Calling all Animators, all Illustrators, we are working with The Gregory Brothers on a second episode of the HITRECORD classic, They Can't Turn The Lights Off Now! And it's on the books to be screened at Sundance next week!

Episode One rallied behind Gay Civil rights, Episode 2 discusses the civil liberty to record Police and Law Enforcement officers throughout the country. Certain states in the USA have actually taken steps to outlaw anyone from photographing and video taping their local law enforcement, a direct slap in face to the First Amendment.

That's why The Gregory Brothers remixed the "Lights Off" music and wrote a new story with new lyrics and characters that addresses this concern. What they have made is fucking awesome!

And now it's our turn to start designing and animating the short film.

Here's what to do:

ILLUSTRATORS -

Design the 3 main characters:

The Kid with the Camera
The Policeman
An Angelic Benjamin Franklin who comes to educate us all
Design Background Settings:

Listen to the song that The Gregory Brothers have contributed and read the script to learn the settings and environments.
Watch Episode One and School House Rock to get a sense of the style we are looking for.
Also, it'd be great if you can contribute your character designs along with the limbs, head, and torso seperated, so that animators can have total control and ease while animating.

Animators - Once we get some good Character and Setting designs, start animating! But please do it as simply as you can. The idea is to get this done in 7 days to be screened at Sundance!

Okay, get to work!

Thanks Again

@ntaylor97 It's not about filming an officer as he dives by or a picture of one writing you a ticket, it's about catching police abusing their power. If it was illegal to film cops a few months ago then we would not have had any footage of then Occupy Oakland incident. I see what you're saying, but it's an infringement of our civil liberties.

@ntaylor97 i dont care how many cops do it even if its just one it dosnt make it right. it needs to stop and if that means the cop has to always be mindful that someone could be recording him/her so be it oh and good bye

[ntaylor97]

@DaherProductions Yes, but with that not every cop is the same. You can't judge cops by a single cop. Oh well, it has been good conversation anyway. Good bye.

[DaherProductions]

@ntaylor97 well if a cop knows that its illegal to take a photo or record him he will use excessive force and abuse his/her power but if it became legal then the cop will try to use less brutal or violent means to detain the person in fear that someone would record or take a photo of the cop using unnecessary force.

[ntaylor97]

@DaherProductions Even so, in most states it is legal to take a picture of a cop. But honestly, what good would come from it AND why??

[DaherProductions]

@ntaylor97 i dont see the problem

The chick is pretty hot.

Aghh, I wish I had seen this earlier! I would have worked on some illustrations! I have to keep an eye out next time you're looking! :)

Why use After Effects when Anime Studio is MUCH more intuitive and easy to use! Check out my channel to see what I've done with Anime Studio. Simple, but EASY to turn out quality animations!

Hmm. Let me just say this: Would you like it if somebody took a picture of you while you were at work? Would you like it if somebody then plastered it all over the internet?
