With someone like Tom, such a specifically defined routine would be second nature to him and so he jumps right on board with the idea. Tom breaks into his office he at least gives him a place to stay for the time being. Oh, he probably just keeps those in the basement! And so our episode ends with Tom… just a miserable wreck of a human being. In that spirit, what are my final thoughts on the series and has my opinion on it changed since I started this?
Like with Moral Orel it feels a bit too short as something as brilliant as this really deserves to have just a little bit more time to truly say what it needs to, but having fewer episodes to watch means you have more time to focus on having a fulfilling life and not becoming yet another Tom Peters.

If you have one bucket of money to spend, and you can either have hand-drawn animation for 5 character expressions or cheapy photos for 50 character expressions, which is the right choice?
The static nature of the animation is cheated over by using a lot of cuts between views. But the choppiness gives a feeling of roadsickness after a bit. There are quite a few full episodes of TGttM on Youtube. Have fun! Tim : We made a three-minute version of this that was very scaled back—it was Tom and The Mayor just talking, the most boring conversation about buffet-style restaurants.
It was really just about the two of us being silly. We had made a bunch of other stuff, too. Eric : It was always our dream.
Tom Goes to the Mayor was one of the first things we collaborated on after film school and college. For them to like that out of a bunch of other things was super-important to us. But we were blown away that they dug that kind of humor. Tim : The grueling, slow process of getting a show to go from where it came from on the website to being on the air had so many little steps: you get the development deal, then you write a pilot… there are so many battles in there just getting things the right way.
Eric : But initially we were just blown away — this was our dream forever. I could never imagine that being on TV. Nothing is holding the creators of those shows back from doing the show they want to do.
Eric : We came up with it in my apartment in Philadelphia with the tools that we had: a digital camera, a really crappy editing system, and a couple of microphones.
We wanted it to look a film strip, almost this business manual, flip-book feel. So we took pictures of ourselves, Tim found this great filter that made us look photocopied, and we used our expressions and poses in place of animated movements.
It had this interesting feel to it. Tim : To give our editors credit, there is a lot of work that goes into these, and there is a lot of subtle animation: camera movement, things that move, great graphic tricks.
Everything else on TV is really fast. We have an episode where Tom makes his own postcards, so I could see them coming out with Tom Peters postcards. Coury Turczyn is a concerned consumer of popular culture. Got an interesting story idea or an amazing financial opportunity to share?
