Brooklyn Films Launches Music Video to Promote Original Hip-Hop Song in the Animated Series Cowch Potatoes
New York, NY, March 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Brooklyn Films announces the release of a music video to promote their original hip-hop song “Nobody Cares About Your F-in Kids On Facebook” performed by the cast of its animated web series Cowch Potatoes. The animated comic strip series is based on two lovable twenty-something slackers named Franklin & Tyrell.
“The rap song was the brainchild of Uri Rosen, series co-writer. He was getting tired of all the kiddie photos up on Facebook and wanted to use song lyrics as a way to vent. He approached me with the idea and a song was created with hip-hop being the natural medium,” notes Robin Adams. “I liked the idea since I have been producing karaoke videos for the series since the beginning and it was a natural extension to that – an original song and video. They handed off a terrific finished product and I then spent three weeks animating the video with images from facebook playing on the TV to support the lyrics. This was a much more complex animation since I wanted it to have the look of a real music video, which we have shot dozens of, but with cartoon characters,” adds Michael Helman. “The camera always needed to be moving and the finished product has the look we desired but it’s funny as hell. We believe everyone will get a kick out of the song and Cowch Potatoes fans will love the video. We expect to add many more fans after this video hits the web,” concludes Mr. Adams. The video should be release on Friday, March 20th.
Reminiscent of former animated icons Beavis & Butt-head, the premise of the two to three minute animated episodes is that Franklin Roosevelt Kowalski, a twenty-three year old, obese, part-time KFC employee sits all day watching TV on his couch which he shares with his best friend Tyrell Akeem Schwartz, a similarly-aged, unemployed, self-proclaimed ladies’ man, currently living in his grandmother’s garage. The two slackers comment about what they view on their forty-inch HDTV, with topics ranging from politics and religion to general pop culture.
The series was created by Brooklyn Films (www.brooklynfilms.com) and is animated and voiced by Michael Helman. All writing for the series is handled by Uri Rosen and Mr. Helman. Co-producing the series is Robin C. Adams. Brooklyn Films is the production arm for Director/Producer Michael Helman for his various film-related projects. Through sister company RKV/Brooklyn Group, partnered by Mr. Helman and Mr. Adams, the two have produced dozens of music videos, multi-camera HD concerts and commercials.
