Topic: Animator seeks Writer for Skeptical/Atheist youtube channel

[Henning]

I'm an animator and I have some time off coming.
If anyone here has a funny, scathing skeptical script they've always wanted produced, I will do it! Ya know, something along the lines of thereminTrees, potholer, nonstampCollector, EdwardCurrent, Cyanide & Happiness...

ya'll are some of the funniest m@!#!!!ers I know, and of course I'm awesome  ... so I know we could do something to make the skeptical movement and this forum proud.

love,hen

oKay, cool.
I'll do my own shit then.

Hey, I'd volunteer, but the last time I volunteered to help out a fellow skeptic, I totally dropped the ball. I have decent time management skills, but only so much time. If you can offer me money for this venture, I'm you [wo]man, but until then, I have bills to pay, so I'll have to keep my crummy job while I go to my not-crummy school.

Good luck, and show us what you get done!

Could you link to something you've made?

[MikeHz]

I'd love to do this, but I'm working on several writing projects right now. Plus, I just accepted a full-time job at Washington State University.

Here are two relevant bits where I used a simple(r) 2D cutout style... which is what I was thinking for the skeptical series... usually I work in full 3D, but that's just too much work.
(yayyy! I didn't think Vimeo would embed here~ )

Nice, nice! Let's think of something!


Also, i teach animation to school kids here in sweden! Would be fun to talk about animation and ideas of how to use it in the classroom!

awesome! I use to write a little but haven't done in anything in a long time.  Cool project though!

No way... Where did you learn?... is that your primary job... Animation? What age are the kids?

Yes way! I mostly teach animation to kids 10-15, with the older kids i focus more on film "film". Recently, the last few years, i'v started trying to work more and more with animation and people with mental disabilities, and it's great.

I have no formal training in animation, i've just been animating a bit, but i don't do it much myself, i tend to focus on teaching it as a tool in school. Or rather another language, the language of film.

Mostly i just experiment with animation rather than to make complete films. Like this.

Very nice work, Henning.

[DoctorOHM]

How about that thing in the latest 'cast about the autistic puppy? Sound's like that could be fun.

Trololo guy

Hey henning, you know that project you were talking about?   I dunno, maybe make up some skeptical lyrics to go with this song, and then create some animation of this guy to go with it?   
You can then post it as a response to the original, which already has over 2.7 million views...

Yeah, the problem is I'll kill myself over two weeks of lyricizing, drawing, and animating and by then everyone will have forgotten Trololo guy. Timeless skeptical themes... timeless.

Anyway, I have plenty of ideas. I just need a comedic writer to make it funny.

Seems one of the newbies in the "hi" thread writes a bit, i told it to come here!

I AM NOT AN IT

You can tell my writing skills with the way I am trained in use of the caps lock key. I also know how to use Internet acronyms such as LOL and SGU.

Actually, you know what would be aWesome in its own horrendously creepy way? "The Daring Adventures of the Skeptics' Guide To The Universe." I'll see if I can put something together...
