English version

source: see here

Tripping the Rift is a CGI science fiction comedy television series. It is based on two short animations published on the Internet by Chris Moeller and Chuck Austen. The series aired on the Canadian speciality channel, Space, in 2004. Canada's cartoon network Teletoon has been airing the series since August 2006. As of September 2007, Teletoon is airing the third season, and a feature-length movie version was released on DVD in 2008.

Many episodes parody or allude to movies, television shows or novels, e.g. "23 1/2" makes reference to the series, 24 and "The Graduate".

Origins

In 1997, Chris Moeller, who was working on King of the Hill and who had been producing animation shorts with Dark Bunny Productions, met Chuck Austen and pitched their idea for a science fiction comedy to animation studio Film Roman. In early 1998 they launched the first pilot Love and Darph on the Internet. The Chode character first appeared in the 1994 short, Wisconsin.In 2001 Film Roman released the Oh Brother teaser for episode 2, and Chris claimed the full version was made, but its release was left up to Film Roman.

Production

In 2002, CinéGroupe acquired the rights to the five minute short Love and Darph and approached animator Bernie Denk to direct the series, with Sci Fi US submitting the scripts and ordering changes. Bernie Denk's team worked in Montreal on preproduction (character design, modelling and textures) while both Montreal and Malaysian teams worked on animation, lighting and compositing. Keyframe animation was chosen instead of the requested motion capture to give a more cartoon-like effect, and to reduce labour.

Setting

The universe is modeled largely after the Star Trek universe, with references to including 'warp drive' and 'transporter' beam technology, occasional time travel, the Federation and the Vulcans. The series also includes elements borrowed from other sources such as Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Battlestar Galactica.
