CHARLIE: Hey, guys.
Charlie here.
Let's chat a little Weird
But True behind the scenes
for the coral reefs episode.
Let's see what kinda
fish we got in our tank.
So, the coral reefs episode
had a skit where we talk about
how to identify fish
based on their shape.
KIRBY: Well it's a
series of 3 paintings.
CHARLIE: I knew I
wanted to do something
based off Antiques Roadshow.
Because people look at
the intricate differences
between different things.
And in this case, we were
looking at the intricate
differences between fish.
It's paired with a long
continuous dorsal fin.
So when you write, one of
the elements that you can
draw from the original
show are these kind of
catchphrases that you
hear all the time.
Like...
So I talked with
my colleagues.
And they're very
excited about this.
Or, at auction this
would get roughly around.
Around a bagillion dollars.
KIRBY: A bagillion dollars!
CHARLIE: So that's really
the special sauce
when it comes to writing.
Let's take a look
at the next one.
The second thing is the set.
Our art department and our
set designers were really
able to be inspired by different
elements of the real set in
the real show and
put 'em into ours.
The next one is the one
that got us very excited.
Another thing is every TV
show is shot differently.
We sat down with the whole
camera team and tried to
examine how they
shot Antiques Roadshow.
Like, oh, I think they
moved the camera this way,
and over here they
moved the camera this way,
and they never moved
the camera that way,
so we won't do that.
This is a
longnose butterflyfish.
The thing that really brings
everything together are the
sound effects
and the graphics.
DEREK: Take three.
CHARLIE: Even the directing
and how Kirby and I behave on
camera, everybody's creative
minds can come in there,
and come out with something
that's really special,
inspired by the
original thing.
KIRBY: Awww I'm so excited!
