I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

As you mave have seen last night or at channel102.net we decided to retire Cakey! The Cake from Outer Space early and stop making the show by self-cancelling with a seven minute episode (coincidentally the same time as the other puppet show and our rival for the top slot Puppet Rapist did the same thing).

I really like making these 102 shows… it’s the first thing I’ve worked on in a while that I really get into and get nervous about when they’re screened. However, we haven’t taken any time off in a year—we jumped from one show to another without stopping—and the strain of doing (for us) a really technically involved show was wearing on us. Since we’re only a three person crew… who all kind of live together and shoot in the apartment, it was getting really claustrophobic.

I think both Kirk and I had a lot of other Cakey stories to do (Duncan becomes a superhero, Duncan joins the football team, Cakey runs a-foul of a paranormal expert, the science fair, etc.), but they just took so much time to shoot and edit. Our actor for “Dad” is moving to LA next month as well.

I don’t really want to be “out,” but maybe we’ll individually trying working with different crews or on our own projects. Or not do anything, who knows.

Thanks for following Cakey.
