TTV: On Air is an animated show starring all of your favorite TTV members, and Eljay!
Here’s a FAQ:
Q: When is TTV: On Air coming out?
A: Before BioCraft
Q: No, but seriously. When is it coming out?
A: We honestly don’t have a release day set yet. We’re wanting to get done with the entirety of the first season before we set a release date. As of right now, we’re in full production mode and building up a library of assets and making sure the scripts are done. We’ll be releasing teasers along the way, though, so don’t worry!
Q: What programs do you use?
A: The spriting is all done with a mixture of MS Paint and Photoshop. The audio is all managed either by Audacity or by Reaper. The animation is managed in Flash CS6.
Q: What is this series about?
A: It’s about the trials and tribulations of a small startup studio, the employees there, and the shenanigans that go on as they struggle to make it big. Think of it as Community meets the Office meets Code Monkeys.
Q: Who is going to be in it?
A: The main characters are going to be six of us: Varderan, Mesonak, Eljay, Kahi, Viper and Venom. There’s also going to be a ton of other characters, some other cast members, and some that are just plain made up.
Q: Where did you get those sprites that you use?
A: Var created our sprites for a custom kit that he wanted to use back when we made comics. It was a clear choice for animation, mostly because it was one of the few kits that had a walkcycle for it.
Q: Can I have them?
A: No, we’re wanting to keep them private solely because we want to keep our own videos recognizable. Making our own visual Bionicle style makes us stand out from all of the other shows out there, both from others and from fans of ours. That way, you can instantly recognize when it’s something that we do. It’s kind of like branding, I guess.
Q: Can I guest star in an episode?
A: It depends on how much you pay us.
Q: Really?!
A: No but seriously, while we are on the lookout for voice actors, we want to keep this a privilege, like a prize for an event. We’re pretty picky about audio quality and the voice actors we actually use. That being said, the voices in this show won’t be just us. We’re hoping to get the talent from a lot of our friends in the Bionicle community to help us out with this.
But no, I definitely wouldn’t commit this amount of time and effort to making something dedicated to someone else’s sprite comics, let alone Eljay’s
