BRAIN DUMP: CREEP

You saw how I made it, now watch the cartoon itself!

HOW BRAIN DUMP IS MADE: FINAL STEP

I'm on the homestretch at this point! SWF files are exported out from Flash and brought into After Effects. I usually export animation on different separate layers so I can add effects like Goofball's glowy hovery-ness. After that, I export again and bring the footy into Premiere for the final cut. Premiere is where I add music, sounds/foley and the clips from movie trailers that appear on Burnbot's screen. Then I do one final export ...

HOW BRAIN DUMP IS MADE: STEP 4

Now that the renders have replaced the animatic, I drag the mouth and eyebrow symbols on to a layer over them and place them accordingly in Flash. I animate them using the keyframe caddy Flash extension (google it to download!).This is also where I add characters like Goofball and Burnbot, as well as any other 2D animated flourishes, like the cartoons that appears on Burnbot's screen.

HOW BRAIN DUMP IS MADE: STEP 1

As I work on this week's episode, I'll also outline the steps for how the series is made for my 5$+ patrons!Step one is to record the dialogue and set up an animatic. The semi-transparent render in the background is Max's "neutral" pose, and I draw on another layer over it to block out the poses the characters make.
