Instead, the government agreed not to prevent you because you already had that right: "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." To say that "you have the right to healthcare" means that you will not be prevented from getting it. It doesn't mean it will be affordable, easy, or that the government will be the one to provide it to you. ..a little off topic but to my point that the government cannot grant you rights, even if you disagree you were not granted the right to carry a gun.

To say that “you have the right to healthcare” means that you will not be prevented from getting it. It doesn’t mean it will be affordable, easy, or that the government will be the one to provide it to you.

Education is not a right, roads are not a right, welfare is not a right, social security is not a right. Again Healthcare is not a right. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were not rights granted to you! They are inalienable rights you already had that cannot be taken away. Very big difference.

We're on exactly the same page as you. We wish this sort of material had a larger reach in our media, and that's what we're trying to achieve! The turn-around for these videos varies. John Green's video was an exception in the sense that it took us under two weeks to complete, but under a very rigorous work schedule. Typically a video that's up to three minutes in length can take 3-4 weeks. This also depends on the depth and complexity of the piece, the resulting art style, and so on. We use a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create the art, and AfterEffects to animate. Narration is so important, but with John Green our priority was to visualize his message without tampering with it too much, and also to see the difference it would make with his viewers. Normally we do work with a very talented sound designer, and record narration with professional sound equipment. If you're interested you can check out the sound version of this piece on our Vimeo channel: http://www.vimeo.com/8285378. We didn't have the time to add sound effects and original music composition to the video when we first created it, but had our talented Allan Levy add his touch afterwards.

This is the sort of video that needs to be played on TV so that all of America can understand what they are currently, so ignorantly arguing about. I would appreciate an explanation of the technical process you (thoughtbubble) goes through to make these animations. I saw that you wrote that this video went up only a week and a half after the original. What is the turn-around time on these videos? What program do you use to make them? I think what makes this video stand out more than the others is the exciting narration (even though the audio quality is poor) (wish it weren't). The Credit Crisis video would be 100 times better if the narration were exciting and upbeat like in this one. Overall, amazing group you have going on here. Keep doing what you're doing. PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDEOS!!!! Dear Thoughtbubble, Thank you for enlightening me. Love, Mike These thoughtbubble animations are truly brilliant.

I think thought bubble is great, but I don't think you're getting the right amount of buzz =\ Maybe you should try to give us snipplets of information on what's upcoming next? or recruit writers more massively? (or maybe the problem isn't ideas or writers and actually graphic artists ... now that's a different story). Anyway, I think you're all doing a terrific thing and I hope to see more of your videos in the near future.

Putting Green's video to graphics was the best marketing move you could ever do... it reminds me of how Disney persuaded Robin Williams to do Alladin... by showing him mockups of his old stand-up routines personified by the Genie. Of course, um, your cause is more worthy... then, um... Oh never mind. Eisner may be reading this. I have to hand it to you.
