Tsunami Tuna Premiere Party

Having a premiere party for a tv show you worked hard to create is the best. Here’s what we did to celebrate the first episode of Tsunami Tuna. It was a party to remember.

It was a star studded evening at the ECG offices as over sixty esteemed guests packed the halls for the premiere of Tsunami Tuna. Conceived over five years ago by show creators Jim Wilkie and Daryl Wilcher, Tsunami Tuna is a 3D cartoon for mature audiences animated using Maya and Aftereffects. The entire ECG crew has been working for over a year writing, storyboarding, animating, and even lending some voice talent to the project.

Tsunami Tuna was screened to an eager audience filling three of ECG’s office suites as well as the main screening space in the client lounge. The ten minute Tsunami Tuna pilot was received with a wave of applause, hopefully signaling a bright future for our favorite radioactive tuna and his mechanized dolphin friend.

ECG, Jim, and Daryl are working hard to find a home for Tsunami Tuna so that a wide audience can appreciate the adult humor and the subtle environmental message to preserve one of our most valuable resources: the ocean.
