1) How long did it actually take for you guys to plan out everything?

2) Did you guys do the coding on it, or did you have to hire someone else to do that? Because if you need help in the future, I can give you a referral to an Emmy nominated web producer, who might be a big Archer fan too....

Except Archer. I feel like he'd figure it out in 3 clues.....and then go off on some tangent on how obvious it was to begin with.

Thank you so much for such a detailed answer. Seriously, you guys are just giving me so many ideas now. I have to get on a show that's willing to challenge your guys commitment to it.

I did the majority of the website coding myself. Tim coded the Cheryl game. Our lead animator Marcus Rosentrater did a lot of the back-end acrobatics on the Krieger@Home page. All MySQL stuff. Way above my head.

Hahaha! Honestly, it's hard to find all off those things in one person. I can write SQL and code websites in my sleep, but have zero animation experience. That's cool that you could do it all in house. So much easier to keep it top secret. Thank you.

Thank you guys for the brilliant easter egg hunt. I've been programming for 15 years, and have been in TV for 8 now. I've tried to talk various bosses in to doing anything from augmented reality apps to hidden easter eggs. I've never seen anyone come even close to this before. I plan on using your example next time I'm making a pitch to my boss. I love it!

Since the bot keeps thinking there's no question in my comment:

How much did you have to pay Adam Reed to let you do it? Because I need to factor that into my proposal....

That said, it will be interesting to see if other shows pick up on that and follow suit.

The answer is YES. A resounding yes. Your success with this is already being talked about here in LA by a few people.
