Love the credits art in the Bigtop Burger compilation! Just curious - my immediate assumption was that in the first photo Tim, Billie, and Steve are sending Penny that selfie so she feels included, and the second photo is Penny sending one of her and her daughter back. Is that accurate?
YEAH!! I was thinking like snapchat or something LOL
I meant to put little emojis on them and TOTALLY FORGOT JKSLFJLDK

I feel like the customer in the last episode but at zomburger. I thought they were rlly zombies.
Iāve been getting that a lot šš
I guess itās hard to tell because itās animated but I really tried to draw doctorāsĀ āāāteethāāā curving around his lip in all the shots so people would be likeĀ āOH ITāS MAKEUPā JSFSJLDJf

I LOVE the full season collection, but why was the Weird Al line in there but not the actual episode?
TIMING... the timing felt too drawn out in the context of the solo episode
like youāre just coming out of the opening and I felt like the energy really needed to keep going, so I cut it
BUT... all the timing felt very different with the episodes back-to-back (I ended up extending all of the opening shots to give more breathing room)
and I realized itād be the perfect opportunity to put the original joke in

How old is everyone in Bigtop Burger? I wanna draw people kissing Steve but I don't wanna do it if they're all teenagers
the characters donāt have specific ages but roughly like
billie is early 20s, tim is late 20s, penny is early 30s, steve is

Hey worthi! Weird question but for your older videos from before BTB like Palpatine's Journey did you write a script or did you improvise the audio?
mostly improvised! palpatineās journey, xylophone, witches on tinder, that stuff--I was aiming for a very conversational tone
so I would just build the audio take by take out of whatever felt like a funny response from the other character LOL

Has anyone ever reached out to you to make a show off of one of your animations? ( particularly btb )
not necessarily to straight up make a show, but yes a few people from studios have reached out about doing meetings/discussing stuff
I know a lot of people would prefer BTB to be a longer/more Legit Show, but this is not meant as a pitch or a proof of concept, this is the actual series!!
Iām greatly inspired by the recent achievements in homemade indie animation like Double King, Final Exit of The Disciples of Ascensia, Post-Apocalypto (LOL), etc.
I think indie animation is really having a moment right now and I want to be a part of it

Worthi, with regards to hiring voice actors, how much is the usual range? And out of all the voice actors you've worked with so far, who has the highest rate? Also, do you have any idea how voice actors usually price their services (like, is it based on how many lines they speak, how long the job is, etc.?)
I donāt want to get into this too much bcus it feels like the business of the voice actors šš
BUT Iāll say, I paid based on how many lines they have, same rate for everyone, and a LOT of the voice actors actually declined payment JFKLSD
I asked tim batt about what the usual pricing is, and it was very interesting! he basically said (at least in NZ, at least for advertising) itās based on how widespread the ad will be!! itās priced on exposure, not how long the record time will be
I imagine thatās different for audiobooks and animation, though
his other tip was to make it clear Iām paying out of pocket and am not backed by some big company LOL š I think voice actors just want a fair slice of the pie, so if the pieās not very big theyāll understand

I'm still very greatful you put captions in your videos and work. You would be surprised how many excellent animators skip this. I love the music in your animations as well and often will put in my hearing aids just to listen to it. Overall you are a very talented and considerate artist, and I am so very thankful for your work.
AH I havenāt earned this compliment šš most of my videos are captioned by the community!!! I just review what people submit and check that itās accurate
Iām honestly so eternally grateful to the caption artists who take the time to do that (AND TRANSLATE STUFF TOO)
when I can afford to hopefully I can make that an official paid thing
THANK YOU SO MUCH THO!! Iām glad you enjoy the music!!

I noticed that you're really good at using sound effects that fit the style/mood of the animation. Are there any tips you can give regarding sound design and production? Does it help to have a background in music?
AH THANK YOU!!
for sure all my sound design knowledge just comes from music production LOL
I did like, watch a bunch of youtube videos of people doing foley but they donāt tell you how much mixing/production goes on top of that
someday I want to do some video tutorials on how to do sound design on a budget for indie animators, hopefully Iāll get around to that
the one tip Iāll give is LAYER EVERYTHING. so much of sound design is stacking 10 shitty sounds on top of eachother and until it sounds like one big cool sound šš
