 The show is created using Adobe Photoshop images, animated using  Adobe After Effects and edited using Apples Final Cut Pro. Writing  the script takes Dave Willis (III) (qv) and Matt Maiellaro (qv)  around four or five weeks, after which they spend a week making a  rough show on video and get the voiceover work done. The animators  use the QuickTime video as a reference and spend another five weeks  making the finished 11 minute episodes. The whole thing costs around  $60,000 per episode (an uncommonly low figure for an animated TV  series).
