I've recently decided to try my hand at claymation. You can see my first effort in THIS THREAD.
I have ideas for a full series of comedy/horror parodies. The style of humor would be similar to something like Robot Chicken, or South Park. What I'm trying to decide is whether I should add bleeps over the expletives I've written into a the sketches. When shown on TV, all swearing is bleeped out of Robot Chicken and South Park (except on the odd occasion). However, once they reach DVD, the bleeps are removed.
Is there any school of thought as to what's best when these sketches are to live on YouTube? Do people find the bleeps distracting. Or annoying perhaps? Personally, I find that they can add to the humor. I've written one sketch that's full of swearing; the constant bleeping would be part of the joke. With out the bleeping, it'd just become a barrage of cursing. But I'd also like to keep it consistent; if the f word's bleeped out on one instance, it'd have to be bleeped out in all.
Anybody have any thoughts they'd care to share?
