Over the Zune

Our video podcast, Monkey Pirate Zombie TV is now a featured podcast on Zune.net (which is basically Microsoft's answer to iTunes). It's featured in the comedy section here. I'm not sure how we ended up on there, but a big thanks to anybody who may have been responsible!

Lovebytes episode 6!

Here it is the first new animation of the year, of the decade even! It was meant to be done before Christmas but stuff got in the way. This follows directly on from the last episode in that it reuses a character from the Big brother animation but with a new take on the character. The character was initially played by my lovely friend but long story short I had to recast- and was able to take the character in a new direction. It now features a fantastic performance by a brilliant actress named Annabelle Bay.

Warning: Contains adult humour

You can watch it here. (Flash version) OR watch it/download it here as the podcast.

The Defiant One

In collaboration with Proving Ground, I am finally able to bring you the finished article of the animation i've been working on for some time now The Defiant One. It's a music video- the first full length one I've produced, and it's the first for Proving Ground as well. The second single from Proving Ground's Album Through the Red Door, this video is a dark and violent look at a war between angels and demons, and the effects of betrayal. It's avaialble in lovely shiny HD on Youtube, or you can watch it in it's original flash form here on this very site. Finally, it is avaialble to download as a podcast episode. However you prefer to watch it, make sure you check it out!

Podcast update

The HD version of leprocop has been released as a Podcast episode. Sadly the HD version won't be compatible with ipods (not with mine anyway), but you can play it on your computer if you can run quicktime (.mov) files.

Through The Red Door

I can finally reveal what I've been working on now. A little while ago, Paulo (you may know him as The Protector, the very talented composer of the MPZ theme among others) asked me to make a video to promote the release of his upcoming third album with his band Proving Ground. In typically overambitious fashion I set to work on a zombie epic. Eventually I had to scale back my ambitions slightly but I'm pleased with the result. It's my first action animation, and is quite different in style to anything else I've done to date, so I'd be interested to hear if you'd like to see more in the same vein. A word of warning- it contains violence against zombies.

Click here to watch the high quality Flash version (recommended) or you can see it on Youtube here (less high quality). Proving Ground's new album is due this spring, and the first single is being released on 13th of March, so if you like the music you can buy it soon! Visit their site here

MPZTV 20: best of monkey pirate zombie 2008

I've put together a little special episode of the podcast that brings together the best of the episodes from the last year or so ( Trailer Trash episode 7 is actually from last year, but lets not get too picky). Seemed like about the right time for it. Check it out here or subscribe or check out past episodes from here.

Podcast update

A bonus episode has been released of the podcast. Click to check it out, or here to subscribe. The episode is the only episode of Happy Bunny that never appeared in the podcast. Originally it was interactive- you could choose an alternate ending. Now the interactivity has gone, but you can still enjoy all 3 endings. This animation is a couple of years old, so the animation isn't my best but it's here for completions sake.

NEW: pickles the clown

A First here at Monkey Pirate Zombie Towers today- as we present the first MPZ musical toon. It's short and there's not much to it, but hopefully you'll enjoy it!

It's online here and available to download as the latest Podcast episode. You can also see the Flash original here, but I recommend the podcast version as for reasons I can't even begin to understand the sound goes out of sync when I upload it- although it may just be my machine. Anyway- off you go to meet Pickles!
