- tastypiesinc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It's all being released under Creative Commons! That's what is exciting about this!
- interiot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is along the lines of Blender being open-sourced, no? It's the biggest proprietary entertainment show that's gone fully open-source that I know of...
- gamerage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Torrent is here: http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3506503
- TheKingInYellow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1if someone can make the files available on something other than torrent i would be greatly appreciative.
i am an animator at a huge company and can't run torrent at work but i could grab the files from something like rapidshare or megaupload. please help!!!- dante2010, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Just dl it from home then
- TheKingInYellow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yeh, thanks. just did!
i had 2 corrupt files in the rar, though. anyone else have that problem?
- Posco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Beauty! What a greaty resource for animators...aspiring and otherwise!
- gamerage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You will have plenty of time to get these files. They will be seeding this archive and 12 others for 13 weeks.
- EamonnMurphy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Need more seeds, as they are currently at 0. It's really great to see a studio taking such positive steps as this. As a budding animator myself getting my hands on one of these episodes will be of great benefit, if even just to see the naming conventions of each of the movie clips and props and how each is constructed.
- gamerage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Even though it shows 0 seeds believe me we are seeding with our mighty 35k and won't stop.
If you want to see a full episode of the show you can watch Odd Job Jack episode 1.13 online here http://www.oddjobjack.com/feature.php - davidhcraig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3who draws these characters?? extremely crude, but somehow hilarious.....

- bgnam8r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe a dentist illustrator?
- MacDonald, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8This gesture single-handedly makes all other cartoon shows in the universe jerks by comparison.
- totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3that is pretty damn cool.
- there4iam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Whoa! Two versions of this story are on the front page at the same time.
Dupe Nazis of the world unite! - Lemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sorry yeah, I should've put "AMAZING" in the title...
- Billistic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Too bad the show sucks.
- bgnam8r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good thing you aren't nominating for those awards.
- gamerage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can watch an episode streaming from the site and decide for yourself if stinky is in the house. http://www.oddjobjack.com/feature.php
- slochewie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1What's a creater?

"you can take my brain, my spleen, but do not take my balls" - bgnam8r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Excellent idea in an age where copyrighting is pursued with gusto & the criminal want to steal identity & ideas. A wonderful resource for budding animators & the curious. Great show to watch too. Nice backgrounds by the way.
- drazin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0man o man for the life of me i cant figure out how to watch any videos on this site.
- TheKingInYellow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1where is the main FLA file for the show? i see all of the visual assets but where is the main file that controls them all and where are the audio files?
that's what i was hoping for. the parts are all cool and all but i want to see the main file that makes everything work. if it is there someone please point it out to me.- alinardo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There is no main fla for the show. Each shot is a separate fla and each of them is exported as a quicktime movie and edited together using final cut. The "file that controls them all" is the edit created by the editor and director. This isn't using flash like you were making a website, instead, flash is used to export individual quicktime movies. Of which there are around 300 per episode.
If you wat to see the the "main FLA for the show" I recommend watching the show and recording it. I hope this has been helpful. - TheKingInYellow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i think i kind of get it now. so the main controller file/program is final cut. hmm. interesting.
why not use after effects? seems like that would be easier. still this is a great resource and i will definitely be investigating the files in detail this weekend.
thanks!
