feat you’ve set before yourself?
It might be times like these when outsourcing some of your more laborious tasks to China become a viable option.

Did you delete my comment? I think you deleted my comment. Or maybe I wrote it up and never actually hit “Post,” I forget. Anyways, 106 new puppets? Damn!

Omigosh! It *magically* reappeared! Like… well, magic! Amazing!
(and for the record, this isn’t sarcasm I’m expressing, it’s deliberate embellished stupidity. Why? I dunno, I’m just feeling silly today.)

Also, you’re blog’s timezone settings appear to be misconfigured. (Sorry for all these extraneous comments)

A revised count takes it down to a much more manageable, yet still fairly insane, 56. Which is still, in and of itself, more than we’ve yet made in total.
