Lambert and Boyle animation notes
// May 26, 2009 by Dustball[current 90097006]
So this is what happens every Wednesday when we are making our topical segment which will start off that Friday's half-hour show for that week - I finish the full layout (which is the assembly of all of the elements, characters, backgrounds, recorded voices, music etc... and all of the camera movement, giving us all of the locked timing of the episode in detailed animatic form.) Then I split it into several smaller scenes (around 40 seconds each) and assign them to the animators. Then Josh or I will go over the specific acting notes or whatnot for each character so everyone is on the same page.
This week I recorded a behind-the-scenes video of Josh going over all of the scenes with the guys! -

DIY: Current logo from old business cards
// May 08, 2009 by DustballYou've got several boxes of old/outdated business cards so what do you do with them? You certainly don't throw them away when you can make your very own Current logo to hang in the SuperNews! office! That's precisely what I did.
Click for more making-of photos!
