“The global Animation industry is estimated at over US$200 billion, with
most segments growing at a rate of seven per cent per annum and we are pleased
to be a part of this”
CEO for Reel Rock GSW Wayne
Sinclair commenting on the announcement of the contract with Imira
Entertainment of Spain to produce 52 episodes of Disney Channel and Nickelodeon
Cartoon series Lucky Fred
Remember that article I did back in September 2013 on Reel Rock GSW securing a very
lucrative Animation contract for an unknown yet very popular Cartoon series as
stated in my blog
article entitled “Animation
after KingstOOn - Reel Rock GSW secures 52 Episode Animation sub-contract for a
Globally popular English Cartoon”?
Well the secret is out!
The fifty two (52) episodes to be produced by Reel Rock GSW is for the Disney
Channel and Nickelodeon Cartoon series, “Lucky
Fred” as stated in the article “Jamaican
Animation company to produce Disney, Nickelodeon Cartoon”, published
Friday, December 27, 2013, The
Jamaica Observer.
Check out the video for the
Ghosthaunter Lucky Fred Official YouTube channel and the “Lucky Fred” website below to get a gist of
what's involved. It’s basically a Spanish Version of Jimmy Neutron meets Fairly Odd Parents,
with the Fairies being replaced by a Transformer-like Robot named Friday that
becomes anything 15 year old Fred desires to impress his friends!

That’s right folks!
Get your Spanish in Gear, as it’s in Spanish albeit English dubs are
available! A Spanish language Cartoon would explain why Reel Rock GSW original contract is
with Imira Entertainment of Spain for Season 2 of the “Lucky Fred” Cartoon series is really a 5
way split between five countries:
1. Ireland
2. Italy
3. Jamaica
4. Luxembourg
5. Spain
The series, once produced and finished on time, is slated for
distribution to almost 160 territories in Europe, Asia, South America and
Australia where The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon hold sway. They've quietly
achieve something many Jamaicans though impossible; a solid Contract for a globally
branded Cartoon!
Reel Rock GSW's basically the
Tessanne Chin of Animation as noted in my blog article
entitled “Tessanne
Chin is the Winner of the Voice - Princess Kitana #BreadandButter work begins
as March 2014 deadline for Universal Studios album from Mona Tessanne”.
Now all they have to do is ramp up. Therein, like Tessanne Chin's
Contract with Universal, lies the problem, as the deadline for the completed Animation
project to be handed over is fast approaching. They've got a few Inner-city
trained Animators, but more are needed as the total estimated for the
successful completion of the project is about eighty (80) Animators!
GOJ’s tapping into Animation
big time – Luck Fred is the Jimmy Neutron of the Spanish world
Of course, the GOJ (Government of Jamaica) has an interest in this, as
the Animation Industry globally is estimated to be worth over US$200 billion,
with US$1 billion being made only last year alone as noted in my Geezam blog article entitled “KingstOOn
Animation Festival and GG’s “I Believe in Jamaica” Animation Training – Genesis
of Animation Outsourcing”.
So much buzz was generated when KingstOOn Animation Conference and Film
Festival that I did an initial blog article
entitled “Inaugural
KingstOOn Animation Competition a boost to local Animation Industry - State
Minister Julian Robinson give Graphic Artists the chance to Feel this Moment
Pitbull and Christina Aguilera Style” and followed up with a series of blog
articles with the titled “Animation
After KingstOOn” to make them easily searchable with a focus on Animation’s
development in Jamaica.

After all, This IS Big, almost as big as the Tourism Industry or even the
blossoming Call Center industry as per my most recent blog article
entitled “How
to find work in Jamaica at Call Centers - Online Travel Booking Agency Bookit.com
is expanding in Jamaica with 200 plus CSA's as Online Travel Booking Industry
explodes in 2014”.
The Projects kicks off in March 2014. Until then Reel Rock GSW needs to get some eighty
(80) plus trained Animators and storyboard illustrators draw from all walks of
life. It’ll be interesting to see the credits mention Reel Rock GSW when the “Lucky Fred” Project is completed! Stay
tuned to my blog for more details!
