CEC Babies

[CEC Babies]

Hello Everyone! I know it's been a few years since we've been on the forum, but we're back and with a new picture to share with you! Here's a 2010 updated picture of the CEC Babies! We've been very busy over the last few years trying to remodel them, so they look more like their Adult versions! The main one who we knew really needed a make over was Baby Jasper! So with the help of my friend IsabellaPrice and her amazing drawing of Baby Jasper I stumbled upon while looking through the fan art section, she was kind enough to give us permission to us her design of Baby Jasper to use for our cartoon. THANKS AGAIN ISABELLA! lol So anywho! We then thought " Since we are remodeling Baby Jasper, why not do the same with the rest." So this is what we got. Hope you all like it!!!


(Here's what they look like now!!!!) 10671068 (And here's what they use to look like!)


As you can see, we changed Baby Helen's pigtails from black and white to just yellow! Baby Chuck E is pretty much the same, just less shaggy looking. We made them all pudgier than almost pencil thin in the past. There is also a Baby Munch one on the way soon as well! So now I know most of you out there are like "What happened to the CEC Babies cartoon you guys were suppose to make, LIARS!!!" lol :)) well....We're not lying, we have not even begun to give up on this project!!! My brother has been taking professional animation classes as I have been taking a Creative Writing Course in High School that has really improved my story writing for the CEC Babies Cartoons. We have also recently received a new animation software called "Toon Boom" which I heard has been credited for making numerous well known cartoons such as Spongebob Squarepants. We also purchased a new printer/scanner to allow us to scan pictures on to the animation software to color it and animate it. WE ARE VERY SERIOUS NOW! We decided to take a fresh start to the project because to tell you the truth, back then my brother and I weren’t really prepared for the animation process like we thought we were. So right now, I have finished 3 stories and my brother and I have already started storyboarding 2 stories. We are also thinking how we can plan to get Voice Actors to voice the Babies and the Adults, whether we want to hold an open casting call here or just us do it all on our own. Lol we’ll see! We have not scheduled a certain date for the episode to release, but the year we are setting our eyes on is early 2011! Also I have been thinking that Pasqually should be older than the other Babies, like 10 years old. (Sorry if this displeases Pasqually fans out there...tell me what you think and I'll probably change my mind, I just did that because he really didn't fit in with some of my stories! So I decided to leave him as the character the babies could always go to for advice. Let's see what you guys think!


Phew! Ok I think I caught up a few years. lol Let me know how you all think the picture is, there are more to come!

P.S: Once again, I want to thank IsabellaPrice again for her permission for us to use her Baby Jasper design! WOOOHOO!!!! :)

[dook97]

OMG That pic is really cool! How long will the story run?

[CEC Babies]

I plan for the series to run a maximum of 10 episodes (depending on our production time). If it looks good, I'll talk to my brother about doing 5 more! I've even finished a x-mas story for CEC Babies special back in 09! :) If any of you have any cool ideas to share to make the series a lot more interesting, tell me!

[zeekeroo]

Wow! It looks good! It sounds good!

I can't wait!

If you want any help with voice acting or soundtrack editing don't hesitate to PM me!

[Vega III CEC]

I totally want to see a doppelganger somewhere in the series if you haven't thought of that already. It's looking fantastic from the previews. I'm sure it'll be really awesome once you start making these!

[CEC Babies]

Here's a picture of Baby Munch from the CEC series!

Baby Jasper T. Jowls
Baby Munch
Pasqually
Buster (Baby Chuck E's mean Cousin).
Carol Cheese (Baby Chuck E's Mother).

Jeremy Jowls (Baby Jasper's Father).
Jeanette Jowls (Baby Jasper's Mother).
Melvin (Baby Munch's Father).

Other characters will be casted in the future, but these are the must have at this point in time!

[captslappy]

Dolli Dimples as the nanny.

[Vega III CEC]

Say, if you ever want to show the parents' faces feel free to use my designs on them, unless you've already got some ideas in your mind/on paper. It's awesome you named Chuck's dad Nolan, because I figured it was a no-brainer name for him. Great minds think alike, hehe. ^_^

[CEC Babies]

LOl this is soooo funny Vega III CEC, I saw your drawing of Chuck's parents in the past and said that it would be swell if he would let us use those designs! Yes we would love to use these designs!!!! Their perfect!!!!! Thank You soo much! You just saved us a lot of character modeling time!!!


