2019-11-18 22:03:11 UTC what is with people and using single segment and single color backgrounds in combination with their single color base stickfigures in their complex pseudo-3D stick nodes animations with a lot of camera movement and panning mode abuse
it’s the most confusing and nauseating thing on the planet
Stick Nodes®
A stickfigure animation app created for mobile devices!
Create your own stickman animations on your Android or iOS device!
is…is this a diss on typical rhg battles or am i a dumb
it is
ah
well it’s a thing, it’s always been a thing
for example
talented-ass animator but look at the characters
same with popular series, one of my favorite being castle
it’s just, a thing
idk
yeah but those have clear visual indication that something is supposed to be moving (stuff in the background, on the floor etc)
a lot of stick nodes animations do not and it is confusing asf
i was going to go into more discussing that but i didn’t want to write a thesis
people try to emulate this, but because its SN and not Flash, the same level of detail cannot be achieved realistically
(well, now with movieclips the playing field has been leveled *somewhat* so…)
but you see some SN animations that are “plain dudes” fighting that are still “wow” worthy bc animated well with amazing choreography/camera etc (Joker etc)
it boils down to people just emulating what they’ve seen and basically just having a good time
then you got your Serious Animators™ who take things to the next level with character designs and plot and backgrounds etc (EB, Epitaph, JackFly, Mici, etc)
thank you for attending my ted talk
it’s been possible for a bit with parallax and stuff but I get what you’re saying
i actually came up with the idea for built-in parallax support after watching one of the later Elements episodes actually lol
I saw how SGA was moving the backgrounds and thought I could make it automated/easier
unfortunately it’s still a bit complex and ain’t don’t nobody use it……….
Ah fook m8 Castle series was the shit-
yeah
now i’m thinking and idk if it ever concluded or ever will
Fite me bi#cht
1v1 me irl even though i’m pretty sure you live on a different continent but we’re gonna ignore that part
U ded in the second u see my shadow
what if I’m blind-
Well shit
you don’t qualify your guy has a unique style with them big-ass eyes
…uhh…well…i…[heck] you
