I just posted a new episode of In Teh Toobs. In this latest report from Commander Riley, he takes us on a tour of his ship, the STFU-1138, and shows us where he lives and works.

It took me quite a while between episodes which was frustrating because I’ve been wanting to put them out at the rate of one per week. The trouble with that plan is the way I’ve been attacking the work. Rather than organizing myself as I would for a regular television or film production I’ve been treating this as more of an art project – which is just another way of saying I’m a lazy ass procrastinator.

As the show develops I’ve been discovering other themes that I want to explore with it and what was once supposed to be a simple talking-head vlog with a dog puppet has evolved into something a little more – ambitious.

Hopefully, as I continue to iron out the various technical and masturbatory artistic wrinkles associated with my supremely fat headed vision for In Teh Toobs the process of making the shows will become more of a routine – a fun routine – allowing me to post new episodes each week. The effort that went into this show was not in the shooting or the editing or the creation of the CG elements – the bulk of the time was taken up with thinking.

So I guess the lesson is: Don’t think about it, Mills. Just fucking do it.

I do plan on doing a video post here showing off how I make In Teh Toobs but I figured actually making the show was more of a priority at this stage.

Cheers.

P. S. I always appreciate your comments here but please be sure to visit the actual show site and leave a comment for Riley there. Your participation will make the show come alive. And be sure to tell your friends. Thanks.

P. P. S. And a special thanks to Ze Frank for giving me permission to include his mug design amongst the trappings of Riley’s ship.
