  • The PVD Improv Fest Will Have You Laughing to Bits,Pronk! Celebrating
    Peter Cullen and Frank Welker Are More Than Meets the Eye Few cartoons and actions figures are as iconic, popular and recognizable as Transformers. Whether you grew up with the ’80s TV series, the original 1988 film or even the current blockbuster franchise, you most likely know the difference between an Autobot and a Decepticon. The original voices behind the eternal foes Optimus Prime and Megatron, Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, each have been doing voice work for over 50 years, and I was excited to talk with them in advance of their appearance at RI Comic Con. Rob Duguay (Motif): When you were approached to do the voices for the Transformers cartoon in the ’80s, what was your reaction? Peter Cullen: I remember being very curious about it. It was so new, so different from anything I had ever done or seen before. That is because there were no cute funny characters of all sorts of voice ranges, but simply an assortment of metal robots that fought for good or evil. It was more real life than cartoons. I was asked to read a few characters including Prime, and that opportunity proved to be a once in a lifetime. The words were perfect, some advice from my brother Larry — who is also a personal hero of mine — and the rest is history. Frank Welker: I was not familiar with the franchise at all, but loved the characters and the art. They were different than anything I was working on at the time. It was fun to play so many characters and of course I had the opportunity to be the big bad boy and I loved doing him and still do.

  • Sample Chapters. - Bio + Contact
    CONTENTS. - hello. - overview + design. - talent highlights. - marketing + pr. - competitive analysis. - sample chapters. - bio + contact. DAVID CROSS HELLO. Hi. Welcome. Mandee Johnson here, one of the producers and creators of The Super Serious Show. Joel Mandelkorn, my co-producer and partner is here too... We started The Super Serious Show in the summer of 2010 at a time when the independent comedy scene in Los Angeles was lacking shows presented and produced outside established comedy venues. We set out to build a stand-up show that represented everything we loved. An hour pre-party with great music, an amazing food truck for cheap eats, free beer/wine, and a well curated lineup. We are not comedians. We are producers. I’m also a photographer... Obviously. The portraits started off with a simple goal: document the comedians on the show. To capture each comedian at this time and place I took two 4x5 Polaroids (one serious and one silly) at The Super Serious Show. Over the last nine years the series has grown, the portraits are an iconic symbol of the show and the independent comedy. It also became a deeply personal series to me - it not only documents the comedians themselves but a moment in time in comedy history. To be clear, we didn’t start this show with big plans. We started it to be a part of the comedy community. I definitely didn’t start shooting the portraits to create a series with over 1,000 portraits, but here we are. Our lives are intertwined with this world- relationships dating back before marriages, pre-kids..
