This episode features co-creators Andrew Koehler and Benjamin Martian of Adult Swim’s Tigtone. They discuss the origins of the show in college, the 15-year journey it took to get on television, and the most ridiculous joke they put into Season 2 (which just premiered on Adult Swim). You’ll also learn: *The unconventional way Tigtone is animated using live-action faces *The underlying motive Benjamin and Andrew had to pursue Tigtone for so long *Their number one piece of advice for aspiring series creators. ~[Sponsored Message]~ This episode is sponsored by Bloop Animation, which is an animation learning platform packed with premium online video courses for aspiring animation filmmakers. They have courses for all major animation programs like Maya, Animate CC, Toon Boom, Blender, TVPaint, and many others, as well as some non-software courses like a storyboarding course, Animation foundations course, and even one about making graphic novels, which covers absolutely everything you need to know from start to finish. The courses are all in video-form, so there’s no deadlines or application process, you simply pick a course and start learning in seconds. In fact, they just released a brand new course teaching how to animate Moho. Moho, formerly known as Anime Studio, is a 2D animation software that's main selling point is its ability to easily build and animate with rigged puppet characters. It’s balance of ease of use and powerful features makes it a popular option for hobbyists, and while it’s not an industry standard yet, it has been used on some major productions such as the Oscar nominated feature films Song of the Sea, and The Breadwinner. The course just came out last week and includes 38 video lessons with over 5 hours of content. So make sure to check it out. *Moho Course: www.bloopanimation.com/moho-animation/ *Bloop Animation’s course library: www.bloopanimation.com/courses ~ Social Links: *Watch Tigtone Season 2 on Adult Swim: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/tigtone *Watch the original first episode 1 of Tigtone here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-J3nJerAyQ *Follow Andrew on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewjkoehler/?hl=en *Follow Andrew on Twitter: https://twitter.com/aandrewkoehlerr?lang=en *Follow Benjamin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benjamartian/?hl=en *Follow Benjamin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Benjamartian
