This is looking pretty sweet despite the horribly faux-intellectual spiel that keeps popping up in the first half
I hope he does end up making it and i also hope that he doesn't make it too dark and serious, because it has shark people fighting which is laughably stupid (if somewhat cool) in its own right.
The animations a bit wobbly and over-animated (seems like he's constantly animating in ones) but still. Might shape up to be some good shit, I'm actually curious to see how it'd pan out.
Minor irritation: FLASH ARTISTS SHOULD STOP REFERRING TO THEMSELVES AS "SO-AND-SO STUDIOS"
Yeah I saw this the other day and was pretty amazed by it. But yeah the whole WERE PRETTY COOL CUZ WE HAVE A STUDIO thing does bug me.
It's still very nice though!
Like early stages of a bug while in the shape of a small red fruit? Figure that one out.
Seriously speaking though, I think people just do it for the "it looks cool at the beginning of the movie" type of feel, but maybe people do it because they work in a team, though it looks like only one person did the animation for this.
Ah well, looks pretty neato. Left a review.
an ansel studios production 2009
all rights reserved
the animation and graphics are good.
animator
soundtrack composer
sound designer
wow it's a studio
I surely hope they hire a writer
A fucking faggot production
One day I'll do that bug
it was beautiful, but i got annoyed with having to read all the quotes
Quote from: bugthey should stop putting long ass intros in the beginning of their crap too.
and if one more person starts saying "newgrounds derp!" in the beginning then they might as well go the extra length and just beat themselves in the face with a tire iron and put that in the beginning too.
Haha you talking about when people go "NEWGROUNDS EVERYTHING BY EVERYONE" at the start?
^ probably, it is annoying
i remember seeing a piece of this a long time ago, i thought it was going to be a cartoon and not a trailer. but i'm glad it's just a trailer because it's freaking 12mb , understandable i guess . in the end though the trailer will probably be better than the feature length
Which is why I pledge never to make trailers

Yeah, at first i thought he was making it a series or a flash split into several parts or whatever but after looking up on it this seems more like a network pitch. He really should have used those title cards to actually explain the story though, cos if i was some big exec i'd have a billion questions rolling around in my head about what the fuck it was meant to be about.
I think he could have compressed it more (it was pretty short for its size) but there's a lot of filters in it too.
The story is about a siren, a boy, a furry and a tough guy that do epic shit
oh and they like falling from cliffs when it's windy

Quote from: lenkabiscaHaha you talking about when people go "NEWGROUNDS EVERYTHING BY EVERYONE" at the start?
That's required to be there in some way if the movie is sponsored by the site. Otherwise people throw it in there just for the hell of it as far as I know.
it wouldnt be half as good if the sound effects and music weren't added. it really made it a lot better in my opinion. sound can really work wonders on how a flash turns out.
uh sea people? how uninteresting can you get
I fucking hate cryptic subtitles. Were any of those quotes supposed to make any sense?
And did anybody read the apparent summary in the author's notes?
"It's about kids who want to be heroes;
It's about a man who is trying to escape his violent past;
It's about a being who fought against his own brothers;
It's about sisters who had lost each other."
All I saw were angry ninja fish men, the obligatory naked chick from Granfaloon's Valhalla Knights, and peasants who apparently got black belts in tae kwon do.
I really, REALLY don't know about this one. Especially since this two minute, low-res short capped at 12 MB.
Quote from: GadZooks"It's about kids who want to be heroes;
It's about a man who is trying to escape his violent past;

It's about sisters who had lost each other."
Thing is he could have put these in as title cards thus explaining the characters, instead of the pretentious prose at the start.
I cant believe there fucking connecting it to WWII.
Its cool its going back in time, but what the hell does WWII have
to do with anything, I guess that makes them able to put army men in it.
But I think they would be at war with people not fish...

