my classmates at UCLA are so fuckin ridiculously talented it makes me depressed that i'll never be as good as them.

here is a sampling of some of the artists and films that my etchasketch thing screened with at the year end showcase

thats made by joaquin, i met the guy he seems pretty cool. liked the etch thingy too. he's every bit as talented as shane acker, the ucla grad whose thesis film "9" got nominated for an oscar

i knew this guy erick real well we were in several of the same classes. hes a phenomenal animator and his experimental film that screened at the showcase was INCREDIBLE. hes also one of the best character animators ive ever seen

a dude in the workshop named david lamps made that. hes really good, has such a clean style. his actual films are like this game only in full FBF.

that erick oh guy is pretty good, the rest were ok

sQueef

i loved them all but that last one was really neat to me because I always wanted to do my own painted animation along those lines

but yea I kinda have to agree erick oh is the best and i liked his movie the most but ye they are all good
Oh, wretched ephemeral race ... why do you compel me to tell you what it would be most expedient for you not to hear? What is best of all is utterly beyond your reach: not to be born, not to be, to be nothing. But the second best for you is—to die soon.

and the crazy thing is ive seen erick make way better shit than anything in that reel

he was pissed at the year end showcase because the compression of his film was wrong and made it blurry on the big theater screen, but it was still amazing

Honestly I think most of us are better than these guys.


My favourite was Erik Oh too though. The only other one I even liked was  Joaquin's, which was well directed and had great atmosphere, but the animation was ass.

^ yeah. it suffers from that tweeny default animation that 3d software does

oh dont you worry i will become the most talented artist to ever live because I have the power to tween sprites across the stage! huzzah!

no but really wouldnt it be fucking awesome to own an art studio??? shit yea it would

one of us here has to open an art studio so we can hire everyone else actually im just saying that because im lazy and id rather mooch off a rich friend.

but then id feel like such a lazy bum so i dont know

my morals conflict with my sloth

CURVE THE TANGENTS

Someone make a rip off of Wanted where this animator is born with the ability to curve slopes in the graph editor in maya.

MRat

That sounds really gay and unfunny IMO

Be that as it may, Zekey, Rtil, Bug, even WPS when he tries and a couple others are all immensely talented animators and artists. And most of the work I see spilling out of schools these days doesn't even come close.

Quote from: KingDavidWPS you are really immature, RTIL is a nice normal guy and i'm not kissing his ass either - he's earned his title, and that's my opinion. Why the fuck would you join RTIL's forum if you had a problem with him and his society? I thought you left besides, yes you have talent but that doesn't give you the right to be an arrogant prick - i don't even care if you're joking.

Quote from: taylorseriously wps and sinister are the most annoying people on the forums next to like yungjazz and mindchamber

every post by wps is elitist shit in all caps and telling people that they suck
Quote from: f0dwps and sinister are gay with all their hateful shit
