Super Cafe: Episode 3

Submitted by Daniel on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 13:08
It's a new Super Cafe, ladies and gentlemen! A new cafe full of new faces! Enjoy episode 3, "Bros Before Marios".

So what is on the line up? Well, as you can guess by the end of the episode we are going straight for Avengers. And given that it opens tonight at midnight, you can guess where we will be the next few days. So, look forward to an Avengers HISHE in the next few weeks. I imagine I have a lot of work in store because all i have heard is that Avengers is amazing. (shakes fists at everyone who wouldn't hook me up with a screening pass)

But before Avengers we are also rapidly approaching completion of another big title in video games. A little something called, Skyrim. Otis illustrated this one and it looks incredible! I really like how its turning out. Look for that on Machinima in the near future.

So three shorts. Super Cafe, Bam! out and here today. Skyrim, almost done finishing this week. And Avengers, Starting it tonight at midnight (or...tomorrow if skyrim lets me leave the house) And that's the plan! Back to work! -later friends

Tanooki Tease

Submitted by Daniel on Mon, 04/30/2012 - 13:58

We've got several things stirring in the pot right now, but first will be this week's short.  Here's a little teaser of a certain character to be featured.

But where is he going to go???  It's a mystery. :) Come Thursday I'll give an official announcement about the other shorts we are working on.   But for now, you'll just have to enjoy Tanooki Mario.

Hunger Games = 90

Submitted by Daniel on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 11:43

It's here! Time for some Hunger Games HISHE! Please enjoy our latest addition. If you want to leave a comment, or read more on the short, you can HERE in the forum.

Hope you guys enjoyed it!

For those keeping count, this basically counts as our 90th video, which looking at that number typed out right now really freaks me out. HOW did we get to 90 vids???? It's probably more close to 75-80 if you count all the "non animated" stuff, BUT STILL That's a lot! Shesh! 90! On top of that wonderful milestone, we're also about to reach 700,000 subscribers any second now! That equally freaks me out (in a good way). We had 500k in December of last year and it's already grown that much in 4 months?  Holy Cow!  It's incredibly humbling to see that number, but also so so gratifying to know people still enjoy our shorts. :) Thank you guys so much for continuing to support our work you guys. It means the world to me and I can't tell you how excited we are about these stats. ((((((hugs))))))) 

ANYWAYS... 90th video. Where will we be when we hit 100? It's probably coming faster than I am ready to realize, but I think we should have a huge party at 100 either way. Partaaaaay! 

Okay, later friends! I gotta get back to the stuff. Hope you guys enjoyed Hunger Games! Thanks for watching!

Face To Face

Submitted by Daniel on Tue, 04/03/2012 - 12:09
Take the idea of Space Ghost Coast to Coast and replace it with Weird Al and you've got Face to Face with "Weird Al" Yankovic. I can already tell I am going to enjoy this series.





May the odds...

Our next project is Hunger Games!

This is turning into the year for games hishe's. game of shadows, game of thrones... x-men had a chess game, but that shouldn't count. Plus that was technically last year. Anyway, thought you all would like to hear what's to come. Hunger Games, here we come.

Game of Thrones

Submitted by Daniel on Thu, 03/29/2012 - 11:55
We've added a new element to our animation, "Shortcuts". For the HISHE fan on the go, all the same style but in a smaller dose. Actually it's just so we can make more shorts. :) When we've got a single scene/skit/joke or whatever but it just doesn't fit under the full length HISHE category, then it's a shortcut. So we will see where it goes. And to kick it off we are making our first shortcut based on my opinion of Game of Thrones Season One. Hope you guys like it. I'm a fan of GoT (the show not reading the books), although I wasn't at first, it completely sucked me in and by the time you get to the bridge scene I was basically shouting at the tv, "I DEMAND JUSTICE! Teach that boy a lesson Sansa! come on! Do something of worth for ONCE!" So that's where the short comes from. If you disagree with the opinion that's completely fine with me. It's all meant as a spoof you know. I'm really excited for season two.

Well I'm off to the next short. I'll announce it tomorrow. I'm sorry to tell gamers it's not Mass Effect 3. Although I really want to take it on. If I can ever get time to play through it, or if Machinima wants to make it part of their collection, then it could happen sooner. It's cool to see so many requests for it though. Your voices are being heard, gamers!

Ok, back to work. See ya!

Pulp Fiction HISHE

Submitted by Daniel on Mon, 03/19/2012 - 12:08

It's finally completed and our first Tarantino HISHE is online! Please enjoy Pulp Fiction: How it Should Have Ended.  It was very challenging to get through this one, but it was also a great joy to go back and absorb a film that was so influential when I was younger. I only wish we could have made it longer :) Oh well, gotta make the best out of the time we got right? If you'd like to read more on the short, the Forum Link is HERE.

Thanks for watching!  I'm off to... well... make more cartoons.  I'll be around.  Hope you guys like the short! 

-later friends!

Assassin's Creed HISHE

Submitted by Daniel on Tue, 03/06/2012 - 10:44

Since the oscars, things have been moving very rapidly. Assassin's Creed HISHE is in the can, working on Pulp Fiction, another Super Cafe, Behind the Scenes and more, plus Kiddo decided to want to go to the emergency vet the other day and give me a panic attack (He's fine btw) Just keepin on keepin on.

So Assassin's Creed is finished, I think Otis went above and beyond on the artwork for this one. I had a good time animating the action since there was so much range to play with. Special thanks to Otis, he rocks. Here is the video on Machinima for those who would like to view.

Congratulations Moonbot

Submitted by Daniel on Mon, 02/27/2012 - 12:12

It's a very proud day today!  Our friend of the family, Brandon Oldenburg, did something last night you, or I, or Harry Potter didn't do. He won an oscar.  A Real One.  Last night my friends and I watched a guy we've known almost our whole lives walk up the Kodak Theater Stage on international television and except an academy award for his animated short film "The Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore." It has been so incredibly exciting to see our friends and his family freak out via facebook in sharing their excitement, and rightfully so. It's not every day someone you know personally gets a huge award like that. So this post is really just a Congrats post. Brandon I'm sure will never even see this, But I just wanted to go on record that HISHE is super proud to know him, but more proud to see him succeed.  Way to go man! I hope that means a new full length feature is coming our way!

As for his short film, you guys should really check it out if you haven't seen it.  From a technical side, It's a very impressive mix of stop motion and computer animation, but the story is where it really shines. It's worth the itunes buy i'm telling you.
