Editing Inanimate Insanity (section)

== Development and production ==
It was the second object show to be released after the series premiere of ''[[Battle for Dream Island]]'', "[[Take the Plunge]]". The origins of ''II'' originate in a school project from [[March]] [[2011]] called "[[The Coin Bros. - Korean Memorial]]", which was about the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and was the very first animation Adam Katz has ever made, even though "[[The Stupid Trailer]]" was made [[February|a month prior]].<ref>[[Adam Katz|Adamation]]: "[[The Coin Bros. - Korean Memorial]]"</ref> The trailer itself was only uploaded on Katz's personal YouTube channel, DuncanEpic and it was only voiced by Adam and his sister, [[Samantha Katz]].

The earliest ''Inanimate Insanity'' videos to ever be uploaded to YouTube were something that was rediscovered in recent years, where there were [[2011 Inanimate Insanity auditions|auditions]] made by the early crew with their oldest YouTube accounts. The first episodes were made on his animation-dedicated channel, named AnimationEpic, rather than his personal one, DuncanEpic. The animation for the first episodes were really lazy, with premade assets and weird mouth movements before slowly improving overtime. Anime Studio was the primary animation software Katz used until "[[The Tile Divide]]", where he switched to Adobe Animate, mixed with Moho Animation.<ref>[[AnimationEpic]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HrwR_cpP0k Behind The Scenes Animation Of Inanimate Insanity - Episode 9!]</ref> Around the same time, on [[April 4]], the website [[inanimateinsanity.com]] was registered and changes were made throughout the years, even to this day.

On [[September]] [[September 14|14]], 2011, AnimationEpic was however [[AnimationEpic hacking|hacked]] by [[Nate Groth]], the first voice actor for [[Balloon]], and ended up being fired. The consequence of this was that all episodes of the object show released at the time were deleted but were later recovered.<ref>[[AnimationEpic]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HrwR_cpP0k Inanimate Insanity Experienced Some Trouble...]</ref>

With the release of "[[The Great Escape]]", the season turned to hiatus for summer [[2012]]. The second part of "[[Journey Through Memory Lane]]" had to be delayed to [[December]] [[December 8|8]], 2012 and was the first time this ever happened. Later episodes of the later seasons experienced the same thing.<ref>[[AnimationEpic]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpypNS_nUz4 Sorry]</ref>

On [[June]] [[June 3|3]], 2012, Adam Katz confirmed information about the second season coming out, in a video regarding the summer hiatus and the [[Inanimate Insanity T-shirt contest|''Inanimate Insanity'' T-shirt contest]], where four entries for characters to are voted by the viewers join the second season after their creators won the contest. The winner was, of course, [[Yin-Yang]]. Other [[Contestants|competitors]] that were confirmed were [[Baseball]] and [[Paintbrush]], but [[Bomb]] and [[Taco (II)|Taco]] were confirmed to not join the [[competition]]. On [[January]] [[January 7|7]], [[2013]], it was inferred that [[Soap]] was created by the phrase that "she has to have a clean design, but not look too generic and boring".<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/inanimateinsanity Inanimate Insanity]: https://www.facebook.com/inanimateinsanity/posts/509117405789705</ref> According to a Facebook post, it is alleged that ''Inanimate Insanity II'' was originally going to be called ''Inanimate Outrage''.
