I am hesitant to go into the process of this experiment because I'm not sure if its really a time saver or not. My theory was that stuff that doesn't move so much, like a body, would require less keyframed drawings.
Stuff that needed more keyframes would be done separately so I wouldn't have to draw as much on the keyframes.

The base drawing/rotoscope itself did take some time, maybe 40 minutes. The mouths were only 3-5 mins per and pretty easy to draw over and over.
I used after effects spline tools to cut Mike out of his background, so this is not a solid black color at all.
I didn't have enough time this week to get the whole segment with the joke done, but i'm figuring out things and its getting faster!

People keep asking how long this takes to render. It's been my observation that it takes around 3 seconds per frame for Ebsynth to do its thing. (I don't know how slow or fast this is compared to other people)
