Pitchfork "Big Boi: West Palm Beach"

When Pitchfork needed someone to animate the tales stars of popular music jams had to tell, they got Dan Meth to bring them to life. And I got to sound design that the color into that life. Here's Big Boi of Outkast talking tour war stories:

Backstreet Warlocks

Here is an imagined vision of an alternate, dark universe. One where the Backstreet Boys are not a boy band but wizards doomed to a barren hellscape.

Voiced and created by Dan Meth, Matt Kaukeinen, and Rob Corradetti, sound design by me.

5 ON/ UGLY AMERICANS

Comedy Central's animated series "Ugly Americans" is created by Devin Clark and developed from a series of shorts he did for Comedy Central's website called 5 On. I worked on them with Devin in recording and sound designing. 5 On was a man-on-the-street, talk-of-the-town program interviewing 5 somethings (zombies, aliens...) on current events. Here's some of the originals.

5 Robot On Immigration

5-On: Robots on Immigration

5 Demons On The Environment

5 Zombies On Presidential Candidates

NITE FITE

W222's flagship news/talk/intensity program is Nite Fite. Co-created by Dan Meth and Myself, also playing the hosts Penalty and Lloyd, hot button topics are debated into absurdity.

Here is the original first episode, which was featured in Dan's Meth Minute series:



As a bonus, Dan wrote about how Nite Fite got started on his blog and posted a video about the behind-the-scenes (Thanks to Justin). Also, you can hear the original radio program that all the cartoons were born from here:

BOXHEAD AND ROUNDHEAD "THE THING IN THE DISTANCE"

The next short film in Elliot Cowan's Boxhead And Roundhead series is dark and mysterious adventure for the fellows and I am proud to help cloud it up with my sound design contributions. The film recently won a Golden Pencil Award at the prestigious 2D Or Not 2D Festival in Seattle, Washington.:

ATOM.COM: SPECIAL FEATURES

The next in the Dan Meth animation domination that I get to contribute to is "Special Features," a series of cartoons for Comedy Central's Atom.com. The first episode is a re-imagining of the new Star Trek prequel, but as an 80's/90's teen movie. Aside from the sound design, that's me as Bones and a bullying Klingon.

Special Features: Trek Yourself

The second is a spoof of all the movies they keep making from 80's toy and TV shows, taken to the next logical level of ridiculousness (fake trailers are fun sound work):

Toy Movies

PLAYBOY'S PLAY-MATION NATION


Yes, Playboy is also trying to get in on internet comedy cartoons with their Play-Mation Nation site. Dan Meth's "Big Apple Fornicators" did give me the chance to create the sound of mutant male genitalia, an opportunity I will likely not repeat. And if that's not disturbing enough, how about a computer store clerk who is also an unlikely authority on sex?

COLLEGE HUMOR

Here's a few of Dan Meth's cartoons for College Humor. First is the "Anatomically Correct Slow Jam," a clinically sensual quiet storm track, I got to record the song, voiced by talented Vincent:



This one is an episode of the College Humor staff's around-the-office series "Hardly Working." And Dan gave me a nice pile of sound effect fun to deal with on this one:

METH MINUTE 39

I've had the great pleasure of being the secret sound design weapon on many of the Meth Minute cartoons. They won a Streamy Award for "Best Animation In A Web Series." Here is a selection of my favorites:

Japandering


The Music Nerds


Sid & Nancy


Space Cowboy


Sex Machine


Wang Warriors

MURDER FM

Synthetic American is the film making outlet of Nathan Ryan, a long time friend of W222 Radio. The most recent SA release is Murder FM, a film about murder at radio statio, WNTR, sister station of W222. Much of it was filmed at W222 Studios, as was the post-audio work. You can see the trailer here, the entire film here or watch the embedded clip with some nifty action sound. And also the acting skills of yours truly, announcing the eponymous on-air death.

ORPHAN FEAST, Starring Creaky Tom




I did the sound work for an on-line video game, Orphan Feast. In it, you can be Creaky Tom, a creep old guy who goes around stuffing urchins into a sack to eat later!

It is created by Robox Studios for the website of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. You can play it HERE, or you can check out in this clip:

STANLEY KUBRICK BLOOPERS


Stanley Kubrick Bloopers from Dan Meth on Vimeo.

Here's another animation from Dan Meth. It was done originally for the Starz cable channel. It was for their website, but I don't think they ever used it. It is still funny. Not only did I help him with the sound, but I got to be Kubrick. The "funny" is all Dan.

SUPER BABIES

Here is a preview/trailer-type clip for a animated series called "SuperBabies." It was supposedly a little pilot/example that was for Queen Latifah's development company (that's not her voice in the clip). It never got that far. The project was dropped before they even finished this video. And SuperBabies became the title for Baby Geniuses 2.

But I did get paid to do some cool sound design for it.

TALK ABOUT IT: The Sports Podcast For Idiots




Talk About It is the Sports Podcast For Idiots. I produced the show for hosts Tim Curcio and Jackie Clark of the Upright Citizen's Brigade. The show has been dorman since Jackie moved to LA, but even if the bits aren't timely, the sports/talk/joking is still hilarious. You can check out all the episodes click here or listen to some of the highlights below:

PEEPER RADIO THEATER


Though dormant for a season or two, it is worth revisiting the ahead-of-its-time Peeper Radio. When friends Jeff Somogyi and Dave Pietrandria decided they liked old-time radio comedy programs so much as to make them for the internet, I was all aboard. We were fairly prolific for a while there. Then they re-named what we were doing "podcasting." See the website is here. Or enjoy this sampling:
