FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who the hell are you?
Just a brother trying to make it as a writer in L.A. Orlando's Joint is one of my projects - I also write screenplays, and plays, and I'm a member of Moving Arts Theatre Co. My goal is to make a living full time as a writer - working as a staff writer on a TV series, writing scripts freelance, or taking OJ to the next level.

What do you use to animate?
If you can call it animating... I use Macromedia Flash. After I got the idea to do OJ as a 'toon, I learned just enough Flash to do the basics. I still ain't an expert (and one day I'd rather leave the animating to the legit animators), but I learn a few more tricks with each episode.

Are you looking for voice actors?
I am damn lucky to work with some extremely talented and hilarious actors who bring my crazy characters to life. And while I'd love to provide work for all the other talented folks out there, I usually go with people I know.

Why don't the episodes drop quicker?
Hey, I'd love to work on OJ full-time, but then those bills show up and the real world kicks in. I appreciate everyone who digs my crazy 'toon, but until OJ starts to pay for itself, I only have so many hours in a day that I get to do what I love. So buy some gear from the store, click on some banner ads, get me a spot on Adult Swim... do whatever you can, and I'll keep on pluggin' to bring more OJ your way.

I've got a cool idea for a film/TV show/cartoon, will you do the animation for it?
If you're crazy enough to want me to animate for you after watching OJ... I'm not sure I wanna know what kinda ideas you've got! Seriously, I love helping people out with their projects if I can, but I can't stress this enough - I'm not an animator. Don't want to do it for my project, let alone somebody else's. Now if an animator came to me looking for someone to write something for them to animate, THAT would be cool...
