BlogNomic TV

Playing around with the Xtranormal text-to-animation tool this afternoon, and looking for some two-person dialogue to feed in, I thought I’d try dramatising the recent DoV from JeffSheets (the text is verbatim, the gestures and camera cuts were done manually). Hearing two satnav voices arguing is never going to be very compelling, but it’s worth waiting for “I had my own blog” 54 seconds from the end.

for  Just because it pronounces “nomic” correctly.

The first time it said “nomic”, it said “nohmic”. The second time, it said “nommic”.

The American-accent voice pronounces it “nommic”, the English-accent couldn’t parse it at all and pronounced it “nahr-mic”, so I just typed it out phonetically as “nohmic”.

@yuri: Sure, but most of us aren’t that idiotic. Also, Canada, Ireland, England, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa are also all full of idiots.

But not Scotland.

Oh, Northern Ireland is also full of idiots.

You know, we might as well shorten it to “The English-speaking world is full of idiots.” Of course, that’s being a bit optimistic…

That’s true. Then again, most places that border the Atlantic are.

Or the Pacific.

Or the Indian.

Or the Southern.

Or the Arctic.

Or landlocked.
