How does a modern cartoon have animation this expressive, this smoothly animated, have clear golden age cartoon and R&S influence, accomplish being visually experimental and interesting, yet still have mediocre at best writing?There have been a couple of good slapstick cartoons the past couple of years like that new Mickey Mouse stuff, if they wanna be a slapstick cartoon why don’t they just get writers from those?
>>150522925Cause its average for a zombie show to run out of ideas and it’s clear these animators would kill to work on another modern cartoon with this style, ffs that 1930’s styled Hamdonia episode was the furthest from SpongeBob an episode can be.
When evaluating an art portfolio there's a high degree of subjectivity, but visual art and especially animation there's an obj3ctive hurdle of technical correctness that has to be overcome. You cannot look at a portfolio of scribbly nonsense and just beleive it's good. You certainly won't convince your superiors that way.Writing though. It's equivilent might be grammar and the ability to type. Something literally every single writer submitting their work will have aced. But that won't make your writing good, and evaluation of your writing will be so subjective anyone could claim anyone is good or bad. As far as superiors are concerned they're too busy to read 1 let alone hundreds of writing examples. Where as in a single glance you can tell if a drawing is shit.Lastly the Los Angeles writers are a cartel of talentless hacks who've got each other's backs.
