Red and white once again! We've restored the classic look of JoeCanuck.
............... one by DIC is traditionally animated, the other two are CGI.I storyboarded on the first animated one, back in 1995, for Studio B productions out of Vancouver BC. I was one of the lead 'board artists--first hired in fact, and 'boarded about 9 episodes.One of the little-known things is that myself and a fellow G.I.Joe/Action Man-collecting 'board artist tried to put in small in-jokes into the boards whereever we could. These jokes were references to G.I. Joe/Adventure Team and RAH--as well as homages to other things like favourite TV shows and movies ( Hard Boiled, UFO, Battle of the Planets etc).Some of the Joe-jokes were caught and removed ( phooey!), but some survived and were "translated" into the finished artwork (they were all visual gags).Sorry, but I don't remember any specifics as to which scenes or which episodes, because it was 15+ years ago now--but I do now we put in stuff like the AT Commander's head on a view screen, or a AT logo visible in certain spots. I do recall giving a helicopter a registry number that was "30516" which, if you reverse it, sort of looks like " GIJOE"....................
It had nothing to do with classic Action Man and felt VERY "90S EXTREME," but the Mainframe series was so much fun.
