Animated Nerdist #2 Featuring James Gunn

[HooDwin12]

this was fucking awesome,please make more!

[setlasmon]

catchin them frogs!

[michealangelo12865]

Great stuff man. Question: What software do you use?

[jackydanshow]

@michealangelo12865 I used flash for the animation and photoshop to create some of the backgrounds

[shinesatnight]

My favorite podcast, and the animation is really good! Can't wait to enjoy my burrito on Saturday when the guys are on the BBC.

[LuneyTune72]

The animation is very distracting, making it too hard to focus on the dialog. You should study how Frederator animates the Ricky Gervais show. To me, that is the best way to animate a talk show.

[SpanielDayLewis]

Man I'm a nerd myself and I still want to bully these fucking nerds.

[LoveoneAn]

@SpanielDayLewis Took the words outta my mouth

[JENNIbooable1]

my only problem with this whole video is ... chris hardwick is such a dr who nerd ... HE WOULD NOT HAVE THOWN HIS SONIC SCREW DRIVER lol just saying

[tjsarlma]

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game music at the end; if you haven't played that yet: then go play that shit right now.

[azeve1aa]

This. More of this.

[sofisofifavorite]

Someone should make the "Nerd" poster on 0:18

Or does it already exists? I WANT IT

[wesleywatsonweir]

Jonah speaks!! ;)

[JGatesBaritone]

DUDE!!! I love these! You are totally awesome!

[TheMegalegU]

Why hasn't Chris Hardwick gotten a guest spot on Doctor Who?

[DUSTYNWITHAWHY]

This is amazing, I love when the names come up.

[CycleGrizzzly]

I say this is a better choice over Kirkman if only to let poor Jonah finally talk! haha

also probably one of my favorite "zombie conversations" ever. Fantastic job Jacky! You should be on the podcast soon

[jackydanshow]

@CycleGrizzzly thanks! it was definitely fun! But to me honestly it doesn't matter if I ever get on the podcast or not.. I did something more which was create something that I am proud of with my limited amount of spare time rather than just mindlessly drinking or wasting my time playing a 50-100 hour video game. The nerdist podcast helped me through some tough times in my early 20's and realized to push myself. It got me back into art in a weird way and that's good enough in my book.

[CycleGrizzzly]

@jackydanshow well great for you man! keep up the good work, i'm definitely subscribing and will look forward for whatever you make next.

[BelieveInMyDaydreams]

So awesome! I can't imagine how long these must take to do since they turn out great, but will keep happily watching any that you post. : )

[jackydanshow]

@BelieveInMyDaydreams Thanks! In my spare time on weekends or after work, it took me about 3 months for this piece. Which includes about 3-4 weeks for the ending sequence

[SpitshineVinny]

This animation kiscks Ass! Love the ending credits especially Fatstronaut! Created by a true Nerdist fan. I wish I was this good.

[jackydanshow]

@SpitshineVinny the only way to get better is practice my friend... and I am still trying to continually grow.. thanks for liking it!

[FakePlasticBones]

Chris Hardwick with a Sonic Screwdriver? Somehow I saw this coming.XD

[Bojac]

Really? James Gunn over Robert Kirkman sasquatching?

[jackydanshow]

@Bojac I know...I am just a horrible horrible person

[heathermason76]

This was fantastic work! Felt so bad for Big C though, Guess a sonic screwdriver can't fight off everything >XD.

[slimjd]

@heathermason76 ah but it gives jonah and matt a chance to shine haha

[heathermason76]

@slimjd that is very true! I love all three of them though! so i'm not really complaining. just hope in a zombie apocalypse that if Chris decides to use just a sonic screwdriver, jonah is there to save the day

[slimjd]

@heathermason76 haha and if they need to make a getaway, there is always the tardis. Or at the right frequency, chris could explode their heads lol

[HollyOgre]

this. was. FANTASTIC. BEST THING I'VE SEEN ALL DAY, AND I JUST WATCHED A SKYRIM PREVIEW OKAY

[NerdGlitter]

This was SO FREAKING AWESOME.

[AceAwes0me]

[acoustechtony]

That was amazing. I wasn't expecting the end at all. Completely awesome. If I were Jonah Ray, I'd cry myself to sleep (tears of joy) to this every night.

[jmkblackmon]

[slimjd]

[homy]

[whatismae88]

[MasonjGregory]

Was that Emily and Kumail perusing through comics at the begging? sidenote: Scrumdiddly-amazing!

[SokatoaStudios]

[sconnellyjr]

AMAZBALLS! So freaking AMAZBALLS!

[WhydoIwanttokillyou]

[Avagon]

This is so good. :) Absolutely love it

[jackalvulture]

OMFG!!! YOU. ARE. AWESOME!!!!

hehe, always loved Jonah's reaction to 28 days later.

[Luneowl]

Love the look on Chris' face when he wields the sonic screwdriver!

[IntellectnRomance]

The amount of ass this kicks...I can't even fucking measure it, the animation is PERFECT, and so funny. Dude, I know you have a life and stuff, but please keep these coming as long as your fingers and sanity hold out. Thank you so much!

[manylysnowflake]

Just realized that the halberd is literally the perfect zombie fighting weapon. GENIUS!

[algonacchick]

haha, Jonah "Don't you fucking say that!" Great animation once again, Jacky!

[Xanth3521]

Dude, YES!!!

[kidpinoyDraco]

I love that after Jonah didn't get any lines in the last animated one, that he is the FUCKING STAR of this one!

[SurviveAndAdvance]

Fan. tastic.

[TheZaneCrosby]

A lot of work that clearly was a labor of love. Fucking epic!!!!

[Skepsis93]
