But heck it's cool seeing the Kp team in the flesh and like... actually moving!




Edit: Oh hang on I just realized Nabusan uploaded this... now I feel stupid -_-

[nabusan]

Aww, don't be! I hadn't posted it here yet.

Oh and, ARA members translated most of it:

*Theme song plays*
Woman: Right now on Disney Channel the popular series Kim Possible is airing. Kim is an high school student and engaged cheerleader. But if assistance is needed, she'll hurry to every corner of the earth—and without a driver's licence. With her classmate, Ron, and Rufus, the naked mole-rat, she determinedly goes into action against the bad guys. But how is such a series made?
*Theme song ends*
*Cut to the studio*
Steve Loter (dub): Hi, welcome to beautiful Glendale, California. My name is Steve Loter; I am the producer and director of the TV series Kim Possible. Join us and have a look at everything. We'll show you how we make it.
*Einspielung from link, then cut up to Steve before Pinnwand*
Loter (dub): That's our heroine, Kim Possible. We dress her differently in each episode because we know Kim always wants to look trendy.
*Cut to wardrobe scene, then to the 'Wall of Villians'*
Loter (dub): Over here are all of our villians. That is the gallery of the supervillians. Here is Doctor Drakken and here's Shego.
*Cut, (...)*
Loter (dub): Now I'm going to show you a few people who help with the series. (1: 07) Hello, Steve!
Silver (dub): How are you?
Loter (dub): Good, thanks. Steven Silver is a character designer of Kim Possible and he is responsible for the "look" of the series.
*Cut to the sketches*
Woman: All the characters in Kim Possible are sketched by Steven. Also, Kim's hairstyle with her asymmetrical bangs and baggy pants were his idea. Additionally, he decides on the face expressions of the characters, their different feeling expressions, their body movements, and their small hand gestures. Also, Kim's fashion style was Steven's idea.
Silver (dub): I take into consideration, for example, the outfits in the mall, or those that teenagers wear in public. I also subscribed to some fashion magazines and mail-order catalogs. Additionally, my cousins, who just graduated from school, showed me photos of their graduation. There I got myself the ideas for the hairstyles and clothes.
*Cut on dancing Kim*
Woman: Behind the emergence of our heroine thus a lot puts work.
*Cut on Andy Ice*
Woman: Beside the figures, naturally, all the scenes also must be sketched and drawn.
*Cut to the scene sketches*
Loter (dub): Hello, Nadia; may we come in?
Vorbenova Mouri (dub): Sure!
Loter (dub): Come in! Oh, that's cool! At this moment Nadia is painting Kim Possible's house. As you can see, she's made everything with the computer; what's cool is that it looks nevertheless like brush and color. That's what makes up the charm of these pictures.
*Colorationsschnitt*
Woman: The black-and-white background in the computer are koloriert. Also the figures are originally black-and-white. The colors for the different characters are selected with great care.
*Camera arrives with Olly Conley, then monitor photographs.*
Conley (dub): For Shego we use a lot of green and black, for Kim rather blue. There are good and bad colors. Psychologically, orange, red, violet, and poison-green are considered negative colors. Blue and yellow colors are normally "good" colors.
*Cut: Intro*
Woman: The next time you watch Kim Possible, pay attention to the different colors of the heroes and the villains.
*Cut to Steve Loter*
Loter (dub): As producer and director of Kim Possible it is my task, above all, to provide a "vision." With a series, in which there is much action, adventures and comedy, the overview is to be kept important. If one gets a film script, one must be able oneself equal everything to exactly present. Because with the indication trick one cannot turn simply a scene once again, one can the actors not once again on the set order. One must introduce oneself somewhat completely exactly and commit oneself to it. (I believe he's saying that with animation, you can just "reshoot" a take or a scene, so he needs to be deeply involved in the work to make sure nothing goes wrong.)
*Cut to sketches and nod Philippi*
Woman: On the basis of the film scripts and the "visions" of the director, a storyboard is provided. (4:48) In the Tonstudio the dialogue is recorded, which then forms the basis for the animation.
*Cut to the sound studio*
Christy Carlson Romano: My website said I CAN DO anything—who knew I'd have to save the world? Uh, yeah. No big. Neh, No big! Hng, No big.
CCR (dub): I didn't really have to prepare to be Kim Possible because she's around my age and fights with many problems, which I also have to deal with: teenage dramas, into young slammed its and—tz—the responsibility for their annoying brothers, the twins, the whole "family thing." So I didn't have to prepare a lot at all—I know exactly what goes through her mind.
*Vorspannschnitt to Peter Kaufmann*
Kaufmann (dub): I am the animatic cutter for Kim Possible. My task is to splice together the storyboards and the dialogue of the actors in such a way that it kind of becomes a raw version of the episode's sequence. On this basis, months later the finished episode develops.
*Cut to "Dimension Twist" with animatics*
Kim: I've been pulled into a TV show!? Is that possible?
Wade: Apparently, yes.
Kim: So, um… If I'm here, where's Ron?
Ron: *screaming*
Wade: I don't know. I'll work on tracking him down.
Commander Caine: Ensign, is that standard issue?
Kim: Um, yeah—it's… it's new.
Commander Caine: Nice! Does it come in yellow?
Crew member: Commander, more fighters incoming, sir!
*Cut to Kaufmann, voices from the episode*
Wade: Kim, that was Commander Caine!
*Cut to the cheerleading*
Woman: Now we know a bit about how Kim Possible is made. But who actually invented Kim and her friends? And how does one come up with such an idea? Mark McCorkle and Bob Schooley were told to develop a story. But, at first, nothing occurred to them.
*Cut to Mark and Bob*
McCorkle (dub): We returned from lunch and went to the elevator. Then I turned suddenly to Bob and said myself, "Kim Possible: she can do anything!"
Schooley (dub): And I said, "Ron Stoppable: he can't!" And then we had the idea for the series literally within five minutes. Everything fitted perfectly.
McCorkle (dub): We wanted a story in which the heroine can do anything. And a buffoon should stand by her side. Therefore, it would be really cool and funny.
*Cut to 'profiles'*
Man: Kim Possible, a completely normal student with an unusual mission: the fight against evil. Likes: shopping at "Club Banana." Dislikes: Villains with bad breath. Where she works: across the globe—and without a driver's license. Favorite saying: "What's the sitch?"
*Back to Mark and Bob*
McCorkle (dub): Kim and Ron: She is very dominant and able. And he's rather the opposite. It is the ridiculous one who enters into funny situations.
*Cut to 'profiles'*
Man: Ron: Kim's best friend. Likes: His pet, Rufus—a naked mole-rat. Dislikes: climbing—that is, the part where one falls down. His best idea: nachos and tacos = Naco. Favorite saying: "Booyah!"
*Cut to Serienmaterial*
Schooley (dub): What I like about Ron, well: Kim is the obvious heroine; she can do anything. Ron is awkward and fearful. And nevertheless he goes and does reckless things again and again. That makes him a hero to me al well. For the both of us, he's the role model.
McCorkle (dub): Both are very optimistic. If something goes wrong with Ron, then he tries it again and again. You can create anything. The world is full possibilities. If you want to do something, then do it!
*Intro*
*End* (8: 49)

Okay, seriously,