Dolli Dimples as the nanny.

Yes! Thank you for making me think of a new episode just now! She's perfect for that!

[Vega III CEC]

Glad to be of some help there! Little known fact is I'm a girl. I've disguised myself well. :)) It's totally cool though. It wasn't really difficult or time-consuming for me because I'd mulled the idea over in my mind for some time, and looked at Chuck's designs over the years to come up with something feasible. Feel free to change what they're wearing if you don't like the clothes, I certainly wouldn't mind. :) I'm not exactly a fashion designer or anything, haha.

[Isabella Price]

I'm SO looking forward to this! :D And, you are quite welcome! I'm glad I could help!

[dook]

DSodn't they have pics of CEC babbies in the toddler zone( i think its called that) they have pics of CEC babbies. What about passqually as a babby

[CEC Babies]

Oh yeah that's right! I remember those paintings that were hung up in the toddler zone! To me personally, and no disrespect to the artist who did them because that's not the kind of person I am but to me they weren't very good. Helen looked a lot like the adult version just in a toddlers body. Chuck E face looked scrunched up. Once again no disrespect, but that is just my opinion. Oh and for Pasqually in the series...we need to know what you all think because we were thinking of just letting him be older than the babies (like at least 8 years of age). He would be sort of the person the babies can get information from when things are going wrong. Please don't any Pasqually fans get angry with me! lol If any body feels differently about this please tell me. He was originally 5 years old.


I'm SO looking forward to this! :D And, you are quite welcome! I'm glad I could help!

YYYYAAAAYYY!!!! I haven't talked to you in a MINUTE!!! lol Glad you are looking forward to the series.

[dook]

yeah. i cant wait to see more

Espescially if pizza ovens get involved. It'd be better to let an adult handle the oven.

Nicely pointed out Kilid! :)

[raebigc]

hey, can I join the cast???

[zeekeroo]

hey, can I join the cast???

He's going to be putting out an open call for auditions soon.

[CECfan1234]

I think you should have them meet up with Pasqually and Munch,then they should like little shows to entertain their parents and plush animals! :)

[Partyhog]

I have an idea for maybe the 3rd epsiode. Chuck E finds his C hat somewhere like in a park and thats how he gets how he gets his hat! Just an idea...

[CEC Babies]

Ok everyone I have Big CEC Babies news. WE FINALLY PUT UP A YOUTUBE PAGE! FOR OUR CARTOONS!!!!


Though they are shorts! They give you a taste of what the cartoons are suppose to be!

The "Meet Baby Helen" promo cartoon short is up right now. There will be a Baby Jasper one coming up soon!


We also have a Welcome Page video as well. It's there simply to welcome you guys!

Well..I hope you guys will like what you see...which is very little right now.


The link to the "Meet Baby Helen" video links is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd8eMjNnEu0

[Beach Bear]

Hmm... I'm thinking of helping out. I can do a mean voice for Buster. And probably a couple others. I want to see this completed. Could you send me over some of the characters that still need to be done, and some sample lines for each to disneyspider1524@yahoo.com?

[Elkonj€ohn]

Do you guys still need a voice for Pasqually?

[zeekeroo]

I see your using Windows Movie Maker. If you want any help editing, shoot me a line, I have professional software.

But the demos look great! Can't wait to see what you're gonna do!

[Harmony Howlette]

Saw the Helen promo - looks really cute! Looking forward to seeing what else you guys come up with :)

Thanks Harmony, I'm glad you liked it! :)


Here is a picture my bro drew just for fun so you guys would know what the Baby Jasper promo would be about.

Sadly because of my Musical Theater rehearsals, we've not been able to start on the promo. But we're gonna start tomorrow and it takes from 1 to 2 days to complete.

NOTE: We are going to be holding voice acting auditions sometime in mid August for THE ROCK-A-Fire Babies We're getting the voices early so we will have them when it's time to do one of our planned CEC Babies specials CEC BABIES V.S THE ROCK-A-FIRE BABIES!!!! Scheduled to be completed by Summer 2011!!!! :D

[captslappy]

You probably need to clear that with CEI first.

[Partyhog]

Yeah, Aaron could go all CoPyRiGhT SmAsH on you if you dont. I would point it out that it wouldnt be sold or used for promotional uses, just for a fan made cartoon.

