| - | ''{Video begins to play showing Mike in a red "PACERS" shirt.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Hi. ''{dodges a roll of duct tape thrown at him}'' I'm Mike Chapman. People all the time coming up to me on the street and asking me, "Mike, how do you do the animation for your characters on homestarrunner.com?" I tell them...you guys, we're about to go film something with the character Strong Bad being animated and I will show you how, to answer your question. Come on! ''{gestures with his hand}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to next scene where Matt is wearing an off-white mask currently flipped up on his head and he is wearing a "motion capture" suit. Behind him is a solid green screen}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' All right, we're set.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' We're ready to go. ''{As he says this, Matt flips down the mask he is wearing, which is textured like Strong Bad's face}'' Let's do this. ''{He begins to wave his arms as the camera zooms out}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Rolling! ''{Matt makes motions in his suit}'' That's good.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to scene where Matt and Mike are sitting down holding video game controllers}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' You know, so a lot of people think it is just straight-up Flash animation. Which is—
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' —A lot more advanced than that.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Yeah, which is far from the truth. Far from it.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut. The brothers are facing a dry erase board}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{Draws an arrow from a ping pong ball to a stick figure}'' —We get this. ''{Quickly circles the stick figure twice}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' What about a cord— I mean, are you going to need to be plugged into anything?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Looks like this is the wall, right? ''{Draws an electrical cord coming out of a grid wall}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Oh, okay, so it's coming straight out of the wall.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Right, yeah, and then it's like— ''{Draws an electrical outlet}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Little smiley faces.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' That's the— That's a... outlet.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Outhouse. Too scar—
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Well, I d— I— That might be— That's probab— That's better. No, I think that's better. I think that's better, you know? ''{Draws arms and legs on the electrical outlet}'' I think that's better. I think that's going to get results.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut. Matt's face is now obscured by the mask. Mike's back faces the camera}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' So tell them some more, Mike.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Matt waves his arms as Mike suddenly turns to face the camera.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{gesturing to the suit}'' This is our motion capture suit. ''{Matt gradually lifts up the mask}'' On it, we have ping pong balls that are all the time sending out electronic messages ''{Matt laughs}'' through Bluetooth reactors into the air, then they bounce off this pretty green wall which is represented and sent to the computer here. ''{As he is saying this, camera pans to show a laptop computer showing an image of Strong Bad}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Video cuts to show a divided screen. On the left, Strong Bad is waving his arms up and down. On the right, Matt is waving his arms in an irregular pattern; his movements and Strong Bad's don't match.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{offscreen}'' K, now, Homestar's on your left, Homestar's on your left. Good. Good. Good.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to Matt and Mike standing near the computer.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' So how does the computer talk to the suit, Mike?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Well, these ping pong balls... can talk to the computer.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to show close up of Mike sitting at the desk with the laptop. An image of Strong Bad waving his arms up and down is displayed.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{looking to the right at Matt (offscreen)}'' Keep it up, we just got a few more sec— ''{The right arm of Strong Bad's image flickers and then disappears entirely. His left arm continues to move up and down}'' Whoa, hey hey hey hey. Hold on, hold on.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' What?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' We lost an arm.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' What?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' We lost an arm.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{denyingly}'' No.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' One of his arms is— ''{he gets up from the desk}'' One of his arms came off. ''{Camera pans to the right to show Matt making motions. His face is obscured by the mask.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' I got it! I got it!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Hey hey. ''{he taps on the mask}'' Wake up!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Ahh! Ahh! I got it!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{lifting up the mask}'' One of your arms came off. What happened?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{stretches out his arms and examines them}'' They look good to me.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Take a closer look. They ''don't'' look good to me.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Matt studies his left arm and starts to grin.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{grabs Matt's right arm and holds it up}'' What is this? What are these? ''{rips the irregular balls off of Matt's arm}'' This is the problem right here. ''{repeatedly hitting the two balls together as Matt grins}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Matt puts his mask down}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' These are— ''{laughs, lifts up the mask}'' These are wiffle golf balls. We need ping pong balls.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{pointing to the balls on his suit}'' These— I got—
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Table tennis balls. It's an Olympic sport.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{assuredly}'' I got ping pong balls.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' No, yeah, on everywhere else except for this part. That's why his arm disappeared. ''{holds the wiffle balls}'' These things have holes all over them.

| - | ''{Cut to show Matt sitting down and drinking a bottle of water}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''RYAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' How's the shooting going today?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{drinks more and then lowers bottle}'' Rough.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to the green screen room. Mike is in front of the camera and Matt is behind him closer to the screen, cowering on the floor.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Don't do that ''again! {throws ball at Matt}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Oww!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut back to Matt sitting down}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' We hit some snags—
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut back to scene with Mike attacking Matt}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Why would you do that?!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' What if Strong Bad was getting pelted with a wiffle golf ball?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Wha—? ''{gets hit by a wiffle ball}'' Ah!! Jeez!! ''{Mike throws another ball at Matt.}'' Hooh!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to Mike and Matt standing in front of the green screen.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' I told you to go... pick up some lunch, and some ping pong balls and duct tape.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' I d— I did.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' You didn't get lunch, and you got these. ''{taps wiffle balls together}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' I got ''me'' lunch.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to show Ryan sitting at a computer when Matt talking to him}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Remember the other day I, uh, asked you to go get, go get some ping pong balls for the...motion capture suit.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''RYAN:''' ''{nodding head}'' Yes.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{cut to close-up of a package of wiffle golf balls}'' These are wiffle golf balls ''{cut to previous shot}'' so, if you could go ahead and... take the blame for all of this, that would be— that would be great.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Cool. Thanks man. ''{drops the wiffle ball package in Ryan's lap}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''RYAN:''' ''{picks up the package, exhales exasperatedly}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut to Mike sitting at the laptop with Matt in front of the green screen.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{holding the end of a cord that is attached to his suit}'' I need you to plug this in.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Plug... this? ''{grabs the cord unsurely}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Yeah.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Where does this go?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' That's our main input.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' This— I don't have a plug this big. This is—
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' In the back.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Mm, ''{sticks the end of the cord behind the computer, humoring}'' There we go.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{humoring}'' We're all set. Okay.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | [[Image:Sample of Style Too3.JPG|thumb|"You ''don't'' want to know"]]
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' All right. ''{Pulls the other end of the cord out of his pocket}'' I mean, this is supposed to be—
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{humoring}'' Do your thing.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' —tucked in my pocket anyhow.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut. Matt is in front of the green screen, doing running motions. Strong Bad is in the top-left corner, running.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' ''{offscreen}'' Bubs' Concession Stand, there it is, ''{Matt looks and points to his left; Strong Bad continues running.}'' yeah, yup. Here comes The Stick. Watch out for The Stick. ''{Matt jumps; Strong Bad doesn't.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut. Mike is sitting at the computer. Matt is standing in front of the green screen. Matt no longer has a Strong Bad mask, and is holding Puppet Marshie behind his back.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MIKE:''' Are we cool here, me and you?
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' ''{nods}'' Totally.
| + | |
| - | | + | |

| + | |

| - | '''MIKE:''' And... rolling.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{An animated Marshie is in the top-left corner. Matt has Puppet Marshie in his right hand and a black mask with a ping pong ball is covering his face. Matt does random motions, while animated Marshie shakes back and forth a tiny bit.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ''{Cut. Matt is standing in front of the green screen.}''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''MATT:''' Oops, we're out of time. You may be asking, "How do you guys animate the Homestar Runner character?" Well, I've got an answer for you: ''{holds up black underwear with two ping pong balls attached}'' You ''don't'' want to know!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
