Animation Standards to High?

Posted by tehslaphappy - December 22nd, 2007


Lets think about this for a second, are the standards for flash animation are too high? Let me break it down.

Art:

People nowadays think that art should be more realistic.

If people were to see a animation, let's say made by a Wacom tablet, people would think that the movie would be worth watching.

As in a movie drawn by a mouse, unless your Luis , people wouldn't be all that interested.

Animation:

The old days were when people used tweening often. Now there's "Frame by Frame" and the "V- Cam".

You could make a character tween all across the screen and people would love it, but now some People expect FbF.

The Movie Themselves:

If a movie had a good story, and somehow bad animation, then, people would like it. Now They want both good story and animation.

If I submitted my movies back then in old NG, I would be a famous author, but now the script is flipped.

Authors:

Authors like Stamper or JohnnyUtah can submit absolute crap, and people would love it.

Please don't take this as a rant, just an observation.

Comments?

I agree with alot of that.

How so?

I think tweens have been superseded by fbf simply because fbf looks better so that's not all that surprising.

The brakenwood series proves that story is not needed in a flash and a funny but poorly animated flash will always pass so you're a bit wrong there.

Stamper and Johnny's submissions are not always loved. They just attract alot of people to their submissions because they are admins and the majority of NG users are very young (or new to newgrounds) and don't know what is truly a good submission and what isn't.

Really all these things are just the natural course of nature. There are more users than ever on Newgrounds and people are getting better at flash which raises the bar.

Ok. Thanks for your opinion.
