Yeah, quickly slam together. I'm well aware of the efforts it takes to make such shows (even though they are prime examples of limited animation) but the end result only needs to superficially look like such shows. Enough to satisfy the customer and to make them believe they have made something that is close to animation that can be seen on the telly.knunk wrote:WOW! Quickly slam together?!?
Im speechless.....
And all with minimal effort, of course.
We're talking business here. Not art. It's clear to me that there's a demand of people who want to make cartoons but are not willing to develop drawing skills (some of them cant even be bothered to read a 200 page manual). They want to make something that only takes them 2 days and looks good enough to impress their friends.
Of course, my advice, as always, is to make a 100 drawings each day from live action movies. To pay special attention to hands, to characterization, exaggeration, lines of action, etc. And after a couple of years (and some good advice based on those drawings), one will be good enough to do some real animation.
But this is not what the majority of people want to hear or do. They just want to slam together a cartoon which looks (superficially) professional and they want to do it with minimal effort. The demand is clear. And there isn't a program yet that satisfy that demand (AFAIK) so it might as well be ASP.