[captslappy]

Right with past issues and people using the RAE without his permission, I would definitely recommend writing a very nice email and including a link to what you've done with CEC Babies. By the way, I wanted to commend you on the short clip of Helen. I'll admit, I've been very skeptical about how this was going to come out and if it was ever going to actually come together. From the little bit of what I saw I thought it was really well done and am looking forward to seeing more. I can't wait for a full ep. I really hope Aaron will give you the green light to do the same thing with the Rock-afire Explosion.

Same here. I'm glad to see stuff getting done though.

OMG That's right, I feel bad for not doing that in the first place :(

Yeah that's how I plan to approach it.

Yeah that's just what I'll do. Does anybody know Aaron's email address?

Wasn't thinking. I'll leave a very kind email. Thanks you guys!!! And I'm glad you guys like what we're doing so far. :)


P.S: Sorry about the double post. lol

Hey everyone! We finally posted the CEC Babies Pilot Episode out on You Tube! Hope you guys like it!

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbYnW1rWn_0

This is our first time ever doing a cartoon for a minute in a half. So please excuse any errors we may have. lol This was a project for my brother "Austin" in his Summer Animation program. Time was running out and some of his co- workers had to help ink some of the scenes. But in doing so, kind of made the out lining look...how can I say this nicely.....oh! I've got it..."Crummy" lol.

Our NEW CEC Babies Episode entitled: "That's the way the Cookie Crumbles" is in production as we speak!

Baby Chuck E and Jasper are voiced by Daniel Williams and Baby Helen is voiced by Alyssa Traylor.

How you guys like it! =)

P.S: The next episode will be longer.

I love it! You do this with flash right? If not I highly recommend you start learning episodes can be made rather quickly with flash and repeated movements can also be done quite easy. But you must keep this up though!

[CEC Babies]

Lol Thanks! We use an animation software called "Toon Boom Studios" I heard it was used to make cartoons such as Sponge bob etc. but yes once we get the money to buy the right software lol I think we might switch to flash. And thanks Beach Bear for commenting. =)

[ChuckEFranchize454]

Great job I loved it. The animation blew me away! Definetally a winner!

[Harmony Howlette]

I didn't realize you guys had actually finished an episode - nicely done! I really dig the animation as Helen is describing 'the box' to Chuck and Jasper, her expressions are great. Also, kudos on doing things frame-by-frame rather than using a ton of tweening in flash or something, haha. It makes a world of difference!

I have a couple of really minor suggestions, but don't want to give them out unsolicited - if you'd like to hear them, let me know and I'd be more than happy to share :)

that was so kool, i hope Dept. 18 picks this up as an intermission, great start off to an awesome series!

Well if that's easier than flash, that's also fine. If you want to go the "don't fix what's not broken route" that's probably best if you've never picked up flash before. I'd hate to see the quality degrade with the flash cross-over.

Frame-by-frame can be done with flash as well. People just rather do tweening now-indays. I'll tell you back in 1990-something we didn't have all these fancy-pants-tweening and morphing functions in our flash programs. We had to take every darn frame and edit it one by one. LOL

But seriously, tweening can actually save the animator TONS of time and in the process allow the animator to go back and fix up other parts or add detail to another part without having to redraw things. You'd simply have to edit your symbol, tweak your start and end frames if needed, and vola!

But we're not here to have a debate about tweening vs. tradition frame-by-frame. LOL

Darn! Beat me to it. I was just about to post that suggestion but yeah, he's right.

Oh yeah, I know - I've always done frame-by-frame in flash. It just seems that a lot of people totally abuse the tweening function and use it as a crutch. It looks really lazy and cheap when EVERYTHING is tweened.


No problem at all, "Share Away!!"
Here goes -
I just wanted to say that I personally thought the gradients on the characters were a little too dark - is there a way you can lighten them up a little? I think it'd make the whole presentation brighter and clearer.

Again, that's just personal opinion - I think the final product turned out nicely, and you guys should totally be proud of yourselves :)

[zeekeroo]

I left some tips as a comment on YouTube, but I'll share it here too.


Love it!

Keep up the good work! But just some tips - don't put in awkward pauses (Like 0:37 ) and when a song ends, I'd suggest not to just stop it, (Like 1:09 ) fade it out.

Can't wait for the next one!


Like Harm said, just my opinion, but it's not my film.
And, I, of course, understand that any type of film-making takes LOADS of practice and hard work. This clip isn't ready to win an Oscar, but if you keep practicing, you'll get better.
