I thought of doin somethin like this...then i procrastinated. I like the characters, you should keep goin with it, i can see it only improving. Good stuff. I'll fallow ya to see if you make any more.
I'm going to be honest, from an animation standpoint that really wasn't very good. You could barely even classify that as animation. At the very least you should make their faces move a little, specifically their mouths. I really liked the style you used to draw them in though. But by all means, keep it up. That was only your first stab at it.
Here's an example of a podcast animation that looks pretty good.
@Hirashin: Fantastic, man. I'm not gonna read the comments to see if it was posted already, but that's got a real classic Dr. Katz vibe to it.
Just a tip, though. I think things like this would work best in moderation. If you plan to do more, maybe keep them under five minutes or so. Just enough to establish some image for the good moments.
Proof: Comedy Central kind of did this with stand-up. The commercials they did were real funny, then a year or two later they decided to make a whole show based off the idea and it tanked horribly. There was just something... distasteful about it.
Okay yes this isn't exactly animated, I did put animated in quotes in my post. Anyway, I just finished another one, I will probably make a new topic for it so there can be a new discussion. It is slightly more animated than this one is.
If I ever did do a whole cast, it would be in the style of this one though, i.e. mostly still images. The only part that would suck is I don't know of anywhere I can upload it and keep it as one video. If I put it on youtube it would be split up into 12 parts!
