Jan. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Do You Know Diddley Sqot?   

You may know Jack but do you know Diddley? He's a cartoon alien character created by Mike Quinn of QuinnZone Studios. Formerly a puppet known simply as "Thing" twenty years ago, he had his own successful children's television show in the UK. Mike is reinventing the character using updated technology to bring him to new audiences and new media. QZimation is the name for this exciting animation/puppetry hybrid that will spark a whole new industry.

Fresh from his work on the Disney smash hit film The Muppets, Mike, a long time Muppet performer for Jim Henson, Star Wars actor and animator for Pixar has seen the industry transform from pre-computer analogue film and tape to digital creation and distribution. "It's so much easier to stay in touch with fans these days", he enthuses "there's no excuse to not keep a finger on the pulse of what people want to see". With the help of 21st Century social networks, Mike has a direct line to his fans, who can now play a big part in his creative ventures. Instead of giving up all rights to characters and technology in exchange for production commissions, he can use crowdfunding and retain all future rights. Mike states "It's no different to what happened to the music industry a few years ago. The middle men executives are no longer welcome or needed and the originator retains full control over their work". Mike adds "I love how I can receive immediate feedback on my ideas and who they might appeal to".

With that idea, QZimation is being crowdfunded, by his fans and friends a few dollars at a time. The campaign description and video can be found at http://www.indiegogo.com/Do-You-Know-Diddley-Sqot?a=380098 and runs until Feb 16th 2012.
