My new animatronic puppet...

[Manning]

Regular T-rockers will note I have been relatively absent for the last few months. I've been sidetracked on a TV project which is looking like it might get some traction.

The premise is a "Wiggles" type show for children of immigrants, conducted entirely in the native language. Culturally the show is a blend of western and heritage elements.

Anyway a good mate of mine (who is ex-Disney) named Dwayne Labbe designed our puppet characters, including our parrot "Lip Lip". A lecturer at AIE (Academy of Interactive Entertainment) named Oliver Cook modelled him in 3D and he was then built by Axtell Inc in California.

Any while he's not audio-related, he is sufficiently tech-geeky to be worth sharing. He is speaking Turkish if you are wondering.

Exciting new projects are fun, but no so fun when they take forever to happen.

Yeah it has taken 2 years or so, but it is all starting to come together.

And the fun is in the journey, etc, blah blah.
