"THE SIMPSONS" WILL HAVE ITS FIRST LIVE EPISODE


The famous American show “The Simpsons” will appear on the air live for the first time. That means, that the fans from all over USA (only in this country) will be able to ask Homer their questions, and he will answer them at the moment. Even though only people from USA will be able to ask questions, this episode will be transmitted in some other countries too. This will take place after the 595th episode, entitled “Simprovised”. This is the first time that an animated show does this (or, at least, that tries to).

The executive producer of “The Simpsons”, Al Jean, said that Homer will take questions for 3 minutes and then talk about events of the day. He also mentioned Donald Trump, saying that he’s sure that Trump will be one of the topics of the conversation, because people are going to talk about the election. In fact, in one episode in the year 2000, Lisa becomes president of the United States of America (in the future); the previous president was Trump, and “The Simpsons” show how he made the America’s economy decrease.

But, how do they manage to make Homer a live character? Well, the animation magic will be done by motion capture technology, which will track the movements of Dan Castellaneta (the man who does the voice of Homer) and immediately animate them.



PERSONAL OPINION:

I’m totally amazed about the fact that “The Simpsons” will make a live episode. When I first read the new I thought this was a very interesting and new idea, and I’m very curious to see how the episode will go. I think this special live episode will not be transmitted in Spain, but I’m sure I will watch it someday on the Internet, even if I watch it a year after it was released.

Therefore, in summary, I love the idea of a live episode for “The Simpsons” and I hope that maybe if it works well, some other animated shows will do it.
