just meeting but Billy Bush in a shower in a locker room and a bus it's all was it's not a big deal I'm Tim wookie I am the lead animator for the Late Show it's Taco Tuesday Steven all the puppets that we do start out in Adobe Photoshop as illustrations that involve some frame by frame animation so for instance we wanted to do a little hand gesture of Trump going like that you'd start out with the base illustration of Trump and then go in and draw each arm gesture you can take it over and just directly import it into character animator so it immediately tracks your face with tracking dots it's got your pupils it's the mouth and the eyebrows and that is immediately translated into the character huge okay huge then as we did more of these we started doing stuff that sort of tipped the hat that not only is it fitting politically that it's a cartoon but it's actually happening live the most noticeable instance of that was when we did a live convention show and we had cartoon Hillary on high-touch of hands Steven robbed of and I'm a writer and senior digital producer here at the Late Show I was one of the producers who walked by when Tim was playing around with the software you know back in the day it's not really one thing it's basically a stack of technique all working together yeah Donald if I may tell you that Donald if you don't debate people won't know who to vote for on Election Day a good point I can't do it in election day Tuesday November 8 no way I was really interested in trying to develop a way to have scenes that were just looser than we're possible with animation otherwise like where you could have a framework for what the scene was gonna be not necessarily commit to a full script cartoon Trump everybody let me just get my inhaler this was right after her coughing doubt so one of the gestures they asked for was for her to be able to appear as a ghost you can go from Hillary's sitting upright talking to Stephen to floating Hilary Ghost you know the sky's the limit we can start developing a cast of characters that are cartoons that Stephen interacts with so it's not just about the program and it's not just about the animation and it's not just about the writing or the idea it's all those things coming together
