Lot of Oz companies doing beaut things in film animation and computer generated special effects.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1160802416259075702006-10-14T15:06:00.000+10:002006-10-14T15:06:00.000+10:00I thought that mabye this was originally a Comedy ...I thought that mabye this was originally a Comedy Channel thing, imported from America, but apparently it's home born. Which makes it even stranger - an Australian comedy show in which the main character is an animated American? I can appreciate David Letterman as much as the next guy, but why invent an American host for a purely Australian show? That joke doesn't seem quite right to me. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that means I'm racist!TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1160794639054374282006-10-14T12:57:00.000+10:002006-10-14T12:57:00.000+10:00Yerrrs, not suggesting there's no editing, that wo...Yerrrs, not suggesting there's no editing, that would be plain silly, nor that the show itself is "live" or "real time", only that the Tench character doesn't have a human stand-in asking the questions, with the animation added later. I still think it's very clever, technically. Doesn't compel me to watch it though. Haven't seen more than a few minutes of the show, plus the ads.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1160717513759236612006-10-13T15:31:00.000+10:002006-10-13T15:31:00.000+10:00We-ell, I guess it's possible if they have some co...We-ell, I guess it's possible if they have some computer real-time modelling of the David Tench actor, if you get my drift. But there's a lot of opportunity for adding stuff in - there's jump cuts, and that sort of thing. And there was also a contrived 'phone in' section, and a joke about David Tench's 'stalker' in the 'audience'. (The only 'audience' shot in the whole show, in fact).TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333303180015967125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1160715063245253242006-10-13T14:51:00.000+10:002006-10-13T14:51:00.000+10:00Tim - no, the team behind the animation have actua...Tim - no, the team behind the animation have actually devised real time real interaction between the animation and the guests. Damned clever. So it's not some contrived and lengthy edit job behind the scenes to add-in the David Tench character with the real people.Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387674413840435759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7529903.post-1160703441434108792006-10-13T11:37:00.000+10:002006-10-13T11:37:00.000+10:00The show and I ... tut tutThe show and I ... tut tutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
