New Chickenpants Round Up!

Yes, it's that time again. Time to lasso together all the new Chickenpants, line them up, and present them to the internets.
And there's a very special animated treat at the end of the post! Woo!
New this week:

Rocco, #216

Sporty!

Honey, #215


Julian, #212


Gus, #210

There's just something about that belt buckle...

and
Michael, #244

The release numbers are a little odd because these guys spent some time at shows. I've just recently got them back, so now it's really time for their debuts.

And finally, the long awaited new Chickenpants stop motion short: 2 Fast, 2 Furious: Living Room Drift!

You can also watch the video on YouTube or Flickr, if you prefer.

Hamster Car...part two!

As promised, here's a brand new Hamster Car/Chickenpants video:

(And you can watch HamsterCar on YouTube, if you're so inclined.)

New Chickenpants Stop Motion!

Drumroll please.
Moving three times in a year can really put a damper on things. Like making Chickenpants movies. It can just suck the will to move things around quarter inch by quarter inch right out of you.
Well, those times are over! Allow me to present the first Chickenpants movie in waaaaay too long: Let them eat cake!
Alas, it can only be viewed tiny here. Hop on over to Youtube to see it larger. (There are details people! Funny details!)
(here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwoCvTxQ9eo)
Enjoy! Rate it! Comment! All that good stuff! But mostly enjoy!
Update: it's also on Flickr, Blip.Tv, and Vimeo.

Behind the Chickenscope- The Making of Legend of Chickenpants

Here's a little short I put together. We filmed some behind the scenes type stuff when making The Legend of Chickenpants, and here it is all strung together.
It's also up on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSF_DPUnJ7c&feature=channel_page
But things just don't look as nice there.

Rabbit Bites + Chickenpants = A new video!

My very first video collaboration ever...and it's on Salon.com right now! (Yes...the front page!)

Here's the permalink, too, for alas, these things do not last.
This collaboration has been in the works for some time...proof that good things take time. (Wait...is that a saying? Hmmm.)
I hope you enjoy it!

It's done at last!!

The new Chickenpants movie is UP! It's part two of the Legend of Chickenpants, our ninja vs. pirate epic.
Doggelor strikes back!

I hope you enjoy it!
And here's the link in case the video above isn't working for some reason.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojy4AM_GhjI.

At last! The Chickenpants Pirate Epic!

Here it is- the long promised pirate/ninja epic:

It was the most involved one yet. We had five people working on the shoot. (And a dog)
Hope you enjoy it!
(Here's the link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anYNh4V6_Zw- just in case the above video isn't working for you for some reason.

Chickenpants Adventure #7 is up!

And it is very, very short. I put it together while I was away for the very extremely long weekend.

And here it is on Flickr, if you prefer.
Enjoy!

New! Chickenpants! Movie!

It's turned into summer here, my favorite time of the year. So here's a little short about that.

(also on Flickr)
Hope you like it!

Saturday Morning Cartoons

In true Chickenpants fashion! Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you the fifth installment of the Chickenpants Adventure series:

It's also up on Youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiV_DGY9980
I hope you like it. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Da da da, da da da da DA!

(imagine that is fanfare)
And now, because I simply cannot stop myself from making zero-budget stop motion filmlets:

THE FOURTH CHICKENPANTS ADVENTURE!
Enjoy!
(music is by A Band of Bees- I love, love, love that song, and have been dying to use it for a CP movie. A Band of Bees, if you are seeing this- please don't sue me. I love you.)
(Incidentally, this video is also on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixJwhVOvoOU.
It looks a little grainier there, I think.)

Mini videos from the show!

Hey, who doesn't love short, narrative-less, low-quality phone videos?
I've got a few here I just uploaded from the Tangent show. (plus one extra of Topanga)

The set up!


Chickenpants!


Pauline inspects another plush!


Topanga!

Plush me!

A little interview with me is up on Plush You! You can check it out at

And, to be nifty, I made this Chickenpants Adventure movie for it, too:

(Not that the movie has anything to do with Plush You. But, it does have a pug in a chicken hat.)

The Second Chickenpants Movie is Live!

Introducing the second Chickenpants Adventure-
"While The Bachelor's Away, The Chickenpants Will Play"

Enjoy! Link to it! Embed it elsewhere! Give it hearts and comments!

Thank you for watching!

Chickenpants! The Movie!

Ok, perhaps calling it a "movie" is a bit much. Let's call it a "featurette" or a "filmlet" or a "tiny bit of rough stop animation". Yeah, let's go with that last one. In any case, I am pleased to present the following:

I'm Absolutely Small, and I approve this message.

Anyway... I have wanted to make stop motion animation movies literally since I was a little kid. (I saw the Muppet Babies do it, and I was hooked. What can I say?) You know how they say a little information is a dangerous thing...well, I found out that I had everything I needed to make a stop motion movie. (except, perhaps, a tripod. Oh well!)
And thus, the Chickenpants Adventures were born.

Looks like we've managed to knock that contest post ever further towards the bottom of the page. Anyway, there's still time- if you haven't yet, please leave a comment down there if you'd like to win.
