Hey Dr.weir, when you are done with Peep Kong, maybe you can post some of the methods you used to do it here. It looks impressive in the cheesy peep way! ;D

That's a lot to explain but I'll try to explain a few techniques. When I started doing these silly things I had a camcorder and made crude cardboard movie sets for each scene. When I got the ability to edit with the computer I began doing the bluescreen stuff that all of my new ones feature. For those I usually take stills of my peeps with paper costumes made on the printer and photoshop green or blue around them which I key out later in adobe premiere and then animate by creating a course for the picture to move around the screen. That's the basic idea right there. I use backgrounds from google image search or create my own scenery with home design software. That's what I used in The Peeping for lots of the hotel and the bushmaze. I also use CamStudio, which captures screen activity and saves it as avi files. That's how I was able to do the run through the bushmaze and I used it quite a bit in Peep Kong to animate the biplanes (can you say "Microsoft Flight Simulator?"). The visuals are a combination of several resources, one being premiere itself, others being AlamDV and After Effects (which I'm a novice at using). Gore effects in Shaun of the Peeps were achieved by CamStudioing the graphics shown on Windows Media Player when music plays and keying out the black and changing the rest to red, to create blood geysers and so forth. The last steps involve adding the voices and sound effects which I drop on the audio tracks in line with the video. To create the squeeky voices I use a program called FunnyVoice which changes the sound of your voice without speeding it up.
