Wow, cool! Slightly creepy, as of course all super-8 puppet movies should be so that's fine! :)

How about a Rabbit side kick.

His name would be "Jack" of course. :lol:

Hi,

of course the "foxmobile" has to be a chrome-version of an ekka (an Indian carriage drawn by one horse/cow/whatever). So it could be called "ekka-chrome" ;)

I dunno, I tend to prefer a benji kind of cute versus creepy.

If you know the fox is creepy, and while filming a chick walks up and goes, "ahhh, how cute", what should one think??? 8O

Does Agent Fox get a pretty red-haired partner, or does he just have to dream of Gillian Anderson like the rest of us? :oops:

As a closet "punchman", I like to see puppets used these days.

Have you guys put anythought to how you will handle sound? Will there be dialog or dialog cards?

Best Regards

mmm, looks a bit like DangerMouse from the front. which is the highest form of complement I can bestow! I would quite like the film to be silent with really gaudy coloured dialogue cards emblazoned with lightning flashes and stars and stuff.

Brilliant!

That would be rather funny... to have "BAMM" or "POW" blaze across the screen like an old Batman TV show.

I could make him a bit more subdued around the mouth, perhaps remove the teeth. Then he will look more friendly and not so aggressive.

Remember, he's going to have a hat and trench coat. These items will make him look a bit more stylish.

Then there is the communications watch, kind of Dick Tracy type. It will allow for some special efffects upon close up. Like shots of the "Boss" on the screen.

Dialog is up to you. If you want it, I will only need to know the words on a cue card or dialog sheet. They will be dubbed in later during edit. I have a voice over guy that is amazing. In fact, I may put his Sample audio track on the web so you can hear his abilities for yourself. He's quite good.

Trust me, this film will be a smash hit!

:lol:

And then let's have an asterisk with each soundword saying "The producers of this show would like to apologize for being so cheap as to use text cards for sound!" :lol:

This is the link to the sound bit of my friend who does voice overs.
He could do the voice tracks for the Puppets.
