i'll wait for it to leak to youtube

[Sinitron]

zzzzzzzzzz pass

[rtil]

screw youtube, wait for someone to torrent it and i can make bootleg copies and send it to everyone

just watching that trailer mm he's a genius and all his animation work is so fluid and well done

i still can't believe what happened to him and his movie, i sure hope lasseter brings it back to life and gives him what he deserves

[FG_SPace]

i have the book so this seems silly for the price but i'll prolly torrent it too, but Adam Philips is working on a series of DVDs as well. I'll prolly get his dvd on effects

[bcube]

oh wow this looks great.
I'm gonna get this by anyway I can, be it torrent, youtube or buying. This is just too cool

ive still gotta read his book

i sincerely hope 2D animation never goes out of style because this guy's work proves it can look every bit as good as 3D if not better

[texas]

is 3d easier to do than 2d animation or something
considering every big hollywood animated movie is to be 3d

3d is harder to do well

i cant even imagine the work people used to go through with cels and paint

[texas]

then why are there so many big 3d movies and so few big 2d movies

[Gerkinman]

then why are there so many big 3d movies and so few big 2d movies

Because 3D movies do better at the box office then 2D movies do these days.

no, it's because it's cheaper to produce 3d films.

once you have the models and assets, you can put any joe somebody on the project and all they have to do is wiggle limbs around.

same goes for flash

but with new shows like chowder and the misadventures of flapjack, it's clear 2d is here to stay, at least on television

all the corp execs ever cared about was money, and they only do what will make them the most money

that's the only reason why big chains are all about renewable energy sources now - it's not because they care, it's because it's more expensive to use refined oil. it works the same way with animation. ever since it became more expensive to produce a 2d film, they threw it out immediately

speaking of chowder, it's airing on cartoon network in Germany soon.

This guy's amazing, he obviously animates at the full 24, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" always gives me a chill down my spine. I know I much more prefer 2D, but I love it the most when 2D and 3D are mixed well like in Tekkonkinkreet. The thing that makes 2D animation cool is that subtle human imperfection, but 3D doesn't have that a lot of times.

[Thor]

I love Flapjack so much.

I'm still wondering if there's student prices for this (I sent an email to the inquiries department, I'll let you know as soon as I get an answer). If this thing is priced down anywhere below $300 (heck, $400 is worth it too imo), I'll probably get a set.

It takes less people (therefore, less money) to make crappy 3D films. Add in motion capture and you've just replaced a good bit of the animators, cutting the costs even more.

I imagine getting a 3D film "right" would cost about as much as it would to make a 2D film, but I honestly don't know the figures, so I can't say.

i doubt a student discount would be anywhere near a 75% drop in price. realistically they might knock off a few hundred dollars, but not a thousand dollars.

i'm going to make an inquiry to my school's library to pick this up. they have a treasure trove of animation books and dvd's, and one of our teachers is a good friend of williams. i'm sure they can get a copy. then i'll do the deed.

it'd be great if richard williams came into this thread and was like

I don't know what you're talking about I never pirate anything that's crazy you can't prove anything I didn't do it it was all an accident honest I'm sorry officer I didn't know she would explode.

Hey, a guy can dream right?

I already emailed my animation professor about this (no reply) but money is so tight in the department that I doubt they'd be willing to blow off money that could be spent upgrading our computers (BADLY needed) on a bunch of DVDs.

that's a good idea though, i should tell my animation professor about it so they can buy some for the ucla workshop.
