Lot to digest here. Take yer time.
Having all these damn ideas for animations is kind of annoying. Annoying in that the more I do, the more ideas I get, and eventually some are going to be wasted. I don't mind if it's a stupid idea, but sometimes potentially good ideas go to waste due to this.
Episode 6, "Don't Sleep, Robby!", has hit a bit of a snag. A lot of the dialog was written to be insanely complicated so it's all coming out sounding really bad. Mainly when it comes to Johny's lines... It's not his fault if I write dialog he'd never say, but it's hard to simplify the lines further. Kind of sucks... especially since a lot of the jokes in this are how complicated Johny's lines are. I'm also waiting for a friend to redo some lines, and... well, it'll be a long while before episode 6 gets anywhere.
Due to this, I've decided to start working on episode 7. It's the Spike episode I promised, and I'm really excited about this one. For one, no super complicated dialog, so it all sounds good and should be easy to redo any of it if I need to. Second, the script is actually relatively short (it'll probably be 3 minutes long), so the likelihood of this being complete sometime during summer is pretty good (if I work nonstop on it, anyway). Also, I think it'd be funny as hell to release it before episode 6. Sure, it'll annoy some, but I think I'm beyond caring. I mean, have you SEEN this?
-----------------------
Back to the topic of unused ideas, there's one idea that's going to the trash soon. This idea is one I was thinking of doing soon, but if I do episode 7 now, then I'll have no time to animate it. I'm tired of not getting any REAL episodes done, so I think I need to quit with the mini-episodes and refocus my energy on the main series before it stagnates too long.
So I'm at a loss for what to do with this idea. It would be mini-episode 4 and is a political episode. In fact, the ONLY political episode I'll ever do. It's an idiot's commentary on Obama, basically. I can't wait too long, as the script is written from the perspective of Obama being a relatively new president, so if I wait too long then I might as well forget it. But I don't want to do ANOTHER mini-episode and lose what steam I've got for episode 7.
I'm considering perhaps teaming up with someone for it. It's a mini-episode, so it wouldn't matter as much if the style is a little different than it usually is. I mean hell, the style changes a lot anyway, who would care? Maybe it'll include multiple authors, if need be. Basically, I'd need animators. I'd supply the audio while the other(s) would supply the animation. It'd let me focus on 7 while giving you guys a potentially good mini-episode in a timely manner. Just a thought though. If I get no takers, then fuck it. It was a small idea anyway.

But for now, SPIKE'S NEW CELL. BITCHES.
