This is the second Sketch Boys animation I came up with. Inspired by a trip to San Francisco, CA. I took once when I worked for the County of Santa Cruz. I hardly ever went to SF and I misjudged the timing. Next thing I was stuck in heavy traffic and going the wrong way! I was extremely late for my meeting, which was a luncheon/pow wow of local government audit managers. No, I wasn't the audit manager, I was supposed to meet the audit manager there (and get 8 hours of education credits). Anyways, it was an embarrasing moment and the audit manager actually wrote me up for being 4 hours late! Ironically, the meeting was held in the Veteran's Hall across the street from one of the Academy of Art buildings, before I ever thought of going back to school! Shortly thereafter I quit that job and now I travel to SF on a regular basis to attend classes at the Academy of Art! Is that weird or what?

This is the first episode in a five part series called The Sketch Boys I made last year with a few inexpensive programs like Poser 4, Acid 4.0 and Mimic. In it, Jim and Reggie can't decide whether to lounge around the house or go out for a snack. First I wrote the script and then recorded the voices into Acid. I used Mimic to create the lip sync files and applied those files to 3d models and rendered them out of Poser.
