Woofaloofaboing is the latest Lifeboat Luke spotisode and fans of the Northern Irish TV Show ‘Good Dog, Bad Dog’ might recognise someone from the show.

Lifeboat Luke Spotisodes

The likeness of the dog in Woofaloofaboing to Roxy Bryans, star of the Northern Irish TV dog training show, is no coincidence. Tim Bryans, line producer of the series, wrote the episode and put forward his delinquent pooch as the model to the show’s designer and assistant director Dean Burke. And the rest is history. Yes, Roxy Bryans has made the leap from reality TV star to the star of an animated TV series. Not bad for a dog that likes to roll in other dog’s faeces!

Lifeboat Luke is a fun and exciting search and rescue adventure series for 4-7 year olds based in the mad magical seaside town of Donaghadoo. It has been made in association with the RNLI with a percentage of all proceeds from the show going towards the charity that helps save lives at sea. Straandlooper animation have taken the 52 part series and repurposed every episode as an iApp with an interactive game. The Apps are perfect for parents who are looking to keep young hands and minds busy as kids can enjoy watching an episode of Luke and learn about sea safety or they can play the interactive game and unlock exclusive colouring pages online. And all that for just £1.19!

Hector the Stakeout

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Not exactly new news but I thought that I would add a post about this as it was completed before the Straandlooper Blog became the digital juggernaut of information that it currently is.

Anyway, this is the second short we completed on the ‘Hector: Fat Arse of the Law’ property which is currently in pre-production. Dean Burke, Straandlooper’s head of visual development and Hector’s creator and director, did another fantastic job putting this together. Special thanks also to Colin McCusker for his work on the animation.
