Below is a video that outlines the entire process of creating an installment of Weird Adventures in Unemployment. It’s a little lengthy, so I hope you’ll watch the whole thing. I’ve tried to make it musically interesting enough to keep your interest. The strip being born here is Weird Beginnings #21, which posted to DrunkDuck on 11/16/07. More information after the video. Enjoy.

WARNING: Some of the songs have naughty language in them!

In the video I’m using Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop CS2, and Macromedia Flash 8.

Here’s the music list:

• Satan Is My Master – Ben Folds Five – Naked Baby Photos
• The Big Jump – The Chemical Brothers – Push The Button
• Mein Teil – Rammstein – Reise Reise
• Bounce – System of a Down – Toxicity
• New York City – They Might Be Giants – Factory Showroom
• King Murdock – King Missile – Happy Hour
• Fit But You Know It – The Streets – A Grand Don’t Come for Free
• Suck My Kiss – Richard Cheese – Lounge Against The Machine
• Remedy – Hot Water Music – Caution
• Dallas – They Might Be Giants – Venue Songs

That’s about all the info I can think to add. If you have any questions, leave a comment. I’m considering doing a version of this with commentary to explain the process, but that would depend on if people can even sit still through this version.
