Hey hey – we're "partying" here at Jellyfish Labs because we just got a new camera for our studio! Hurray! Here is Jellyfish editor/director Bill Ebel setting up the new camera…
If you look closely you'll see Buck Denver on the tiny screen on the camera. Buck gamely volunteered to stand in while Bill got the new camera up and running. (He's very generous with his time that way. He'll just stand there for hours if you ask him nicely.)
For you production guys, the new camera is a Panasonic HPX-300, replacing our old HVX-200. Obviously the new camera is much better than the old, because "300" is a bigger number than "200." So it's at least 50% better. And "P" is a better letter than "V," because "P" stands for "Phil." And that's me.
The new camera gives us much lower noise and somewhat higher resolution, both of which will help as we attempt to composite increasingly complex scenes. So we're all quite happy. (Especially Buck. He's hoping the new camera will make him look 10 years younger.)
You may be asking, "Hey Phil – how did you guys buy a new camera? Aren't you broke and penniless trying to land your new deals to keep JellyTelly going?" Well, that's the other part of the celebration on "New Camera" day. We've got funding for JellyTelly! After about 5 months of searching and proposing and negotiating, we've recently signed two deals with two major partners that will keep JellyTelly and Jellyfish Labs going and growing for at least another 2-3 years! Whoohoo! That's almost as exciting as a new camera! Wait – it's MORE exciting than a new camera!
I'll fill you in on our new partners and our new deals as soon as I can. (I have to wait until the partners issue their press releases about the deals first. It's "protocol.")
But thanks for all your prayers and support. I think we're on to something here. Can't wait to tell you more…
Congrats that’s great news!
Yay! Btw, “V” stands for Vischer..
“P” stands for “Phunding”
Congrats! More JellyTelly!
Yay! Keep up the good work!
Does this mean we’ll see more Pirate Guides to Church History soon?
Woohoo!! Great news!
It really is new camera day–we got one, too. It’s not nearly as spiffy as yours, though. 🙂
Looking forward toward what’s to come!
Congrats on the new camera/funding!
Can’t wait to see more JellyTelly!
Hurray for cameras and Buck Denver and whoever helped fund Jellytelly! 9 must be a nice number, because it’s 9-9-09 today. (Don’t know why i thought that up…)
This is SO GREAT!!! My daughter (who is 5) will gladly sacrifice other TV time just to watch JT even though she gets less time (she only gets to watch one show a day) and watches something she has now seen a million (ok, tens) of times. Excited to hear about the future!!
I just gasped several times in AMAZEMENT! SO exciting- that’s really, really great news! Congratulations to everybody at JellyTelly 🙂
We’ve been following this crazy adventure of yours and praying for you every step of the way. WOOOHHOOOOOO!!!!! God is good. Congrats.
woot!
We will from now celebrate 9/9 as Happy “New Camera” Day!

Good job phil!! I really want to see what comes from your Jellytelly factory! and tht’s a sweet camera, man. I’m jealous.
Awesome!!!!! I love it!!! I keep praying for more new shows so we can bump some of the old re-runs off!!! And now, as long a Mr. Phil has the time, we get to have more shows with more funding!!!
What wonderful news! I’m so happy you have funding (and a new camera!). Praise God!
That’s good news! Can’t wait to see what you do next!
awesome im so happy for you its been a long journey for you and your company or companies haha congrats
Cool! Praise God! Funding, and a new camera, gettin’ spiffy! Oh, by the way, will you be selling your old camera?
um, yay!! Awesome news!
Whooooaaaaaaaaaaa
And I was liking our Panasonic HMC-150…….
Did you happen to look all through the wrapping in the bottom of the box? Maybe there was Another, Extra Camera in there that you wouldn’t want….?
🙂
Actually a serious question…. what is available on DVD from JellyTelly (or when) & what are the JT fiscal details if we can get interest in having a Christian Film Festival here? If we could show things like JT, the Rondina’s “Jericho” w/ LEGOs as well as local material, perhaps that could help with advertising, getting more material in front of people, perhaps some good fiscal arrangement?
Looks fantastic…you are going to need a bigger Buck Denver if you expect people to see him in that view finder! Blessings
Phil and company that is great news and can’t to for you to be able to share more about the 2-3 year blessings!
I cant wait until you tell us who the partners are!!!! I’ve been checking every day!
Okay, I seen in the Clubhouse by Foucus on the Family magizine there are some awesome ads for jellytelly. THat may be one!
