When your stupid wizard parents force you to make the bed.
this is a fucking cinematic masterpiece
Fun fact: Kevin Parry, the dude in this vine works for Laika and did animation on The Boxtrolls and Kubo and the Two Strings.
ive reblogged this before but not with that last addition
Same here. That’s impressive.
This is gorgeous. Who did this?
I did! :)
Tifa animation based on her deathblow attack! Loading Tifa up with deathblow and cover and counterattack is always my favorite thing. Also the Curse Ring.
I put her in a coat etc because I was talking with someone about Great Glacier and for god’s sake, please let them wear coats in the remake.
Aveline is so great you guys
Jonathan Cooper was the Animation Director on Assassin’s Creed 3.
Dan Lowe was the Senior Technical Animator on Watch Dogs.
Both are calling out the Assassin’s Creed: Unity team on their bullshit about not including female avatars in multiplayer.
At one time, one of Toothless’s animator stuck a ball of duct-tape on his own cat’s tail for reference which ended up perfect for this shot. (actual footage of his cat he used)
AWWWWWW
And to think just earlier this week you had the New York Times calling Hollywood about their long time claims about not being able to lead movies. And now you have a big name comic and animated creator telling us exactly what Hollywood thinks of girls when it comes to shows targeted at kids.
Paul Dinis is interviewed on Kevin Smith’s Fatman on Batman podcast this week and during it he explains from personal experience how Hollywood devalues female viewers and female characters. Dini was, of course one of the creators on Batman: The Animated Series. He has also written and produced a number of other animated shows including Batman Beyond in addition to writing comics. The Emmy award-winning creator also had a live-action show targeted to younger viewers call Tower Prep.
In the interview, transcribed by Agelfeygelach Dini talks about the change in how Hollywood views the audience for animation (this starts around 41:00.- bold mine)
But then, there’s been this weird—there’s been a, a sudden trend in animation, with super-heroes. Like, ‘it’s too old. It’s too old for our audience, and it has to be younger. It has to be funnier.’ And that’s when I watch the first couple of episodes of Teen Titans Go!, it’s like those are the wacky moments in the Teen Titans cartoon, without any of the more serious moments. ‘Let’s just do them all fighting over pizza, or running around crazy and everything, ’cause our audience—the audience we wanna go after, is not the Young Justice audience any more. We wanna go after little kids, who are into—boys who are into goofy humor, goofy random humor, like on Adventure Time or Regular Show. We wanna do that goofy, that sense of humor, that’s where we’re going for.’”
Okay, so they want younger kids. But wait, it gets worse.
Dini talks a bit about Young Justice and how it had a sophisticated mythology (he calls them “Buffy style stories) but now they have to be, based on his interactions and observations, funny and … NOT FOR GIRLS… (warning f bombs ahoy!)
I reblogged this interview earlier, but here's more commentary that's worth reading (and a transcript that's a little easier to read).
