TechDif Animated: Tartar Sauce Rustling | Citation Needed

The TechDif crew get repeatedly sidetracked from the Newgate Novel when a tangent about Prime Minister Gladstone's peccadillos turns into an all-out tribunal over condiment based toast. There is also tennis involved somehow.

"Will It Baguette?" is just a cherry on top. wonderfully done

[@Stargazer54321]

Is just a picalilli on toast

[@RyuakiraX]

I just realized the baguette machine is Gary eating directly from Matt's soft serve machine

[@NotKyleChicago]

​@RyuakiraX I'm now thinking of an oven that works similarly. Use an auger to keep the dough the proper consistency, then push it into a baking area on demand.

[@OMacMacca]

curry on top, surely

[@woodrobin]

Everything seemed to be going along fine, and then suddenly everybody's favorite Gary Brannan is fellating a baguette.

[@ezekielmartin4323]

Highlights of this video and also my day: - Chrisaturn Devouring his Sauce - Substances Together - French Chris having a mustache on his mustache - the 50% France Wheel

[@CamstonIsland]

I personally thought the 'Substances Together' gag was a bit weak, I'm glad you liked it!

I appreciate that the wheel is 50% France, as Gary said in The Battle of Fishguard episode. Very good attention to detail lol

[@ezekielmartin4323]

Hopefully next time we'll get Chris's "piece of cardboard with an arrow that says France" Edit: from the Charles Blondin ep

[@NotKyleChicago]

There's a lot of small details that make these fun to rewatch.

[@margaretmadole]

I just adore how clearly you used the footage of Gary extruding ice cream directly into his mouth as the basis for your animation of his baguette machine

[@andrerenault]

I don't know if you take requests (please don't take that as us taking these for granted, because we don't!), but the chocolate war in CN 1x08 would be brilliant if you ever felt like it. I think someone in the comments of that video is literally saying "someone should animate this".

[@CamstonIsland]

That's probably the most requested one, and it is one that I have great respect for. I want to reserve tackling such an episode for later, as I've been considering using photoshopped images of candy instead of the drawings I've done thus far. A lot of experimentation needed to come with the best approach for such a legendary bit.

“The wheel spins and lands on France!”

I hope to make great use of the wheel in the future...

[@Laurabeck329]

It's not a wheel it's a cardboard arrow pointing at france

[@NotKyleChicago]

​@@Laurabeck329I thought it was an arrow that has France written on it.

[@Qmeister044]

I think this is the funniest one yet! Chris as Morpheus with the tomato/tartar sauce and later as the bobby was so good. And Gary's outrage at mustard on toast. Edit: Special mention to Matt sheepishly admitting he'd had mustard on toast.

[@vzxvzvcxasd7109]

You’re bringing new joy to this series that I’ve watched so many times

[@ThomasWinget]

I paused to read the wheel...very happy that you correctly placed France on half of it!

[@CamstonIsland]

The rest of the countries are in the order they appeared in the show (besides Bohemia, I guess)

[@ThomasWinget]

@@CamstonIsland y'know, I thought so but I wasn't certain. I should have assumed as much...

[@hummusmold]

THE PIXELATION AT THE END, that took me aback so hard XD

[@CamstonIsland]

I was worried it would be too jarring with the rest of the video's style, but that just makes the effect hit even harder!

[@doc3255]

0:52 Chris expelling mustard from his face out of sheer surprise and horror is immensely funny to me Thanks so much for animating that, you did a stellar job! I'm French and weirdly enough the "wheel spins and lands on France" bits are always among my faves haha

[@CamstonIsland]

I am astounded by how well you've captured their facial expressions with just a few lines! And great job with the hands too!

[@CamstonIsland]

Thanks! Rough gestural expressions juxtaposed with clean geometries and occasional more realistic forms is an amusing stylistic choice I'm having fun with.

[@davidshi451]

@@CamstonIsland I love the head shapes too! Matt: Circle Gary: Square/cube Tom: Rectangle Chris: Oval

I love the detail of the wheel of offense being 50% france, referring to one of the episodes :D

[@natheniel]

i love all the references! the "will it baguette", the "wheel of which country to offend and half of it is france"

[@dysr]

Love how 5/11 of the wheel says France, with the other places also being ones that they have talked about on the show. Will it baguette? is also a great callback.

[@dominateeye]

It's hilarious that York is on the Wheel of Nations. If that were an actual prop TechDif had, it would absolutely not surprise me to see York(shire) on there.

my lord are you fast! great stuff as usual, i hope your go for the Jack Churchill episode next!

"Will it baguette?" Is that a reference to Matt's "Will it soft serve?" Videos?

The Chosen One has appeared! The only one who can take upon the mighty task of animating The Great Chocolate War from "The Flag of Mars"

[@glenmorganshaw5869]

There’s so much possible gold in that episode for animating top of my head “Tom goes to a flap for a pound a minute” would be great

[@CamstonIsland]

When I first trimmed the audio before animating, I wanted to include that, but it would just be too long to animate in any decent time frame.

[@LilyRoseGames]

This is such high quality, I wish they hadn't abandoned the comedy formats altogether and gone with adventures, it's such a shame.

[@CamstonIsland]

What else is Tom supposed to do with his travel connections now that he's retired? It's a way to highlight their personalities: Tom goes to Hell and gets disappointed at the lack of fire and brimstone, Matt flies a helicopter _not_ into the sunset whilst taking pottery lessons, Gary tries not to make cock jokes while making sausages on a railway locomotive, and Chris welds a bike together whilst in full drag. _THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR!_

"Forget the Toast" -Chris, who reads books

[@BoxesOfKnives]

I have to agree with Chris: mustard and black pepper on toast sounds great!

[@CamstonIsland]

I guess the question with condiments on toast is do you let the mustard soak into the bread or treat it more like weird thin jam?

[@ThomasWinget]

@@CamstonIsland that's why you put a bit of butter first; that soaks into the bread and the mustard sits on top like a jam.

[@Hesiris]

@@ThomasWinget precisely, though I personally I am happy just with butter and condiments (the butter needs to be thin sliced enough to completely melt)

[@GumSkyloard]

@@Hesiris So, the butter works like a layer keeping the condiments from sinking into the bread?

Ooh, I forgot about that one. That was good. I'd have to decide whether to go for a more expressive Julie face like with the rest of the TechDif crew, have the TechDif crew 'dress in drag' to portray her (a statement that is markedly less expected as of a week ago), or do what I did with Gladstone and use a realistic portrait with funny limbs. It's not a strict rule, but I was thinking that if something is fictional the TechDif teller portrays it, while if its fact then it's an actual portrait.
