Pigs in Space Web Comic

[The Narrator]

My host and domain have properly resolved and I feel the time is right to announce my Pigs in Space web comic, Pork Factor 9, which features the Pallisades toys (as well as a few other toy cameos). Your readership, thoughts, comments, praise, donations, etc. are appreciated!

I like it! If I may make a suggestion, Strangepork is supposed to have a German accent (he doesn't, trust me), and Germans don't say Ze or Zat... that's the French (plus Beebers, but we don't talk about her much ). Anyway, to give him a German accent he should say Dee (really spelled die, but that gets misunderstood, so we'll go by pronounciation) for "the" and Dat for "that".

The stop motion flash movie with the crew and the robots is the best... very well done!

Yeah, Strangepork's accent is a bit touch-and-go in the web comic and the actual show. ...I dread the day characters like Beaker and the Swedish Chef make an appearance.

Personally--and maybe I've just seen Snatch too many times--I always thought the pop-culture spelling for "the" was "ze" as in "What, in case of ze Germans?"

Thanks for reading though. I promise... well, I hope... it'll get better. Or at least more consistent!

Thanks BornBlue! That was my first practice piece with stop-motion. I'm going to attempt another one in the near future and, like the comic (and Strangepork's accent) I hope it will get better/more consistent.

Neat stuff. I recently posted a thread about another Pig in Space web comic ~ http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=12679

My only suggestion would be to consider using a digital camera and doing still pictures so that the image quality is better. Are you using a web cam to do it right now?

There are lots of websites which will translate English into Swedish Chef dialect http://rinkworks.com/dialect

Whats Stop-Motion??

 

[Mr.Penguin]

Have you seen Nightmare Before Christmas? It's that. They make models of the characters and move them frame by frame. It's kinda like claymation.

You can learn more about it at animateclay.com which is a pretty good site about how stop-motion animation works.
