Question:

Do you use storyboards alot or scripts?

Do you use storyboards alot or scripts? / a big fan

Answer

Both, actually. Here's how the production process works: First things first, Trey writes the scripts -- usually a scene or two at a time -- and then that script gets sent around to all the different departments. Storyboard begins immediately to sketch out and board the scenes, while Trey and Matt jump into the recording booth to lay down the audio they just wrote. Next the audio and storyboards are combined in to a sort of motion comic called an animatic. Once the animatic is approved, the storyboards get passed out to the Technical Directors (who set up the shots) and animators (who start animating). It's a pretty amazing, well-oiled machine here. And it's all done in-house, in America. Fuck yeah!

Question:

How many episodes has the Airport Hilton been in?

I have seen the Airport Hilton featured in a couple of episodes, most recently "The Coon", but how many total episodes has it been featured in?

Answer

Ahhh yes, the Sunset Room at the Airport Hilton -- probably the most used conference room in South Park. Currently, there are three episodes where it's been featured: "Ginger Kids" (911) for Cartman's Ginger Separatist Movement gatherings, "The Coon" (1302) for Coonicon '09, and "Tonsil Trouble" (1201) for Cartman's AIDS benefit...with a special guest performance by Jimmy Buffet.

Question:

Is that a picture of Bradley Biggle on the wall?

In the episode "Ungroundable", when the Goth Kids leave the counseling office, is the student of the month on the wall Henrietta's brother? Hah if irony were strawberries, we'd all be drinking a lot of smoothies right now. ~CC

Answer

Great question, mostly because of your reference to "Krazy Kripples". (I mean, come on.) That Student of the Month is actually NOT Henrietta's brother, Bradley...although he does look quite similar. If you look at Bradley's picture/bio, you can see his hair and clothes aren't quite the same. His hair parts on a different side and he's not nearly filled with enough mint or berry or crunch...

I'm not exactly sure which boy that Student of the Month is, but I'm sure whoever he is, he's an overachiever.

Check Out Bradley's Bio

Question:

What is Butters dad's real name, Chris or Steven?

What is Butters dad's real name?

Answer

Ummm...both? The answer really depends on what season you're watching. For the first few seasons, Butters' Dad went by Chris. But for the last 8 seasons or so -- including as recent as "City Sushi" (1506) -- he's been going by Stephen.

Question:

I recently wrote a script for an idea I had for the show. Do you accept scripts?

Do you accept scripts?

Answer

Sorry buddy, we unfortunately do not accept script ideas, submissions, or any fan-submitted content (besides when we hold fan contests). Legally, we are not allowed to, and creatively, we got it on lock-down. Matt and Trey have been writing/directing/producing this show for 15 years, they got this dawg!
