From what I understand, it was the work of a devilish troll. He made up the fake show, contacted Rich and it was all Kuta's fault from there. Look, I could care less about what he does in his own spare time, whether it's directing the fan fic, sleeping in a crib or snuggling his with his Sally doll, I don't care, it's his life. But he can't blame anyone else for that info getting leaked. If he never wanted those pictures or past experiences to become public knowledge, than he should have kept it off the internet. It's common logic.
No pretty sure it's legit. The guy is way too restrained and half-interested/doesn't dig for embarrassing details to be a troll I think. That or he's a master. The actual name of the show was "Potty Time Radio", of course the youtube vid got flagged but I've got the audio saved for the lulz if anyone wants it.
No, I think it was... I remember seeing the video on youtube, and the poster said it himself... Or I'm confused... or I'm lying... Dear god, maybe I'm trolling everyone and myself

It was a while back, so maybe I'm mixing some things up.
Whatever the case... stupid move.
Is it REALLY that hard to make a Classic animated movie?
For what I know 1 frame is equal to 20 drawings and if you want a clip that is 20 minutes long that's like 24000 drawings( + background artwork for each scene ). So if you work alone and make 1 drawing per hour and work 2 hours a day you will do 2 drawings per day. And that in a year is 730 drawings on a year. Okay if you start today you are done in 33 years.
But lets say you are 10 people that means you are done in 3.3 years. But of course if you are very skilled you make more than 2 pictures a day. So lets say you do 6. Then we're down to about a year.
My advice to all classic animators out there, go together
I'm actually a junior animator. I'm in art school, and one of the things I got to do was 2D animation. The process... is a little bumpy.
First, animation the character(s). Everything is roughed out, and depending on the artist or if the planets are aligned or whatever, they can get quite a bit of work done. Here's some of my stuff as an example:
http://www.youtube.c...u/1/1Ydjfl_Asn0Everything in their is roughed out. Kind of like roughing out a drawing, here you can tell what works or what needs improving. My recent one, I put together in less then a day, less than 8 hours I think, but I was under a huge time crunch and had to get it done.
Once that's done, it's clean up time. I know two methods for this. First is just doing it by hand and redrawing each and every frame in order to make everything look cleaner, all the while fixing any mistakes that pop up. This can take a little while, seeing as you need to be precise. I helped with clean up on a short film last year, and there was... I think about 10 or so artists working in cleanup, and another group of artists were adding color to whatever pages were finished in photoshop.
The other is Flash. Oh, I can hear the boo's and hiss's... Actually, the program is pretty sweet, and makes cleaning up a pretty easy task. You just redraw the frames in separate layers. I just started using the program... it's got some issues you need to get used to, but it's still pretty sweet. I might consider buying my own copy down the road.