WWII is just the 'inspiration' i think
The enemies are probably a nazi-like organization
I hate it when people compare the plot of Lord of The Rings to WW2. I may be to close minded in drawing social comparisons, but I think its a very flimsy comparison when held to literal standards.
Where were we?
wow that was really boring
Hello guys, well first of all it is kind of sad that you are bashing a nice animation like this where we have stuff like Johnny Utahs shape shits on the frontpage, even if its spam, yeah it's funny but it takes away frontpage space for animations that were probably great and overlooked.
I am a friend of the animator of this trailer and well, its kind of dissapointing for him that when someone googles Serpent's Grave the first thing that appears is this thread with much hate towards the project. He has been working on this for a while, has got voice actors and a scriptwriter to help, and this is not just another TO BE animation, as this is actually going to happen. Reading parts of the story myself, I see a lot of potential into it.
It's not called Skyfall Studios just because, it's not only Toniko but I am also a member of Skyfall Studios, as well as several other animators and concept artists, writers, sound editors, compositors, and independent film directors that have joined to collaborate on each other's projects as well as give C&C. We don't intend acting out as if we were a big important studio, it's just a name for our group so don't be offended for it.
Anyways, I'm not saying it's the best animation ever or that everyone should like it, but let's give him a chance, we are just artists and do this for other's entertaining and really seek no money, we just want to give the best of us and show how much work we put into our projects.
It's just a Pitch by now, so a lot of things could change.

Its really hilarious that all you 12 year old's made it past the registration question. You are all pathetic losers who haven't accomplished or established any reputation within the animation industry. Get working on it or shut the fuck up.
Get a fucking life ok ? Skyfall studios own the shit out of all of you. N00bs
guess what
I don't think anybody really needs a reputation in any industry to say that something looks bad. If that were the case, nobody could say how bad the Date and Epic Movies (among the others) were.
To put it more bluntly:
I think this trailer (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/478669) has more aesthetic value than Serpents Grave. Subtitles actually tie into the movie, the plot is clear, and a helluva lot more concise.
Overall, I'm more optimistic for this than SG... if only it were being made

I think some people need to grow up and accept that not everyone is going to magically like what they like.

This is the most immature comment I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of posts by Snawsball. Its like Dreamworks telling me to shut the fuck up because I didn't like Shrek 2. Yeah we may be 'nobodies' (hell i only animate for fun at the minute but this year I'm pushing myself to the limit) but an opinion is an opinion.

What are you serious?
Dile is like one of the MOST respected regs on the NG art forum... even after he left the place. Now everybody there is sobbing about how they lost a great artist.
Well, KEEP SUCKING A MILLION COCKS PER SECOND AND DIE ALREADY FAGGOTS.
As for Diles post above, id never thought he would be so... narrow minded. Damn. So talented but still puffing air outta his ass. What a shame.

not gonna look for it since most of your art is copied from conceptart.org

QuoteIn fact, I don't care of any of this. And whoever said that "it was the most immature they had ever seen" .. well, welcome to the internet. Its been around since 1957, and been in most homes since 1997. So if that is the most "Immature you've ever seen" just visit Newgrounds.
WELCOME TO THE INTERNET WHERE I CAN BE AN IMMATURE LITTLE BITCH

Well believe me buddy, we're way ahead of most people when it comes to using that percentage of brain cells to not look like a bunch of retards on crack. This isnt Newgrounds. Youre the one who should be doing research right now before barging in here like a superhero some type while generalizing us as a bunch of pretentious dipshits. You better put that blind rage behind asap for your own good here, if you dont want to be remembered like this from time to time. And im not talking only about this forum.

What are you talking about, that animation or lenkos comment? Well what i know is he meant YOU. The way you come in so buff and shit makes you look funny, it aint gonna wear off for a while. As for Newgrounds... theres nothing more to know about that place than we already know lmfao. I agree with lenko, you type like we were born yesterday.
Quote from: WilliamI don't care of this forum either, you have 990 members. You should be glad I signed up.
You really think anyone here gives a shit? This place is full of faggots already, we dont need more of them unless they pull their heads out of their asses and stop posing themselves all over.
Quote from: WilliamI apologize if the people who said good things about Skyfall were offended by my post .
I havent even said a word. I saw your first post just now, and i cant help it but feeling sorry for you.
Sorry bout this wall. What a long fucking reply. It was worth it.
no one can argue that serpents grave was a beautiful animation. it was extremely well done, but the subject of the flash just didn't appeal to everyone here. Somebody not liking your animation is no reason for you to show disrespect to them. many members here are talented animators/artists as well, and they also have their work harshly criticized on a regular basis. welcome to the art world.

lmfao zwickel
anyway this thread is spiralling down along the same path so many others on so many sites have done. Over time, the patterns become obvious. First there's the impulsive, scandalized rage, the crude insults, the weak attempts at verbal abuse. Then there's the apologies, the bargaining, the attempts to redeem themselves. Folllowing that is the meek facade of indifference, trying to pass it all off as a joke or mistake, and then at last the final, impudent, arrogant equivalent of rage-quitting an online game-- the silence.
IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME
PEOPLE ARE SHIT
