Level 20-Something :: Season 1 Episode 2: "Chip Damage"

Second episode of season one of Level 20-Something, presented fashionably late by Tiger-Uppercut.com

(I'm aware of the lip syncing glitches during the castle scene, I'm working on a fix for it)

Dramatic Irony AND a Wilhelm scream. Fun. 

[TigerUppercutStudios]

@White667 More irony and a Howie scream in the next episode.

TUS, how do you figure out when to make these and get the people who voice this to do that exact thing at the right time?

[TigerUppercutStudios]

@LifeUpStudios I try to get one episode done a month. For every episode, the cast and I get on Skype and we record our lines. Are you asking about voice direction or animation for the second part of your question?

[LifeUpStudios]

@TigerUppercutStudios Well kinda both. It must take good animation skills to keep the lining in with the voices.

[TigerUppercutStudios]

@LifeUpStudios Not necessarily. Each line that a character delivers is an object in Flash. I put the the character's line in the timeline and use the little wave-form graphic (and listen to the line a bunch) to determine which of 4 mouth shapes to use. Closed, Small, Open and Wince. Closed for no movement, small for the start of consonants, Open for vowels and Wince for T, D and a few others. If you mouth along with what's being said, you can use your mouth for reference in lip-syncing. :-)

"I'd like some pancakes" makes me think of Egoraptor's "Blanka Makes Poundcake" video. :P

[crashcreatures]

Do you say "I'd like some pancakes" when the spinning kick starts? lol

@chisenone It's a guy I met at Screw Attack Gaming Convention, named Tucker, a few years ago. He comissioned a painting from me, which was I Wanna Be the Guy. Since we're pals on Facebook, I drew him dressed up as The Kid. The painting is visible at Tiger-Uppercut in the media section. I post every painting I make there.
