Well, many of the articles I linked too (specifically Neal's old blog) give more in depth look at the process. Every year we make under-the-hood changes to our process, some are noticeable, some are not, but they all contribute to what I feel is the overall improvement in visual quality of the show. They're super.) We also changed Animation Directors during season 2, and our new animation director had a programming background, and began implementing lots of scripting that has continued to change our process from season to season. We still use them for some things, but as our own 3D team grows in size and experience, we have less need to outsource work (even though we still love all the people at Trinity.

Prior to that all 3D work was done by Trinity Animation in Lee's Summit, MO. As for the animation, starting in season 3, we began to develop our own in-house 3D department. That's not something I've noticed (Mallory & Woodhouse however, have both had some fluctuations, both due to health issues of the voice talent). Outdated 'How It's Made' video with Aisha TylerĪs /u/kiplinght linked, here's another Animating 'Archer' interview. How an 'Archer' Scene Gets Made - via Rollingstone Here are a few other links to "Behind the Scenes-esque" content: Those AMA's tend to not be super popular though, since it's a thing where, it is really tough to describe the process in words to start with, but also really difficult for viewers to even know what sort of questions to ask, since the process is a bit mysterious.

C4D works really well in combination with After Effects, so it makes sense for us.Īt some point, we might do kind of like, a "technical AMA" for this sort of stuff. SO MANY plug-ins and effects and scripting are used in an effort to make the process efficient, and yet have lots of flexibility.Ĭars/Vehicles/Effects: We use Cinema 4D for anything that needs animated in 3D, like cars/helicopters/boats/etc. What we do in AE is complicated, and an ever increasingly proprietary process. I could type forever about this process, because this is the department that I'm in, but all I can say is this: Don't try this at home. We do almost all of our animation in Adobe After Effects. Lana falling down the building in "Honeymooners", or Archer slowly turning around at the end of "Placebo Effect".Īnimation: The characters are drawn in Illustrator, but Illustrator is not an animation program. In rare cases, we use Toon Boom or Adobe Flash (R.I.P.) for complicated shots (i.e. Moving Backgrounds (car chases, etc): Modeled and animated with 3D Studio Max.Ĭharacters: Sadly, the pictures in this Entertainment Weekly Article are broken, but the text is still accurate. Still Background Art: 3D stills that are textured and painted in Photoshop. That said, here are very simplistic specs about how we do things at Floyd County: That blog does not exist anymore, but you can still view it via The Wayback Machine. Neal Holman, former Art Director of Archer, used to have a blog which had 4 posts that detailed the development of the pilot episode. Oh boy, this is a really hard question to answer.
