You guys are really talented at voice acting, I wish i could voice characters like you do. Also, to be raising a child and living what looks like to be a comfortable life, do you have a second job? or does The Escapist really pay that well?

Also is it just me or does Mrs. Franklin creaper thing fell like something pulled from little big planet? (somewhere near the halloween mexican levels)

hey jon "i'm poor and sick and 'ungery" what do you guys do on days 6 and 7?
I do the voice of Mickey and Goofy on Mouseass. I usually hang out with the family or work on side jobs on my days off. Sometimes It takes me all 7 to complete an episode if there are a lot of elements involved or if it's a particularly long episode.
I really appreciate your work (I always dreamed to do what you do but I lack the inspiration and designing talent) plus I never thought I could gain instant happiness every Tuesday and you proved me wrong and I'm quite thankful for this
Now enough with the ass kissing and on with the real question!

What are your future plans regarding Mouseass? Any new videos soon? Maybe an other show on The Escapist? How much do you you get paid for AP? Is it worth it? ... PLEASE DON'T EVEN CONSIDER QUITTING!

Pleas excuse my fanboyism but I really can't help my condition(Don't worry it'll go away when the quality of your cartoons drops, should it ever...)

It's a decent living and I do some side animation and graphics work as well for TV and Films. I won't be retiring anytime soon but I thoroughly enjoy what I do. :)

We will see Mickey and Goof again in Season 2 of AL. Prostitute Mickey 3 has been recorded and partially animated, and I will release it when i get time to wrap it up. I don't plan on quitting anytime soon. :)

I think it's really funny how he talks out of the side of his mouth as Cuddles. It's funny when you see actors who do voices make all those funny faces behind the scenes.

Five days to animate!? Damn. I thought it took a way a shorter length of time to do the animation.
It all breaks down to this.

Day 1: Recording and Audio Mixing

Day 2: Drawing any new elements for the episode.

Day 3: Lip Syncing all the characters.

Day 4: Animating all the characters.

Day5: Compositing, rendering, and completing the final edit.

Sometimes things take longer depending on the certain episode but that's the gist of it. So technically it only takes 2 days to "animate" but the entire production process does take a week.
God, I would actually love to do what you do, especially considering that you get paid for doing something you evidently love to do. This was actually quite interesting, especially considering I'm an amateur filmmaker myself, though since I can't draw I'd probably not venture into the field of animation. This week was filler, but it was good filler. And I liked it. Looking forward to Season 2, definitely :D.
