some bits i forgot to check on until just now, not worth mentioning since I can fix them silently later. the point of this was to change things that other people WOULD notice.
I think it is superior to the old version, though possibly only because it is a substantially less compressed video. back in 2006ish I considered it secondary to the swf version. now websites will not play the swf version at all so this is all there is
and even the swf is huge now due to all the “brush” lines in it rather than the ugly “pencil” lines with bucket fills from before.
I fixed some of the issues but then I remembered that I need to re-match the beet herald (internally known as “lactorp” but i never truly decided on that)’s mouth to the re-recorded audio even though some of those mouths I only drew a week ago since the replacement “it’s heeyah”s I only recorded this week.
LATER! I made more changes, including text outlines like the other two videos. There are still some pencil-tool-drawn objects remaining, maybe they can stay. but after repeatedly being disrupted by hearing it I realize I need to re do the voice right before “come look, come and see” again. It no longer sounds like greegorp, the character with big glasses, but it doesn’t sound like this character looks, either. oh what a life, oh what a house.
yet later i recorded it to sound more nasal. I hope that is all.
another unfortunate appearance by the dope vending machine
i would ask who was paying nemitz but i know it isn’t necessary for someone to be paying nemitz for mit to be doing something this stupid.
in the sketch it is a generic imp but when digitally handling it I was trying to warp it into the first imp I ever showed getting angry at a dope dispenser. However back when I drew that (several years before the video) I was less diligent about having a creature appear consistent between two frames, and more recently wondered if this creature was likely to be recognized by anyone even if I did come to an ultimate compromised between its two shapes. The important thing is that it disapproves of dopes. I do not think having a tantrum is going to solve the dope problem, OR the nemitz problem, but I never claimed it wasn’t stupid, just smart enough to not want dopes.
regarding some distressing imagery I have mostly had on my hard drive since 2012:
Tails HAS to stay outside. Tails is not ALLOWED in the house on Christmas.
it is imperative to keep tails as far away from your drink as possible, especially if tails is wearing a bowtie.
do not exert yourself to help tails out of peril, no matter how corny his facial expression gets; tails can FLY and is just doing this for attention.
do not follows tails’ instructions. tails is not a member of the technical support team. Tails has been cursed for his deeds and imprisoned inside the computer. If you do what he tells you there is a risk of transferring the curse to yourself. if you must talk to tails do it by telephone, away from your keyboard, or at least while wearing protective gloves that prevent precision key presses.
be sure to keep those gloves on when disciplining tails since foxes, even meeply ones, are known to carry rabies.
trying to gain retribution against tails by blocking his vision in an aircraft will needlessly endanger yourself and not affect tails since he doesn’t look where he is going anyhow. also as has been previously noted, tails can FLY without aid of a vehicle.
tails is not even authorized to pilot mine carts.
also do not respond if tails attempts to pull you over in your own aircraft. tails flunked out of sky patrol academy. if he shows you a badge it is counterfeit. regardless of the lettering on display,
tails is in fact illegal in japan. do not be fooled!
tails also cannot dance. reports are yet unconfirmed as to whether he will steal your money but I think it is safe to assume that you should not give him any.
ALSO unrelated to tails but if you listen to that song, cut it off after the second verse; that chorus is NOT good enough to hear twelve times
and as weird as the video is, Will Vinton studio isn’t creative enough beyond the novelty of using clay to to do anything but simply animate mouths in increasingly creepy ways if there are no further written instructions.
is there anything else to be concerned about?
no I absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge this
