After which it was aim for teenagers but came on Thursday nights because they thought most of them would be on dates on Fridays.The show it seems is loosely base on Jackie Gleanson's Honeymooners.
Where does the headless Flintstones come in ? Most of the cartoon cels had headless characters drawn on them, it was a way to save time and money by just drawing, and animate just the heads.
For example if a character is talking for about a minute with his/hers hands on the side of their body it would make NO sense to re-drawn the same stationary body over and over again. They would just lay the head cels first then place their body cel the reason they bob their heads slightly up and down.
Not only that, but in some of their cartoons they would have repeating backgrounds. Remember seeing the old movies? Were people was suppose to be on a train , you look outside of the train window and notice they pass the same tree over and over
again.
Computers make cartoon making simpler now, just animated a character walking, once that is animated, the computer will automatically moved the background at the chosen speed. Heck one does not even need an ink and paint department anymore, nor do they need a cartoon camera.
The Flintstones are now on METV at 6 PM ET weekdays, and on Sundays 10 AM to 12 NOON, and they were made the old fashion way, with ink and paint and a cartoon camera that aimed down on the drawings.(end)
