Casting Call!

Hello!

Johnny is now looking for local voice talents to help work on his current animated project. Unfortunately any positions will be unpaid but will provide aspiring voice artists an excellent piece of work for their portfolio. The roles are all suited to british/scottish accents and any applicants must be at least 18 years old and live in the Glasgow area.

newretro.blogspot.com is posting these roles weeks before anyone else. 

There are currently 3 roles available:

Role 1:

Character Age: 30s 

Character Sex: Female

Character Profile: A loving mother with a warm, reassuring voice.

Role 2:

Character Age: 40-100

Character Sex: Male

Character Profile: A deep, subtly menacing voice for one of many protagonists. An urbane, gentlemanly manner masks the nature of a ruthless predator.  

Role 3:

A voice for the narrator is also required.

Any interested applicants should contact Johnny at new-retro@hotmail.com

Dude, Where's My Updates?

Hi ... welcome back.

There's not been any updates on the blog recently because we've all been busy with other projects(read: university, work and various paying jobs).  

So what's been happening?

New Retros official site will soon be moving to a new address. Not sure if there's going to be a new 'look' yet or not but the aim is to rejuvenate the ...'thing'. 

Johnny's done scripting a new summer project (that's not 'S+B') which is hopefully going to emerge as a pilot for a six part children's television series. More news on that as it develops.

Check back soon - we're not dead yet!

"Sex Lines Are Expensive Comedy" Returns

"Sex Lines Are Expensive Comedy" is now online in full quality. 

"Sex Lines Are Expensive Comedy" was originally released in 2006 and was made by Scott Denny, Chris Carter and Johnny Herbin. It was shown at the Co-Operative Young Film Makers Festival 2006 and won silver standard at The IAC British International Amateur Film Festival. 

You can enjoy the video here. 

Update! Sixth Music Video?

Hey!
It's been too long. We've been away for months but are finally looking at bringing some new work online in time for the end of the year. So why so quiet for this long? Well to start off we've all moved into new homes. That in itself was pretty time consuming.
Chris Carter is now living in England but will undoubtably continue to contribute to future projects. He's had his hands full promoting the new X-Files movie this summer too. Scott Denny got engaged last month and has been very busy refurbishing his new house with Pam and Julia (who had her first birthday last month!). Johnny Herbin has been doing a work placement at 55Degrees in Glasgow so hasn't had the time to consider any other projects. Until now...

Talks have begun with a number of local bands for a potential sixth music video. Apologies for being so vague about things but cards are being played pretty close to chests at the moment. Hopefully we'll have a confirmation and announcement for people before the end of the month.

Special Video for "Facebook Fans"!

As an extra thank-you to "fans" (kind friends and relatives) we are uploading a special bonus video directly onto Facebook tonight.
