Editing Let Go, Let Gov (section)

==Behind The Scenes==
- The writers first started talking about this episode during a Writer’s Retreat in July. 

- A lot happened during our hiatus between seasons, and the writers wanted something that'd still be relevant. So they built it around Snowden and the NSA.

- Just a few days before the episode aired, it was reported that the NSA employees were illegally "keeping tabs" on spouses and girl/boyfriends. 

====Where'd The Idea Come From: "Cartman on Speakerphone"====

The speakerphone idea really kicked off when Trey did an imitation of how the Kardashians talk on their cell phones.{{-}}

Even the slightest change to a character -- like Butters' pajamas and "prayer" pose -- require entirely new storyboards and designs from the art department.{{-}}

After the script is written, the first step in production is having our Storyboard department create "boards".  They used to be drawn by hand, but they are all done digitally now.{{-}}

====Art Department: Props====

All of the props used in the show, like this pamphlet with the girl on fire, are designed by our storyboard department. {{-}}
