How are ZP videos made?

[Flarvii]

Like the title says, no I'm not going to rip ZP off but I would like to know how Yahtzee makes the ZP videos.

My original answer to this WAS with MS Paint but when I tried it out I couldn't get the body right... or any other part...

Anyway this is open to discussion.

 

[Revernd Awesome]

I'm pretty sure he makes each frame in Paint then puts it together in WMM.

Or if could be done in Flash, that would make it easier.

 

[Flarvii]

Haven't tried flash but I attempted to make a guy in Photoshop at school (saw a picture of Yahtzee using Photoshop to make the title screen) and it failed epically

 

[Dommyboy]

Either he uses WMM or Flash. I would say Flash as the pictures are very fine and the pixels don't aren't incredibly noticeable.

 

[Flarvii]

he says what he uses in one of his vids

Yes, WMM but that's it from memory

1 Ounce Pixie Dust
5 Cups Soul of the Damned
3 Teaspoons Kangaroo Tears
1 Tablespoon British Rage
Mix together in the hollowed skull of a cow for 5 minutes with a magic wand
Put in the flames of hell for 10 minutes

Then go make a ZP video with Windows Movie Maker and Photoshop, wonder why the hell I made you do the other stuff, and stop ripping off Yahtzee.

I'm not ripping off Yahtzee, it's a trivial fact that I want to know

Sorry, but the fact that you said you tried to make one of the figures lead me to believe otherwise.
I'm just tired of all the people ripping him off.
"Hm... I can be popular by not being able to draw and being angry? SIGN ME UP!"

I'd like to see you draw the ZP art.
Sure its simplistic, but there's a certain skill one must have in order to do it with personality.

Sure, but ripping off the style of ZP in terms of art/graphics isn't *that* hard. The hard part is trying to TALK like Yahtzee without sounding like a moron. I have yet to see anyone do that. 'sides, no one should rip off ZP anyway. Get your own damn style, cheapos!

But if its amusing, and they're not making any profits off it, does it matter?

To them? Probably not. To me? I'd rather see something original. And something that isn't crap.

From what I understand, this is the only good thing that Windows Movie Maker has ever produced. That program is more likely to crash than a drunk frat boy in a demolition derby.

 

[Cousin_IT]

Windows Movie Maker & MSPaint. Like every other audio blogger/reviewer on Youtube. Maybe GIMP as well I dunno (ppl who have (a legally procured copy of) Photoshop for such things have more money than sense)
