San Francisco-based Protozoa, with DotComix, the animation portal at
www.dotcomix.com , has produced a 3D animated rock video for Internet
broadcast with Garry Trudeau and his JT Thudpucker character from the
DOONESBURY comic strip for NetAid, a UN sponsored global crusade against
poverty. The video features JT singing a NetAid anthem, and debuts on
Wednesday, September 29 at
www.doonesbury.com . Trudeau has integrated the
premiere of the Internet video within the plot of his daily Doonesbury
strip. Using their proprietary performance animation technology (also known
as motion capture), Protozoa worked closely with Trudeau to produce the
streaming 3D animation. NetAid is the first live event to bring together
the Internet, television, radio, and online animation to fight poverty. The
event will take place on October 9 with shows in Geneva, London and New
York with live Internet broadcast at
www.netaid.org .
