Now it can be shown...

Our entry in the 48-Hour Film Project is now online. From our Director's account of the premiere, it went over very well:

The dead duck appeared on screen and you could hear a slight laugh of surprise—and more so when the camera pulled back to reveal the two rubber duckie hoods. Then Zack's titles came up and there was just an audible gasp as people realized, "Holy [duck], they made a cartoon!"

It's not perfect, but I'm proud of it, warts and all. Those warts will be removed when we make the Director's Cut (tweaking the animation and soundtrack, fixing a couple of glitches that showed up), but I'm not embarrassed to show it now.

Duck Sauce: A Mystery that Squeaks

That's the official release site, based at the company which makes the 3D software we used. However, I've also put up a larger version here; it's big, but it should start playing within a few seconds if you've got a broadband connection.

That's pretty amazing for just a 48 hour turn around. Cute script and characters. I especially liked the villian. He had some issues.

As Karen taught your nephew to say ad nauseum, Sweet! And sour sauce on the dinner you owe her for abandoning her to make this. Can't wait for the Director's Cut.
