00:00Hey kid, I'm sad too.
00:05While most TV productions remain shut down amid the global coronavirus pandemic,
00:09new episodes of animated series like The Simpsons are on the way.
00:13Shows including The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, and Duncanville are still in production
00:17and finding creative ways to pump out new episodes from their respective homes.
00:21Buckle up!
00:21No, wait.
00:22Don't buckle up.
00:24For example, all of the animated shows produced by Disney-owned 20th Century Fox TV,
00:28including The Simpsons, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and Duncanville,
00:32among others, are using a program called Toon Boom in order to work on shared storyboards.
00:37These shows are also finding their own ways to record voice actors remotely
00:40and testing different microphones to ensure a high level of quality.
00:44Hi!
00:45We're open!
00:46It looks worse than it is.
00:47We just had a leak and then part of the ceiling caved in and oh, oh, he left.
00:51Other shows like Big Mouth on Netflix recently completed virtual table reads.
00:56Are we animals?
00:57Yeah, you're animals.
00:58And over at Family Guy, the show's composer is attempting to do a remote score
01:02by having musicians play from home.
01:04The Simpsons showrunner told The Hollywood Reporter this week,
01:06Production hasn't skipped a day or lost a beat.
01:09We intend to do the 22 shows we were contracted to do.
