Q: What are your top 10 sandwiches? Also, what's some food that isn't a sandwich, or even things that aren't technically food, but you eat anyway?
A: Funny you asked im eating a sandwich now. Turkey and provolone. I havent considered my top ten but i fuck with roast beef and cheddar heavy.
Q: Upsale is about your experiences in the retail business, what have you learned about working retail?
A: i worked for metro. Yoyr bosses want you to lie to people and sell them bullshit without their knowledge
Q: How would you describe your style of comedy?
A: Thats a good question. Gun to my head... i guess id call it absurdist humor.
Q: How did you first get interested in creating animations?
A: Wayyy back in the day when i was like 11 i found this website for Mortal Kombat called Mortal Kombat online. They had a little section called the MK Pavillion. Back then i didnt have much internet access (once every couple weeks when i visited my mom), so this place on the interwebs i discovered was sheer magic to me. I tried my best to emulate the toons on there which were mostly sprite animations usually quite goofy. I didnt know about flash so i put them together in paint and movie maker lol. Needless to say i got plenty of "constructive" criticism, and even more not so constructive. I was sort of famous for how shitty my toons were lol. No backgrounds and i didnt know how to transparency out colors. Lol i was a little tard. Anyway alot of the toons on the MK Pavillion had newgrounds loadbars which lead me to newgrounds and flash and ive been animating on and off sparsely my whole life but never took it super seriously. But idk i forget why but i just recently decided to start makin cartoons i wanted to see lol.
Q: What media do you enjoy and why? What do you take inspiration from?
A: hmm media in the larger sense im all over the place, but as far as animation influences specifically i love south park, i like rick and morty but who doesnt. As for indie people Sick Animation is one of my favorites easily. Im definitely a fan of Joe Cappa. I like psychic pebbles and Oney from back in the dizzle.
Q: What is your process for creating animations?
A: I come up with an idea (which usually just hit me in the middle of the day at work), write a few things down to say, get the sound file complete and animate over the sound file.
Q: How did you discover Newgrounds and end up creating your account?
A: I actually answered the first part of this question in the other question, but as far as creating this acct, I had an older account i got locked out of that i had for many years, but in order to log in it wants me to confirm an email sent to an email address i no longer have acces to lol. So i had to create this account. I was pretty high ranked too lol shame. I dont want u to know it cause i used to be a shitty animator lol
Q: Is your name “I Do Give a Fuck”? What does I-D-G-A-F Productions stand for?
A: Lol well in Upsale it was "I do give a fuck" but it could be dont to. I gues it just depends on ur perspective or whos asking.
Q: You study computer science on your own, what have you learned so far?
A: Uh... I built a cpu in minecraft lol, so a little bit of computer architecture. I programmed a basic letter recognition neural net. I attempted to program a chess engine.. got pretty far and just idk lost interest.
Q: When you do discover you have telekinetic powers?
A: today
Q: You’ve also mentioned learning calculus and other topics, but you say you don’t find them particularly interesting or useful. Could you explain that a bit more?
A: no no plenty interesting. Super duper interesting. I just personally have not made any use of it.
Q: You play guitar, what do you enjoy playing?
A: Jazzzzz man
Q: Where did you get your crazy skills in Rocket League and why do you prefer playing with a controller. What are your experiences with games in general, and what do you specifically like about Rocket League?
A: rocket league is hella dope, i mean the physics of it is very very engaging and tight. Tight tight like a field mouse.
Q: Your grandma used to sell a lot of weed when you were around 5, and then the SWAT team busted in COMMANDO style, tied her up, and you ended up peeing your pants. How did that experience affect your outlook on life?
A: Another great question jeez this has been a really great interview and i appreciate you. My outlook?... idk i just generally dont like the police... but i probably wouldnt have anyway. Not that i dont like law and order. I just dont like the people they hire to serve it.
