Yeah you bring up a good point. Looking at jmtb's class of '06 it seems as if almost everyone has either moved on or doesn't post anymore :(

Awww good times...
I miss the days of AITD and AGH and Cook and schorhr and Pako and Scribbler and MethodMinus and Kortex and Sqeezy and Senti and Sneakers and Stem and ArtistJ. Some of them are still around but those are the ones who stood out as regs when I started to post regularly. And Luis stood out as a god :)

Yes, good times indeed +ScaryDeadGirl...

An entire forum dedicated to art finds itself a pale imitation of this thread in it's golden days.

I remember the days of when Luis had his "Lol, level one noob" sig. I personally have seen many regs come and pass in my 1 1/2 years here.

lol theres no good ol days!! its a figment of your imagination much like finding a girlfriend online is. Its just natural human behavior to reminess about things regardless.. in a few years youll be looking back to 2007 saying damn i miss the good ol days when collabs were polutting everyones lives and luis was so cool..

I do miss some users tho, such as livecorpseee and scarydeadgirl cause her art was the shit.

I talk to pako fairly regularly.. i think if there is something to be learned its to persue people you bond with beyond the bbs postings here and there.... this forum / bulletin board is generally just a phase for most people.. you miss out on great opportunities to keep friends if you just sot of let people fade out...

Uh Luis I don't think you remember the collab flood of '05 which lead to the creation of rules for making collabs and then ngcollabs.

Collabs are not polluting our lives right now, but they were back then.

And Luis is not and was never cool.

Grammar Nazi

Do any of you guys ever read other people's post and just wish you could make corrections? My English teacher got me into correcting people, and I just can't help but criticizing other's writing.

I like Foster's Home but thats pretty much it. Theres a show "Ruby Gloom" which is vector and you can see the tweens and then theres Chaotic, which what pisses me off about that show is that, they try and make it like some kind of gigantic adventure and the tweens are as obvious as a LegendaryFrog toon. Tweens are great when you can use em, but they're not noticable, that way it looks natural and not mechanical.

Not seen those shows.

What exactly about vectorised graphics don't you like?

I'd certainlyagree that automatic tweens or reuse of symbols are a shortcut that shouldn't always be taken.

I never have felt like correcting, or even criticizing my 3rd grade teacher used to do that and I decided never to be a dick and do something like that. It definetly has to do with the first person who did that happened to be one of my least favorite people to date, but unless its completely nonsensical I never notice bad grammar or spelling.

I don't know but all this talk about how creepy the general forum is kinda makes me feel like we're the creepy ones... We haven't had anything to talk about other than how immature the general forum is... kind of sad =(

Now I'm gonna bring up haphazard, it looks really well done but this is one of those cases when I feel like the author didn't think about speed of movements and how unnatural they look if they are to quick... Toonimated is great but I think once you start doing a mainly frame by frame of full body animation you can lose site of timing. Almost every shot every part of everyones body is moving, sometimes too slow sometimes to fast.... It just felt wrong.

No disrespect to toonimated he's an amazing animator and the lip sync was top quality.

Haphazard

I agree with you completely, NextToNothing. Everything was way to fast and it looked really unnatural. He if he would have just moved a few body parts at a time, It would have looked that much better.

ya, the hole thing moved way to fast. and yes it would have been better f he would have just moved a few body parts at a time.

Ya i felt like he used waaaaay too many camera angle changes... i mean there is a such thing as too much of a good thing.. i think the sheer number of camera changes made it hard to really get into the story.. if there was one... and yeah i think overall its just too over the top and not as successfully put together .. would have been better off just making it simpler and using less fbf for everything .. didnt help things much and made more labor.

Haphazard

I might PM him or something to suggest changing that for the next episode... the score could have been better, and he would sheer about a week off of working (and when I say a week, I mean working for around 3 hours a day).

I guess it lives up to its name, cuz it felt pretty haphazard. My main beef was the poor framing of the characters...they're almost always full bodied and right in the center of the screen...kind of a major oversight for a movie that tries to use a lot of creative scene framing.

Well theres a term in the designed scene called organized chaos.. its like you can make things look crude or even random but it has to feel deliberate .. which is tough to do .. much like making something feel simple yet not bare.

I rather like his style, it's rather funny how some things aren't meant to fit :D

Bluetooth Headsets
Is anyone annoyed by the whole Bluetooth headset thing? I wonder if its just me or not.

People walking around with them in their ears, even though they are not making phone calls.

People looking at you while talking, but really are talking to someone else on their headset.

Someone walking down the street, looking like they are talking to no one, when their other ear is hiding a Bluetooth headset that you can't see.

People talking to other people while talking to people on their headset as well.

I know some people won't care at all, because people walk around with a cellphone up to their ear like its part of their body. But the Bluetooth headset thing just freaks me out, because I don't know if they are talking to someone or not. You'll only hold a phone up to your ear if you are listening or talking, so it just makes things awkward.

Picture for relevance in case you have no clue what I am talking about.

Bluetooth headsets.
It's funny how they exploit their annoyingness in their commercials XD.
But yeah, you look like a fucking dunce talking to nobody with your little bluetooth.

RE: Bluetooth headsets

Ive never seen them around at all....what i dont like is text messaging. Not the concept itself, just people who do it constantly, all damn day. They have like, MSN style conversations with people while im trying to sit down and talk to them. Its anoying as fuck. I dont see why they cant just put the damn thing down or phone the friggin person.

I completely agree. I can't stand people who just sit there messaging other people all day. The only time I ever message someone is if I try calling them and they don't answer.
Whats I hate even more of people who abbreviate every single word. I mean, spelling 'u' with two more letters really doesn't take much longer and makes you look a whole lot smarter.
But hey, thats just my opinion.
