The Birthday Post

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMARI!

This first post is for you, little nephew. Your birthday is next week and this is your early present.

You are officially informed that your uncle Lamont is making an animated cartoon based on you. That's right, you. This cartoon was originally supposed to be completed by your birthday. However, a good friend of mine told me that you would probably like being a part of making this cartoon and watching it as it was made more than actually getting a cartoon, and I agreed. So, you are also going to be the voice of your own cartoon superhero. We are recording the voices for your cartoon on the Monday after your birthday, September 28th. I have sent your mom a copy of the script so you can read the story and practice your lines! Bralyn has a small role in your cartoon too.

Also, you should know that the Jamari cartoon is going to be part of Amazement Square's International Children's Film Festival. I will be making a presentation on Saturday and will be showing pre-production work from your cartoon. You and Bralyn are invited to attend, of course. Nana will come and pick you up.

This website is dedicated to the creation of your cartoon. Check back whenever you want to see artwork and animation as we go along. If the project turns out good enough, my friend Brian (who's helping me make the cartoon) and I may send the cartoon to film festivals and we may develop the cartoon as an animated series for the internet. We will have to wait and see.

Above, you can see some of the art from the film.

But for now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I hope you have fun with this ( I am! ), and your cartoon is slated for a Christmas premiere.
