I'm watching the South Park movie and noticed they have this interesting technique for shading, how did they do it?

I am very grateful that the South Park movie was made during its beginnings. I can imagine that nowadays they would have used Randy as the main father instead of Sheila. Ugh
it's called a drop shadow. it's either completely generated by maya or they manually create them by taking the character image, scaling it to be slightly bigger, and then turning it into a black silhouette with low opacity. then you just put that behind the character.
i assume the purpose of it is to better mimic the construction paper cutout style of the original shorts and the pilot.
not to mention it would have been overdesigned crap just like the new episodes are. it's so fricking jarring seeing hyper-detailed newer characters next to old, simple character designs.
Yeah, the charm was in the simplicity, this movie was my introduction to the show, back in 2004, and the construction paper cutout style was the first thing that caught my attention.
I watched the movie on subtitled VHS while i was still at Secundaria in mexico cause before the show got the 1st latino dub (the mexican one that only lasted the first two seasons and replaced the swearing with mexicanismos, before the Locomotion dub replaced it), before that, the show was like an enigma for most of us.
Why did they made it so early around season 3? Sure the show was popular but only on Cable, cause i doubt Comedy Central was available at syndication.
By conparison Beavis and Butthead do america came years after the show came out but still in time before it ended.
In a better world, the Simpsons movie could have come out by 1999 or the year 2000 and not being shit, and bookclose the show.

The SpongeBob movie was made after season 3 ends
I love when anon answers his own question, but just doesn't accept it could be so simple.
Through Maya. That was just the old way they did shadows in the show, when they did HD widescreen remasters of the old episodes they fricked up the shadows so that they're barely noticable and they never bothered correcting them (if I had to guess, the way they did the shadows was by going 'move out a certain number of pixels', and since the remasters are higher rez, the shadows move the same number of pixels but much less further accross the screen).
The movie never got remastered so it kept the shadows in the process. It's a good time capsule of the show's older art style.
wish i knew, is there a behind the scenes on the movie’s production?
I can only imagine how many kids quoted this film in school after release
SHUT YOUR FRICKING MOUTH CARTMAN
I feel bad for any kid named Kyle
SHUT UP KAHL
My name. Is not. Kyiahr.
You're an uncle fricker. Yes, it's true! Nobody fricks uncles quite like you!
I called one of my principals an uncle fricker and I told this really fat old teacher with torpedo breasts that she could suck on my balls. Along with quite a few other teachers in late 1999 and the early 2000s. Let's just say I was one of those students you'd see in the principal's office multiple times a week.
When I was 10 I told another kid to finger his mom. He was not happy about that.

drop shadows and the 'multiply' blending option.
with modern technology it takes at best 5 minutes to photoshop an 'old style' south park char
soul vs soulless
This. South Park is fricking garbage nowadays. Ugly in art. Terrible in script.
I also can't stand that every episode now is about some political shit rather than some funny random stuff the imagination of the kids made it happen.
Cartman used to get fricked too.
and people say you can't tell when something is SOVL
>comfy vs. cucked
This person does art style imitations of a ton of different cartoons, redoing screenshots of newer episodes in an older style and vice versa. The Spongebob ones are choice.
Why did older Sandy look hotter
Its because they dint rely in "LE WACKY GROSS FACES" all the time and neither at the current range they do.
Why is Mr Krabs wearing a helmet. He’s a crustacean, he can breathe air.
You can't say frick in school you fricking fatass
ANON DID YOU JUST SAY THE F WORD?
How come cartman doesn't say respect mah authoritah anymore
It's called soul shading.
