South Park Studios profiled on Apple.com

by FakeTrout, filed in Uncategorized on Mar.25, 2007

South Park may have a real simple look, but it takes 34 Apple G5 workstations and a hundreds of thousands of dollars in off the shelf software to give it that look.

Apple.com’s “Pro” section takes a look inside what it takes to produce the show. Though heavy on Mac evangilism (it is Apple’s site), the article contains some interesting information about South Park Studios. They work 120 Hour weeks during the season to get a show done in time for broadcast so its as current as that day’s news. I always assumed Comedy Central never ran clips in commercials because the show was hard to advertise in advance, or they didn’t want to spoil the jokes. Its actually because South Park is delivered mere hours before its aired.

I thought everyone knew that Matt And Trey don’t start working on episodes proper till like, monday the week of air.

when Paula Zahn had that show on cable years ago, they were on promoting Team America the night before it opened.
And this was right before Bush got re elected.
It was a few days before the season premier, and they told Paula they had just finished the film and hadn’t even started on the show yet.
They started joking around about the Puff Daddy Vote or Die pr thingy. And Paula joked that they should do a show about Vote or Die.
That following wednesday, the season premire was Vote or Die.
I guess if you have a big enough crew and stock character files, you can write whatever you want up to the last minute and send it off to be rendered.

Now that’s comedy.

I”ve always heard they can do an episode in a few days. Unfortunately this is just one of those shows we get like 3 months later in Canada so the topics are always really old news by then.
