>fan project called reanimated>the point is to reunite aspiring animators to collaborate into a fun project using seconds of their own made animation>allows sliedshows to little to no animationthey really set the bar way too low. I don't blame the artist who submit its part but the ones behind the project by not being a bit stricter into their quality control. This is supposed to be some spiritual successor of what newgrounds used to make?
>>151912656Yeah might as well let AI do some of these parts.
>>151912656doing live-action sequences it is also cheap but at least it is more animated than a slideshow
>>151912697That would defeat the purpose of it being made by fan animators. It's like asking to make a CPU play for you in a Smash tournament.
>>151912773And the CPU would be more interesting to watch than some of that halfass drivel in that video.
>>151912656>i was 17 at the time, leave me alone!these zoomers have gone way too confident to shield themselves of any criticism using their age as an excuse
>>151912803So would you running through traffic, but I don't see you playing tag with 16 wheelers.
>>151912656why the fuck do they do this to bald characters
>>151912895Follow up question: Why are you as a 17 year old trying to be a big boy animator?
beefing with kids? alright then lol
I once joined a reanimated and put my entire soul into my scene, and then when the final thing released it was 90% mspaint-tier meme reference garbage. So I stopped after that.
>>151913849they don't know how to draw anything except tumblr style
>>151913935Yeah, as an outside observer, I get the feeling that bullshit meme animations get priority for the lulz
>>151912895Dude it's a fan project ok, no need to shit on little timmy because he wanted to be a part of the reanimated.
>>151912656cause their doing it for fun not for making it good, if they wanted good theyd animate their own show ((()))
This projects are lazy for sure but I don't know how you expect to place strict rules in what's essentially a big shitpost.
>>151913935I honestly skip reanimated projects specifically because of this. For every beautifully done, faithful to the source while still showcasing the contributor's artistry scene, there are at least four baby's first animation with a healthy dose of "lol what if it was Undertale characters" for good measure. I understand "X Reanimated" videos are inconsequential passion projects done for fun, but if I wanted to watch a newbie animator fumble their way through their first cartoon I'd go to the Flash Portal on Newgrounds.
>>151912656Putting "must contain actual animation" as a requirement in your animation collab will just make people upset and feel targetted.
>>151912656>bunch of animators get together>instead of making something fresh and new they just rehash an already beloved existing property like a fucking corpo sneed.
i stopped watching these animations cuz 90% of the segments are made by gay 14 year olds using flipaclip
>>151914068i wouldn't mind if they actually put effort instead of regurgitating EEnE sound clips, recreating memes in animated format or making a parody of another more well-known animated medium. This isn't made for the sake of passion for the project, is just made for clout/fishing easy likes
generally the worse the animation of the original the better the reanimated, because that encourages the animators to just do the original but better instead of trying to go off in some Wacky(tm) direction
>>151914115>shitpostaren't they the same people crying because animation isn't a medium taken seriously or are against AI slop because it's not real art? you can't be moving goalpost while wanting to showcase merit in a project made by supposedly passionate people who loves the medium
Every collab like this has maybe 3-4 good, legit parts and then the rest is crap either phoned in for the publicity of being attached to the project, or just done by someone well-intentioned but without skill. The Oneyplays LOTR and Robocop Remake are like, the only exceptions I've seen.
>>151913935I was set to do a scene in one more recently but I dropped out due to not making much progress. I was unsatisfied with how it was coming out and I couldn't think of how to fix it at the time.Seeing the scene my replacement did makes me wish I stayed in though. I'm not saying what I had was amazing but it had way more effort put in than what made it to final
>>151914609ironic that this had more quality than the supposedly reanimated segments
>>151912729There's only been one live-action segment in one of these things that have been good. In the CDi Zelda games where it's a guy who obvious recorded a video of himself, but printed out the frames, and does a stop-motion video of those pictures in a candle-lit room so you can see that it takes the entire life of a candle to go through each frame.
>>151912656>aspiring animators>spiritual successor of newgroundsWhy those expectations? This is clearly teenagers making something for fun because it is fun to make something.
>>151914737Because aspiring animators need feedback and criticism to improve, and attaching themselves to reanimated projects don't do that at all. Every comment will either blandly dick-suck all the animators just for existing, or they'll timestamp the actually good portions to talk about how good they were specifically, leaving out the objectively shite parts.
>>151914737those teenagers SUCK at animating and SOMEONE has to tell them!!!!!! how are they supposed to IMPROVE if no one tells them their shit SUCKS?!
>>151914737The newgrounds guys themselves were teenagers
>>151914737NG was infamous for shitting on terrible animators anonThe household names from NG are the the literal cream of the crop, there's an entire landfill of garbage made by amateurs who never bothered to improve
>>151914779Everyone who animates is an aspiring professional, therefore fan animations should only exist to improve amateurs until they’re employable?>>151914796This is what I am sensing. Different people have different priorities with the medium, sometimes you just gotta let kids do their thing.>>151915005>>151914905As I recall aspiring animators on NG did their work, took initiative to seek feedback and went pro. Kids screwing around for fun did not want or listen to feedback and didn’t stick around. 9/10 of these reanimated projects are baby’s first slideshow crap so projecting anything more onto it is only going to annoy yourself. Ignore em unless it’s something to talk about. Or organize a serious one.
>>151915105>Everyone who animates is an aspiring professional, therefore fan animations should only exist to improve amateurs until they’re employable?No, not until they're "employable", that's not what I said. Fan animations are fine, but stapling them next to seasoned artists just highlights their flaws without actually giving the audience the ability to focus on their animation to give proper feedback. A 9/10 scene that is couched between 2/10 scenes are so focused on that it practically makes those 2/10 scenes invisible in the eyes of the audience, which is either massively unhelpful if they're trying to improve as animators, or completely pointless if you're just doing it for shits and giggles.
>>151915317>not until they’re “employable”My mistake: they’re pointless unless they’re improving as animators, whether they aspire to be employed is irrelevant.>which is either massively unhelpful if they're trying to improve as animators,They did the work. They know where to get feedback somewhere more qualified than the comments section if that is their intention.>or completely pointless if you're just doing it for shits and giggles.Unless the point is doing the work itself. Animators stagnate on bad assignments and productions too. Improving their work now and then is their own responsibility.
>>151912656reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHjNPmxDkW8
>>151912656Almost all Renimateds end up the same way>50% High Quality, "pro" level animation>25% Amateurish but passable animation>25% Dogshit animation. Like, why did you contribute?
>>151912656>I don't blame the artist who submit its part but the ones behind the project by not being a bit stricter into their quality control.Quality control belongs to executive cucks.
