Hector: Fat Arse of the Law made quite an impression at MIPCOM this year. The world’s largest audio-visual content market was in Cannes last week and Straandlooper were there showing off their latest wares, which included the first prototype of the Hector ‘We Negotiate with Terrorists’ iApp.

The response to all of Straandlooper’s projects, and Hector in particluar, was extremely positive. Despite MIPCOM being a relativley quiet market by all accounts, with the ripples of the global credit crunch still being felt by the animation industry, we took heart from the excellent audience responses we had to the content we took down to market.

So impressed was the Editor of Animation Magazine that Straandlooper were labelled as one of the discoveries of MIPCOM. He particularly liked our big ‘sleeper’ Hector: Fat Arse of the Law. And why wouldn’t he? Click on the image above to read the full article. We are currently in the process of following up with the people we met at MIPCOM, so I will keep you posted on how the property is getting on and whether we have ‘inked’ anything yet! I have my goose feather quill out just in case.

I just wanted to add a quick post to apologise about the lack of blog action over the last few days. We have been having a few Internet problems in the studio, so I have been temporarily incommunicado. Special thanks must go to my new ISP Unicom, who made this all possible.

I can’t thank them enought for their excellent service. Despite being assured that we would have no downtime if we switched to them I am delighted to say that a week later I am still without Internet. I never thought I would say it but things were easier when I was with BT. So keep checking back to the Hector Production Blog for an update on Broadband-Gate Scandal.
