Lynn Wang & I directed, wrote, animated, and composited it with Andrea Fernandez & Trevor Spencer providing art direction, design and layout. Also a huge thanks to them and Megan Lacera for co-writing and doing story for this episode along with Debbie Sterling and Beau Lewis. Our Beautiful backgrounds were painted by Angelo Vilar and the awesome soundtrack was done by Nick Keller. A full list of credits is available in the YouTube description.
The cartoon is featured in a FREE APP called GoldieBlox and the Movie Machine, available now on iTunes where you can animate and make your own movies using photos, stamps and a bunch of slick drawing tools. If you have kids or little cousins or nieces/nephews I’d recommend it. I already got to play around with it and it’s really easy to use and you can make some super funny stuff. And if you’re really digging it, you can actually print out your animations and use them in the real-life GoldieBlox Zoetrope toy available on their website. It works crazy well and is really awesome to see in real life.
Also Goldie is voiced by Emily Haines!! Emily Haines of Metric?? WHAAAAT!??! Yes. That Emily Haines.
You can also check out more sweet stuff at Bloxtown.com (it’s really cute)and Goldieblox.com. Thanks for watching guys!!! 😀
Really excited and proud to have worked on this thing with a FANTASTIC team of people! Give it a watch if you have the time! 🙂
