Writing as I sit looking out the window at beautiful Kodiak Alaska. Visiting my son and family on the Coast Guard Base which is surrounded by stunning views and expanses of deep, blue ocean. For the next ten days I'll be taking a break from all the instructional and new business pitch videos Eric and I have been cranking out for our clients.
Having been newly released by my confidentiality agreement with Netflix, I can now discuss my series of interviews with "The Toys that Made Us" show they're currently producing. I was privileged enough to have written the commercials that launched both the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the eighties-I was 12 ;-) and the Power Rangers, both for Playmates Toys. I was very involved with TMNT advertising, writing most of the spots until '95, including creating the phrase "Heroes in a Halfshell."
In our interview with the Netflix folks both my business partner, Eric Hanson - who was the art director for both TMNT and Power Rangers product launches, and I shared a few "inside" stories about how these iconic toy brands were developed, as well as a few of the "hiccups" that happened along the way. Look for the episodes this fall!
Also, Eric and I were also invited by Playmates Toys to relaunch the Turtle advertising/toy line in 2012, when Nickelodeon re-issued the series and Playmates Toys created the updated action-figures and related products. You can view some of our awesome commercials at our website: http://www.creativecombustion.tv
Also, book 6 of the Alien Roadkill series is almost finished. Looking forward to getting out there fairly soon.
