Day 1 of training camp, Cleatus leads the classroom meeting, introducing each Hero while we see a clip of what they do outside football. After Cleatus ends his tough guy talk on the rigors of Training Camp, we see the Heros working out, showing off their unique skills, then being hazed (Duct taped to the goal post).
Cleatus runs a tough training camp and is squarely set on beating the Villians this year. Meanwhile the Heros are determined to find out Cleatus's backstory - why is he like this?

I'm very excited by this opportunity. I'm a long-time pro-football & Cleatus fan and an up-and-coming stop motion animator. My background is as a filmmaker, so I understand the importance of storyline and character development.
My original plan was to team up with a professional animator but after running through the cast count and toy complexity, it was cost prohibitive to do so (even at the full series prize amount). I'll be sticking with stop-motion animation, which is in my comfort zone.
To up the production value, I will be using the voice talents of a friend of mine, James Arnold Taylor who is one of the top voice-over artists in the world (he is the voice of Obi-Wan in the Clone Wars series, Leonardo in the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, the Fallen in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen among many others: http://www.jamesarnoldtaylor.com/jamesarnoldtaylor.com/Resume.html )
I've upgraded my equipment, software, and lighting for stop-motion and have improved my skills since my first stop motion: LEGO Hero Factory Household Duel: http://tongal.com/work/3tgodu
