Jackson & Doc Interview With Crave Online
Head on over to Crave Online for an interview with Jackson & Doc if you know what's good for ya. There's bits about the upcoming two seasons (which are far in the future) and the much closer 11-minute special. Also news that the next seasons of Venture Bros. will be pre-produced at Titmouse instead of World Leaders/Noodlesoup which produced the first four seasons. Plus, you know:
Crave Online: How did the “Venture Bros.†special even come up with Adult Swim?
Doc Hammer: We wanted to make a 60 to 90 minute special, so we asked if we could make a 60 to 90 minute special, and they said 'You can make a 60 to 90 minute special.' [laughs] It came up because, well doesn't it sound cool? Doesn’t it sound like a cool thing to have?

I'm not sure why...I just hope they still use the same animation company (which is not being used for the 15 min. special), their work is so clean now, and have already gone through all the growing pains of communication to have animated what they ask for. No one would want to go through all those pains again unless they had to.

They say in the interview that the company in Korea that does the actual animation is staying the same, just that the pre-production (storyboards, backgrounds, character design etc) is being done at Titmouse. I would also wager that the majority of the people who worked on season four (at least the director-level people) will be back in the same capacity since they generally are contractors and don't work for a specific studio but rather on specific projects (with each episode being a project).

As I read it, it seems like they are only switching over for pre-production (the results of which we've been seeing in eBay auctions) and the special, plus they're taking some of their old crew with them. All the frame by frame stuff on the actual series will still be done with the company in Korea which seems to be on the same page at this point.

A quick google search indicates that Titmouse just opened a new NYC studio so I'm guessing better facilities, space, equipment than what World Leaders has to offer. Then there's that Superjail is produced there so I'm thinking they're looking for a little synergy between the two shows. With Superjail's season two airing and waiting for renewal there are a lot of people with time on their hands who could work on VB now, just as the boys helped on Superjail when they weren't busy with VB.
