"South Jersey"- Bon Jovi Fans on Tour [South Park Spoof]

[koolsel1]

LOL! WTF

[TotalDramaIsland5500]

Jersey peeps forever!

I like the opening but the characters scare me...

[TotalDramaIsland5500]

Those characters are creepy but gotta give ya props for ur opening!

[AntrimCountyDesign]

You think the characters are scary, you should meet the people they're based on..!

how did u get the chars on the program

[AntrimCountyDesign]

I created them myself from scratch. (They are vector as opposed to bitmap)

[bonkaxsente]

I luv Bon Jovi and we do NOT talk like that down here. Not many Dutch ppl in mah neck of the woods, but this is REALLY good.

[AntrimCountyDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it, it's mostly 'in-jokes', but it's nice to know it makes others laugh too.

Depends what you mean by 'down here' - the cartoon takes place in Amsterdam & Gloucestershire. (The NJ Transit bus story actually did happen in NJ though.)

All of the characters (including the Dutchman) are based on real Bon Jovi fans (among my friends), the kind who go to 15-25 gigs per tour, and all of the events are based on reality, from the 2008 Tour.

[YMN1]

this is funny man... is this program easier to use than adobe flash

[AntrimCountyDesign]

Glad you liked it!

I found the learning curve just a little steep (it's not a very Mac-like program), but powerful. This was my 1st cartoon with Animé, took about 3 weeks.

[YMN1]

3 weeks :O

[AntrimCountyDesign]

Not so bad - that includes audio, lip-sync, character design, 8500 frames...  lots of coffee...

[PurePwnage20]

it takes me 1 hour for a 1min animation

[AntrimCountyDesign]

It would be hard to break it down to 1 minute - character design takes ages, but the actual animation process is pretty quick: 3 hours per character, then 15 mins to animate 1 min.
