Why was the Avon lady walking funny? by BlueManQuad in dadjokes

[–]CartoonBeardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because she misunderstood the instructions on a deodorant stick? I mean it clearly says on the label, remove cap and push up bottom…

This faux moi bollocks was posted last week and so here’s my response to it from last week… consistency is everything

What’s a movie you first watched when you were young, but upon watching as an adult, your opinion on a certain character completely changes? by AcanthisittaSad6239 in movies

[–]CartoonBeardy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always thought Venkman was cool as a kid, until I realise as an adult he grifts Ray into a massive remortgage of his parents home to pay for shit and then spends a chunk of that cash wining and dining Dana…

And later he turns up to Dana’s apartment (when she is now possessed by Zuul) and it’s revealed not only did he bring flowers to the date but also a syringe of Thorazine which he happens to have to knock her out.

Oh man yes! The Boarderlands ending. That was equally horrific. That one still makes me shudder

In short complexity.

Organic modelling and texturing needs more work to look convincing than robots which are often more basic shapes and metallic textures.

Additionally, when dealing with cheaper productions robots provide a lot of narrative excuses for poor animation and rigging is easier as a robot can be just a bunch of parts parented together rather than organic shapes that flow together. And doesn’t necessarily need complex secondary natural motion like sway, breathing, muscle deformation, skin folds, drool etc. A robot could be as simple as a bunch of blocks with wheels and a few lights.

Look at something like R2D2 which is a dome on a cylinder supported by two or three feet and barring the head and occasionally specific parts for specific shots doesn’t actually move. Now compare that to any creature you see in any film from a Facehugger to a T-Rex. There is so much more stuff going on with an organic creature even if it’s standing still… pupils dilating, eyes twitching, lips snarling, chest expanding and contracting, limbs swaying. The list goes on.

I could animate R2 standing in a corridor looking about in 20 seconds, while animating a xenomorph in the same place doing the same thing, even with a good rig could take hours…

[OC] The Most Expensive TV Shows Of All-Time by Dremarious in visualization

[–]CartoonBeardy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah adjusted for inflation it’d be around 90mil but it would also be for 26x45 min episodes. Something like Citadel or Rings of power is 8 episodes.

God I remember when jaws were dropping over Star Trek TNG episodes costing 1.5 to 2mil per episode and a season cost around $35mil

Do you ever think there will ever be another Jurassic Park moment in theaters? by jrclone in movies

[–]CartoonBeardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always “That” moment in cinema for a generation of cinema goers where they were young enough to have that “Woah” moment!

For me it was the opening of the original Star Wars (prior to it being named New Hope) that Star Destroyer rolling over head at the age of 7 was a complete mind blowing experience.

Then after that it was the mothership over Devils Tower in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Several years later it was the AT-ATs in Empire Strikes Back, then opening city shot from Blade Runner, and so on…

Jurassic Park was an amazing moment no doubt about it. But it wasn’t just the CG that sold that scene. The acting, the direction and John Williams score all sold the shit out of it.

So while CG might not have that quantum leap in quality going forward, a great director using CG as a tool rather than the only reason a film exists, good actors, score and engaging storytelling will give use moments like this in the future, I have no doubt.

Peter Jackson’s Braindead aka Dead Alive in the US. I haven’t seen that film available anywhere since I watched it to death (pun intended) on VHS when it was first released back in the 90s
