iHeartMedia Hot AC 103.5 WKTU Lake Success/New York is taking the “War of the Roses” relationship segment and launching an animated series.
Produced by Woody Productions and ABoot Studios, the animated series will premiere on Monday, July 24 featuring WKTU morning host Sean ‘Hollywood’ Hamilton and co-host ‘Marie’. The announcement states it “marks the first-ever animated adaptation of the franchise and pushes the boundaries of storytelling in every direction.”
Hamilton said, ““I’ve been developing this for a long time, and it’s finally here. This show lets you feel the drama all around you — inspired by true stories, brought to life in a whole new way.”
ABoot Studios partnered with Canada’s Canadore College to use recent graduates and student interns from their media and game development programs to contribute to the production. It also claims it is the first animated series to feature a spatial audio mix powered by Google’s open-source spatial platform designed for immersive streaming, Eclipsa Audio, “to deliver 360-degree soundscapes optimized for headphones and spatially aware smart devices — raising the bar for how animation sounds and feels”.
The soundtrack includes artists Sophie Powers, Peter DiStefano (Porno for Pyros), Dave Krusen (Pearl Jam), Artikal Sound System, Cas Haley, Derwood Andrews (Generation X), Lisa Dunn, The Tiger Lillies, Flynn and Kemo the Blaxican (Delinquent Habits).
