Flash Crash
Flash Crashes everytime I import more then one image, pretty cool eh?
And I use PhotoShop and FireWorks in conjunction with it for the filters, so when it comes to blurs I have to import, save, close, open and repeat for however many frames. It is annoying and I'm trying to find the disk so I can re-install it.

HTML help thing
Thanks, for the info.

RE: Flash Crash

Man that's gotta suck. The only time flash has crashed with me is once when I set a for loop to for(i=0;i<10000;i++);.

I have a very VERY shitty computer

I've seen every episode to date, and have seasons one and two on DVD.

Tonight its not even on because of the American Idol bullshit.

Yeah, that ticked me off. It's not on next week either.

I will admit its a good show though.

It's a damn good show, and Hugh Laurie is a genius.

Re: House

Scrubs is way more fun to watch. But everything gets owned by 24. Shit, Jack's having a bad day.

He's had a lot of bad days.

Curtis shouldn't have done that to Jack. C'mon, Jack's been having an awful day, he just got out of China, and now he's forced to kill his coworker/friend. I always liked Curtis, but that was just cruel of him. And to top it all off, now a nuke has exploded in downtown LA. Great. Now Jack has to watch out for nuclear fallout radiation, plus stop the other 4 'visitors' from detonating. All thanks to Curtis. Well. Not really.

But House isn't a comedy, it's like comparing apple's and oranges.
Pointless Elaboration (because I can): They are both fruits, but they tasted very different, yet they're both full of sugary goodness. Scrubs and House are both TV shows, but they are different types of shows, yet they are both good in their own way.

But everything gets owned by 24.

Eh, I'm not a huge 24 fan, but it's OK.

Are we talking about the same show here? The House I'm thinking is character driven with great medical twists.

that doesnt disprove what i said. most mellodramatic freewriting style shows are like that.

its been a while since i watched the show. but let me ask a few questions does the episodes always end at the most suspensful part and the beggening of each episode is a recap of last episode? i serously dont remember, i checked youtube but cant find an episode.

if it is, then its like all the other overrated shows on tv that have no sense of direction and rely on spewing out twist after twist after twist. where the writers just write from start to finish in that order never thinking ahead.

again i havent seen the show in forever. so if im wrong please show me an episode on youtube

RE Animation

The difference between Japanese animation and American animation is very obvious. Personally I believe American traditonal animation is of far better quality.

Take an example of say an episode of Inuyasha versus an episode of Brandy and Mr Whiskers.

Both animations are storyboarded, and different scenes are done with different animators to ensure a speedy episode.

In a 15 minute episode of Disney's Brandy and Mr Whiskers, you see fluent animation throughout, most animation is similar and the complexity of the animation of even background characters and objects is unbelievable.

An episode of Inuyasha however, in order to save time and money creates the "illusion" of animation, by using various still shot's and tweening.
Examples are such as an establishing shot, you see a wide shot with various characters etc with dialogue in the background, but the shot is still, no animation just a scrolling character. Tweening is often used in action shot's to establish action without tedius animating. You can see this when inuyasha lunges at an opponent he is moving slightly against the background with the same looping animation going, such as his hair and clothes flowing.

Of course Japanese animation can be as top notch as disney animation, maybe more so. The attention of detail to every single character in the film "Steamboy" is astonishing, that film is a dream to study. The point is, every animation is going to have different styles. There are several animators working to try to get the animation exactly the same as each other. But if time and money is the essence, then animations can be excused for using cheap methods.

i had to look up that show i thought i never saw it.

basically your comparing one of americas best to easily the worst show ever created. inuyasha should not be used to represent anime. for there is nothing decent about that show. plus thats disney. disney shows have always had pretty good animation, and they ned that because their animation supplements their comedy style. but true darkness is talking about shows like family guy and futurama and calling them spectacular.

theres nothing i disagree with in your post, but your comparing American gold to Japanese shit.

I was actually comparing them because they both take roughly the same amount of time to animate and have probably have the sameish amount of animators.

