Damn, American Dad got its budget slashed. It's a little hard to watch now.
The first part looks fine, it's just the close-up at the end that is clunky because of the angle Steve is running at. It's a decently dynamic scene for a cartoon sitcom.
Yeah not a good example of low budget animation. Not for television.The real scandal is that 99% of the time the animation is very unambitious. Characters walk in and out of frame to talk. This scene is actually trying.
>>152825303I just didn't like how awkward Steve looks in this scene. He looks like he's running on ice here. Stan flapping his arms on the ground after being pinned also looks cheap. The cabinet and the table are also magically fixed in the second scene. The rest of the episode didn't look very good either especially with how more "standing around and talking" scenes there were. I'm comparing this against the previous TBS seasons which looked like they had more money put into it.
>>152825221How does a budget get slashed going from cable back to network?
>>152825724Ask FOX. They also cut the writing staff.
how is this any different from the garbage animation is had before?
