Cartoon Saloon’s ‘Old Fangs’ – Behind the Scenes (Video)

At the moment, I’m trying to get on top of a huge backlog of photos and video footage that has been building over the past few months. First up; behind the scenes of ‘Old Fangs‘, a brand new animated short film from the Cartoon Saloon, written and directed by Adrien Merigeau.

I have to say I was quite excited when I was asked to provide a voice for an animated character. I’ve done a little voice acting before, but not for animation, and who doesn’t want to be in a cartoon!? Especially a cartoon that’s going to look awesome; CHECK IT OUT!

To the best of my knowledge, the recording took place sometime in January!? It’s a little blurry because we were in the middle of shooting Vultures episodes 5 & 6. Myself, John Morton & David Thompson took a break from filming to provide voices for the characters of Fox, Cat & Wolf with Paul Young (Legend!) joining us as the voice of Father Wolf.

I’ve already seen a rough assembly of the short (it looks great) but at the moment I’m not sure of the release date. You can get more information here on the Old Fangs’ Blog which is filled with artwork, sketches and even an animated sneak preview.

I’d like to say a huge thanks to Adrien, Jennifer, Alan and indeed all of the lovely people in Cartoon Saloon for the opportunity to work with them. Also thanks to Davey Holland, the engineer in Brodericks Studios. Thank you all for your patience! Voice acting can be incredibly nerve wrecking; trying to nail the mood and tone, constantly having to tweak words or even sentences. But despite my struggle, it was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to see ‘Old Fangs‘.

I also have to say one final thanks to Greg and the lads from Parhelia for letting me use their awesome music.