I have nothing against Inuyasha, I believe if there wasn't a time and budget limit it would be phenominal. But nearly every single anime part of a "series" such as Inuyasha, Naruto, Bleach etc use these techniques. Because most so called "anime fans" prefer to watch it with subtitles, they fail to see these short comings.

The best Japanese animated film I've seen was better than the best American animated film I've seen, but the thing that Japanese films get me is the fact they take shortcuts and people fail to pick up on it.

and all those shows are horrible. they're all incredibly childish. and lack a point. like i said before.

they just spew out twist after twist after twist, never thinking ahead so it just goes on and on and on and on with pointless dialogue. bleach is the least of the 3.

also when i say childish i dont mean content wise. i know inuyasha has blood and sexual tension but its still lame and childish with horrible chatacters and subversive anti-feminism.

what ever happened to planning stories out instead of going from page 1 to infinity. all of the best movies were made like that. you think when fight club was written he just grabbed a type writer and played by ear! hell no!

Hes the most sarcastic, cynical and selfish little shit out there.
And thats why i love him.
His one liners are great.
My kind of comedy.
even though the show is supposed to be a drama.

i saw a 2 minute clip of the show and i think house is a better character then dr cox. they're both witty and sarcastic but cox is more sitcom-ish overly witty. im surprised they didnt give him a laugh track.

but scrubs > house. because each episode of scrubs is well thought out and nothing is dragged on. the timing of each episode is perfectly thought out so that each episode has a message and everything is wrapped up. it's like the only show on tv with closure nowadays.

Grey's Anatomy(sp?)

also im not too sure fosters does. because whenever they zoom in on a character the shapes edges get all jagged, when they're meant to look smooth; that doesnt happen in flash. both seem plausible, ill check it out

Well if you're interested

And Grey's ana... is I guess like scrubs, but more serious in a way. Although I haven't really seen scrubs either =p

But Grey's really got me hooked in, if it's ever on go check it out.

I don't find it that funny. To me it's more of just a serious medical drama. Some bits are funny, but it's nothing like halarious or slapstick or anything.

Anime Shortcuts

What once was shortcuts, now is style. All the sweat droplets and whatnot was once used to save time when animation was in its infancy. Now a-days its just the norm, or used for comic relief.

The real shortcuts is when they try and sneak 3D in there. I think it looks awful to see some random faux-anime 3D in shit. For example, in ghost in the shell you sometimes see an obviously 3D generate car driving down the road that doesn't quite fit. Besides that, the show has top notch animation as far I'm concerned.

the sweat drop? are you referring to the gigantic teardrop thing that form on their head when they get nervous? i dont think that was a shortcut, but more of a cartoony emphasis. i dont think drawing detailed sweat would have the same effect.

but alot of shortcuts are still commonly used on purpose.like the speed racer thing where movements are like 1fps and just switch back and forth between 2 drawings. i still think it adds to the cartoonyness since serious scenes don't do it

omg probably my biggest pet peeve in the universe. and as i said before that whole show should have been 3d. its fits the show so perfectly and tose "shortcuts" wouldnt be called shortcuts.

Besides that, the show has top notch animation as far I'm concerned.

everything is smooth which is good, but the actions are boring and too realistic. i dont really like the style (*cough* fits 3d perfectly)

C&P Tolerence

Is it just me, or are more threads showing up asking for help with copied and pasted script? I don't know what's worse; the idea of just making a game with public script, or the quality of the scripts which they often use (there needs to be a rule against writing tutorials about things you know nothing about yourself).

Anyway, in the past we'd have loads of people telling the offender to learn to scipt himself or something, but now it seems like we're just looking for excuses to be helpful. This would generally be a good thing, but when someone's making no attempt to learn I get the feeling that 'helpful' would be actually telling them to try to make their own scripts.

Thoughts?

also, I cut my wrist against a broken swivel chair in physics and now I look like an emo >.<

It's extremely complicated, somewhat impractical, and doesn't look like water at all, but I'll be doing more experiments to see what I could do with the idea.
