Here’s the first of those, it’s called “Death Bat 4.”  It’s basically a scene taken from the middle of an imaginary low budget 1970s horror film.

As for the blog – right now I’m just using it to post video updates, but I have a major site change happening soon that will make the blog a bigger part of FilmCow.  When that happens I’ll be reguarly posting behind-the-scenes stuff and tutorials, etc.  SO STAY TUNED MY FRIENDS.

There’s a lot of backstory behind this cartoon.  Bino is actually the very first character I can remember creating – I used to do “Bino the Elephant” skits into a tape recorder when I was seven.  So I’ve been wanting to turn him into a cartoon for a while now!

The theme song was written by Logan Whitehurst a few years back, about a year before he died.  I hope he would have liked the intro sequence I ended up creating with it.  Thanks, Logan.
