First-basin' it with a piece of loose-leaf at 24 frames per second!
From a 2007 presentation at Georgia Tech:
>MIKE CHAPMAN: We animate everything at 12 frames a second—
>MATT CHAPMAN: —'cause that's what you did in 1999.
>MIKE: And that's how we learned to animate. We've rarely done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we stick with 12.
>MATT: We're glad that the things were the way they were in '99. It definitely makes it much quicker—we're trying to make a three-to-five-minute cartoon pretty much every week, and animating it at 12 frames per second definitely makes that possible.
Most Homestar Runner toons are animated to run at 12 frames per second (FPS). However, some scenes are animated at a higher frame rate for various reasons.
Appearances
- Kick The Cheat
- strongbad email.exe and Everything Else — The FBI warnings at the beginning of the DVDs (except for strongbad email.exe Disc Five) have a smoother frame rate due to the constantly shifting colors.
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 10 — Done to enhance the appearance of a three-dimensional sequence.
- 500 The Cheats — To fit 500 drawings of The Cheat in the thirty-second short.
- Punkin Stencils (2007 update) — In order for the conveyor belt to move smoothly.
- SBCG4AP Advertisement — Due to the use of a 24 FPS embedded video, the animated portion was done at 24 FPS.
- Main Page 25 — Done to make the puppets move more life-like.
- Dangeresque: Puppet Squad — The original Flash pop-up caused audio and video synchronization issues on the Main Pages and TV Time Toons Menu.
- Comic Book Movie — The scene with The Cheat in 3D has higher FPS.
- Strong Bad Classics! — Although it appears 12 FPS, the page turns are 24 FPS.
