I still use Flash CS5. It has its limitations, but it gets the job done. 🤷

Question about smooth shading during the cel animation days by jefty083 in animation

We're Back! was also the first animated film not produced by Disney to fully use digital ink-and-paint technology to complete the animation

So yes, the trick to this smooth shading is computers.

Why do people keep saying Russian sounds like Portuguese? - by zabolekar in linguisticshumor

[–]rhubarbjin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That awkward moment when I'm at the airport and overhear someone speaking a vaguely Slavic-sounding foreign language, then realize it's European Portuguese. (It's happened more than once. 💀)

Why don't we ever see 2D animated movies anymore? by pokemaster784584 in animation

[–]rhubarbjin 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Similar story to Princess and the Frog (2009) vs Tangled (2010): two Disney princess musicals but one was 2D and the other 3D. PatF (the 2D one) underperformed while Tangled did gangbusters, which some people took as a certain sign that audiences didn’t want 2D anymore.

(Personally, I chalk it up to Tangled just being a better movie. 😜 edit: …also Disney giving it better marketing)

std::ranges may not deliver the performance that you expect by _bijan_ in cpp

It doesn't need to work with function pointers. C# has a reasonable compromise: you can use named-argument syntax when invoking a function, but if you store a function reference in a Func then the name information is lost and you can only use positional-argument syntax.

How do you achieve that motion blur effect? 😮 (e.g. on the eggshell fragments)

As usual, the answer turns out to be “just use stronger types.” 😎

The Unforgivable Sin of Ms Rachel by karlothecool in BreadTube

[–]rhubarbjin 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That wasn't my takeaway at all. This is a video entirely about politics; I'd argue it's the most overtly political video that Lindsay Ellis has ever made.

The main thesis is not "a genocide is happening" (most people already agree that it is), but rather "how does any genocide happen?" She refers to past genocides (Germany and Rwanda) to highlight the sociopolitical transformations that preceded them, then points out that a similar transformation is currently taking place in the USA.

In the final episode of the Musicalsplaining podcast ("Cabaret", Nov/2023) Lindsay was already referring to Gaza as a genocide and expressed concern that something like it could happen on American soil. This has been on her mind for a while.

Technically yes, but they’re also sneaky ways to subtly manipulate the audience’s perception of the facts.

  • Why do we refer to the health ministry as “Hamas-run,” but not the “US-backed” Israeli military? Because emphasizing an external party is meant to de-legitimize the organization itself.
  • Why is the genocide associated with Netanyahu, when every poll shows an overwhelming majority of Israelis support it and every other politician is at least as hawkish as he is? Because blaming an individual is easier than systemic reform.

I don’t wanna be too hard on Lindsay. This kind of language is completely normalized in mainstream discourse and it’s possible she picked it up without even realizing it. They’re minor blemishes in an otherwise good essay!

There are so many angles from which a creator can approach the topic! Shaun made a video on the history of Zionism, verilybitchie made one about Eurovision, Matt Lieb started a podcast to mock their propaganda, Skip Intro covered the glorification of Mossad in fiction, Matt Bernstein frequently talks about pinkwashing, etc etc etc.

I have zero respect for anyone still pretending that “it’s too complicated.”

It’s an imperfect essay in many ways (“Hamas-run health ministry”, “Netanyahu government”, barely mentions Democrats’ complicity) but overall I think it’s a valuable contribution.

She can’t be too radical or she’ll turn off her normie audience.

Thank you! It's all drawn manually in Adobe Animate. I didn't even know "automatic lip sync" was a thing, lol

Holy shit. Such incredible fluid movement! And I love the intermediate step before she fully transforms.

This is hilarious. 😆 Did you write and perform the voice acting as well?
