WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.089 --> 00:00:14.639 Hello there, and welcome to Scribble Kibble, a show about animation and how it’s made. 00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:19.070 This episode is going to be a bit different because I’ve never seen Eddsworld. 00:00:19.070 --> 00:00:23.420 I’ve known about it for years and years and years, but all this time and I simply 00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:26.850 never crossed paths with any of the videos. 00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.770 Now seems as good a time as any to fix that. 00:00:29.770 --> 00:00:34.210 So I guess we’ll go over to the channel, sort by oldest, and hit play. 00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:40.149 I’ll admit to having a huge idiot grin watching how pixellated this is on today’s computer 00:00:40.149 --> 00:00:41.540 screens. 00:00:41.540 --> 00:00:42.540 Sounds from Flash Kit. 00:00:42.540 --> 00:00:43.950 Yeah, this takes me back. 00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:47.921 I’m going to switch over to Newgrounds for the main Eddsworld animations, because the 00:00:47.921 --> 00:00:51.309 early YouTube uploads are low quality. 00:00:51.309 --> 00:00:54.960 Everything is crisp and much more pleasant to watch and listen to on Newgrounds. 00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.760 Isn’t it always? 00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:57.960 Hurr hurr. 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.620 Well, so far Eddsworld is exactly what I expected. 00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:06.369 Rookie Flash animation that’s great to watch if you grew up with it because you’re nostalgic, 00:01:06.369 --> 00:01:11.610 but for new people the early Eddsworld stuff is probably only going to be a little amusing. 00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:13.170 I’ll let you know when it gets good. 00:01:13.170 --> 00:01:14.682 Wait, who cooks bacon in an oven? 00:01:14.682 --> 00:01:20.560 The first bunch of videos are hit or miss as to whether they’ll entertain you or not. 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:25.479 The Hello Hellhole episode is the first one where the humor and pacing are about right. 00:01:25.479 --> 00:01:29.759 A lot of these episodes are five or six minutes long. 00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:33.340 The animation is very basic Flash, but that’s still a ton of work. 00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:36.299 Maybe 100 hours of work per long episode? 00:01:36.299 --> 00:01:39.770 Certainly more hours than that as the quality improves. 00:01:39.770 --> 00:01:45.149 Eddsworld becomes “good” in 2008, specifically beginning with Spares. 00:01:45.149 --> 00:01:50.939 The premise is completely asinine, which makes it nice for a laugh, and the animation is 00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:51.939 all right. 00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:52.939 It’s alright. 00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:59.279 The toons from this point feel a lot more like classic webtoons from ten years ago. 00:01:59.279 --> 00:02:02.520 They’re fun. 00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:06.489 Wow the voice actor for Zanta sounds like Mr. Krabs. 00:02:06.489 --> 00:02:07.729 Josh Tomar. 00:02:07.729 --> 00:02:08.729 Geeze. 00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:11.180 Is this Harry Partridge? 00:02:11.180 --> 00:02:16.930 Oh my gosh, it is. 00:02:16.930 --> 00:02:20.480 Parry Gripp - I just mentioned him in the last Scribble Kibble. 00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:23.069 And I only now realized that Tom is TomSka. 00:02:23.069 --> 00:02:26.069 There are a lot of big names in here. 00:02:26.069 --> 00:02:27.790 Remember when YouTube looked like this? 00:02:27.790 --> 00:02:29.099 Remember this? 00:02:29.099 --> 00:02:34.409 Alright, I’ve been watching Eddsworld animations for over an hour now, and I’ve come to understand 00:02:34.409 --> 00:02:37.989 just how prolific Edd Gould was as an animator. 00:02:37.989 --> 00:02:42.209 In addition to the main cartoons, some of which are longer than ten minutes, there are 00:02:42.209 --> 00:02:47.050 lots of little jokes and short animations you won’t see on Newgrounds that are on 00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:48.239 the YouTube channel. 00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:49.750 Plus weekly comics. 00:02:49.750 --> 00:02:51.790 There’s just so much. 00:02:51.790 --> 00:02:57.730 Of course around 2012 the animation style completely changes, and that’s because different 00:02:57.730 --> 00:03:01.969 people have been animating the cartoons and drawing the comics since Edd Gould passed 00:03:01.969 --> 00:03:02.969 away. 00:03:02.969 --> 00:03:06.510 Now that I’m digging into it, I could talk endlessly about Eddsworld. 00:03:06.510 --> 00:03:11.742 It’s raised tons of money for charity, it has its own documentary, its own wiki, its 00:03:11.742 --> 00:03:13.849 share of religiously rabid fans. 00:03:13.849 --> 00:03:19.189 And I mean rabid, the kind of fans that caused two of the original four main cast to drop 00:03:19.189 --> 00:03:20.790 out of the show. 00:03:20.790 --> 00:03:25.209 Normally at this point I’d talk about how to animate Eddsworld, but I’ve already discussed 00:03:25.209 --> 00:03:30.170 Flash animation in past episodes and I’m not in the mood to repeat myself. 00:03:30.170 --> 00:03:36.540 So instead I want to give you the most important lesson Eddsworld has, and it’s this: 00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:39.540 If you want to animate a show, do it. 00:03:39.540 --> 00:03:40.609 Don’t put it off. 00:03:40.609 --> 00:03:42.359 Don’t wait until you’re “good enough.” 00:03:42.359 --> 00:03:45.230 Start making it now and you’ll get better as you go. 00:03:45.230 --> 00:03:48.590 Eddsworld began as a group of internet friends making stuff for fun. 00:03:48.590 --> 00:03:49.689 That’s all it was. 00:03:49.689 --> 00:03:54.950 It would never have become a full quality animation production if Edd sat around thinking 00:03:54.950 --> 00:03:59.200 about making cartoons, if he thought to himself, “Oh, my animation doesn’t look like so-and-so’s 00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:02.950 animation, my art sucks, I can’t post it anywhere.” 00:04:02.950 --> 00:04:03.950 No. 00:04:03.950 --> 00:04:04.950 No. 00:04:04.950 --> 00:04:05.950 That’s the funny thing. 00:04:05.950 --> 00:04:09.409 Edd died very young, and yet I can’t be sad about it, because in the short time he 00:04:09.409 --> 00:04:13.459 had, he created more than most people will in their entire lives. 00:04:13.459 --> 00:04:17.880 How many times have you heard someone who hasn’t published anything say, “I want 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:18.880 to write a book. 00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:20.590 I want to make an animated series. 00:04:20.590 --> 00:04:22.770 I want to draw a comic.” 00:04:22.770 --> 00:04:25.470 Yet all they ever do is talk about it. 00:04:25.470 --> 00:04:28.950 Lots of people have something they want to create that they never get around to. 00:04:28.950 --> 00:04:32.710 I’m not going to be one of those people. 00:04:32.710 --> 00:04:36.160 Are you? 00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:29.120 Alright Edd, this one’s for you. 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.000 Bacon in the oven. 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.520 Mmm! 00:05:54.520 --> 00:05:55.600 That's pretty good!
