Who?

Me. I'm David Blumenstein. I'm also Nakedfella Productions (ABN 84 42 376 0137), a producer of excellent and amusing illustration and animation, located in Melbourne, Australia.

What?

Nakedfella Productions (me) has been responsible for animated shorts including:

• the 22 minute epic called Herman, The Legal Labrador (2004), about a smart dog who works as a criminal defence attorney. The Herman site will tell you about the festivals it was in (lots) and the awards it won (two).

Shaun Micallef stars as an angry prosecutor.
Well, his voice does, anyway

• Kickin' It With Mr Flig (2005), one of the more nonsensical seven-part animated crime capers in recent history. It gets around, though.

• Badlands (2005), a forty second animated art-romp written by Adam Wajnberg, is surely one of the few films ever to screen at both the prestigious Sydney Film Festival and the slightly less prestigious Short Crap Film Festival.

• The Happiest Boy (2007), a music video for comedy-folk artist The Bedroom Philosopher.

The Bedroom Philosopher lets fly

Me and my dog

I've also been lucky enough to stay in freelance storyboard/animation work for the last few years, starting in 2003 with an animated intro for Channel Ten's The Panel.

More recently I've worked on some kids series (including Dogstar, currently airing on Channel Nine), adult series, websites, "viral" animations, etc. I do it, I like it, I have room for more. I hold a bachelor's degree in Fine Art, a graduate diploma in Animation & Interactive Media and a doctorate in pissfarting about (CV available on request).

This is where I live.

In my off hours, I write and draw a comic book called Nakedfella Comics which has a highly irregular publishing schedule. I'm also working on getting a fun animated cop show called The Precinct in front of your eyes. The development process is being detailed on The Precinct's production blog.

My turn-ons include The Beatles, '80s cop movies, vintage synthesizers and new junk food varieties. My turn-offs include having to push through crowds at nightclubs and the music they play at nightclubs.

Here's the MySpace and here's the YouTube. Good night!
