THE ANIMATION IS DONE.



So last night me and the Felipster were chillin' it. Looking through his files and we stumbled upon this gem that we call Foark 'n' Spewn, and we decide, "Hey, we've procastinated for about a year after hyping it up and getting everyone excited for it, now we should actually finish it, but let's do a half-ass job!". So we get to workin' because half-assing isn't a walk in the park. We eventually become extremely tired and decide to sleep on it, and during the night, a magical yeti comes to us in our dreams and preaches "Thou must finish thine animation! For the fate of the world rests on thine comedy!". So we each awaken immediately, rush to his computer and resume the work on said animation. First we merge all the scenes together (and all that boring stuff.), then we just grabbed his microphone and let our musical genius flow creating the dynamite theme song. (The lyrics are completely improvised by the way, and I have no prior training.) Then we do some other boring tedious stuff involving converting files and all that sheet. We upload it to youtube, wait 4,000,000 hours, slaughter a yak, harvest its blood for the Moksha ritual, and BAM! animation creation. Your welcome citizens of the world.

Foark and Spewn LIVE

The title is a non-sequitur (that means it doesn't have much to do with this post, or whatever you wanna call this, It just catches people's attention as they're filing through a dumpster and come across a laptop with our 'blog' on it.), This post really doesn't have much REAL updates so don't hold your breath because the real reason I'm posting this is because... uhh... we haven't posted in a while and we've received some death threats from some of our readers such as The Aztecs, Hobbits, The Yeti, and a guinea pig version of the bloods. So I guess I just wrote a whole 'post' about us not updating and me deciding to update about us not updating. Well that sentence needs a lil' bang up job. So yeah, oh and I made a cool drawling so I guess if you're in the mood to throw up, heres something that can help with that.*

The best kind of procrastination, just in time for the holidays

So, me and the other guy, we're big prorcrastinators, mostly because nothing is really more important than watching "Soul Plane" in parts on Youtube.
This time, we put off the animation for something almost as important: an animation. More specifically, a holiday special, which we finished just in time for the holidays.
Honestly I don't feel like typing anymore so here it is. Bye.

Hot Chocolate has the capability to sear flesh...

Bonjour indigenous tribes and anaconda hunting nomads of the Burma Jungles who are reading this (and Ryan). In case you weren't aware (which I'm sure you weren't unless you have cameras in my house. Not going to mention anyone in particular.), I was drinking hot chocolate earlier today, and I was wondering... what if Jessica Simpson was sent from a planet of dumb blondes who's goal was to take over the world. Once they figured out how to spell world of course, in order to label their dumb blonde plan work cited sheet.
But my other thought was that Foark and Spewn is much like hot chocolate, Hot, Delicious and capable to sear your flesh. I cant really elaborate on that, it's as self explanatory as Head-On! (a medicine that you force against your head that like cures bronchitis or rabies or something...)
So in conclusion, when drinking Hot chocolate, Hot Cocoa, Chocolate Caliente or Click Click Boom Beep (if you're a robotic burmese tribesmen), remember that it has the capability to sear your flesh.
So in the real conclusion, Foark and Spewn is going sort of well a little bit, I guess... kinda... just be patient and your shipment of awesome will come in due time, no worries.

P.S. There hasn't been any pictures of real stuff used for the actual animation in a while so I thought I might put something to y'know, satisfy all the woodland creatures and loch ness monsters reading this (And Ryan.) (The quality is pretty crappy but get over it.)








This little kid appears in the beginning, he's not a major character but whatever.

The animation

Hello Hobbit people who live in those little houses on a hill! Welcome back to me updating this damn thing. Though nobody reads this (except for you guys!), me and Will keep writing it in hopes that it will chronicle our rise to the top, the middle, and the bottom of two animating soon-to-be stars, in this topsy-turvy world we call the taxidermy business.


Now recently I went to see "Bee Movie." It was funny, but I think that the audience, me, and the malignant-tumor my sister calls a hamster who we managed to sneak into the theater will agree that the movie was largely overshadowed by one of the previews before it. Yes people, I am of course talking about "Veggietales: The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything."

As many of you know, Veggie Tales is a series of usually straight to video CGI films largely based on Christian themes; so, because of the growing Christian market, a studio (who's name I will not mention, but it rhymes with Beamworks) approached me for a couple of designs for MY (and Will's) feature film, "Foark and Spewn: as he lays judgement," a movie about sinning that is a departurte from our happy go lucky stile, into really what can be called a guilt trip film, or a journey into your kids crying in the theater until it's uncomfortable for you.

The problem was, I was very busy actually animating the first episode of Foark n Spewn (which will take a long time to come out, so don't hold your breath), and walking around my house in my underwear. Nonetheless, I managed to squeeze in the few seconds before making this blog post into making a very rough draft of what can be called, Reverend Spewn: whoever he's looking at really screwed up in the eyes of the lord:
So that's the end of my ramble. To tell the truth, Foark n Spewn is progressing, though slowly. And there's really nothing for me to tell here. I finished animating a small scene, and the recording is going just fine. But it will still take a couple of months until it comes out. Making this long an animation between to people with barely any prior experience takes time, so shut up!
Yea so that's it. Good bye!

Recordation!

The title may not be a word, but... I'm pretty sure no one is reading this but Sherpas and yetis, and they both cant read. So anyways, we recorded! one scene but... we're taking it slowly sort of. Not really. We just kinda rambled off of our lines which usually ended with us yelling something obscene that we would never use in the actual animation. So, after we got the microphone all set up after some "Tests", we started. We recorded a scene where i had to make a vomit sound for about a minute, which gave me a sore throat that hurt like a flaming KITTEN (CENSORED BY 'THE MAN'). So, we finished that scene, ate some quesadillas, and we continued to procrastinate. I would have to take blame for most of the time wasting, because every time he left and asked me to do some tracks, i would usually record a miscellaneous obscenity and call it a day. So, if any of you Sherpas are wetting your... Sherpa skirts... get over it. It might be done soon, it might not. But it's almost definitely going to be the latter.

See ya later,
The dude that does pretty much nothing, but sorta designed the characters and helped with the script.

Oh man, stuff!

I guess we need to post SOMETHING. I don't think anyone is reading this, but for the few mountain-cave dwelling folk who do, I've decided to add some stuff.

So recently, while I was changing the script of our animation in order to accomodate my prorcrastinating, my sister's mentally impaired squirrel (or in her words, "SHE'S A GUINEA PIG SO TAKE HER OUT OF THE FRYING PAN YOU MONSTER! BY THE WAY I LOVE FOARK N SPEWN") walked all over my keyboard. Now normally, I would have punted this rodent right into the industrial furniture shredder we have out back, but something amazing had just happened: This store-bought moose creature had actually typed something coherent! In fact, it had typed the exact words that I was JUST about to write!
So, right after I apologized to our sister for drop kicking the chihuaha-lookin thing, I secretly thanked her for buying such a retarded beast.
The moral of the story is that our script now has a shorter scene.
The other moral is that we haven't done anything animation-wise, but now that I bought a tricked out microphone and other stuff, I expect to get to recording about today. That's right, today, will be the day we record, and also the day I start animating.
Well that's it.
