Gotham Gazette VI: 99 Problems and a Reboot Ain't one!

[thwhtGuardian]

Sweet, I can't wait to see it. I love seeing work in progress kind of stuff.

[Personamanx]

Like I said. Most of it is plenty Blah so far but I'm getting there.

[thwhtGuardian]

I enjoyed your previous demo reel so I imagine I'd like the new stuff. I still think that solar system model was pretty neat.

[Personamanx]

SO many things were wrong with it. But I don't expect to do anything fantastically at this point. Just gonna try my hardest really.

[thwhtGuardian]

It kind of reminded me of an old documentary I saw in elementary school that was narrated by Patrick Stewart

[Personamanx]

Well I reckon that's a swell thing.

[thwhtGuardian]

It was pretty awesome...I mean it's Patrick Stewart, you really can't go wrong with him.

[Personamanx]

Aye, he's pretty awesome. Always wanted to see his performance of "Waiting for Godot" with Ian McKellen.

[thwhtGuardian]

I've heard good things about it, I've also wanted to see his role in Hamlet.

I wish dvd's of theatre were more widespread.

[Personamanx]

Aye, often times they're not very good to be honest but even at their worst they're worth it if the performance is grand enough.

[thwhtGuardian]

Aye, often times they're not very good to be honest but even at their worst they're worth it if the performance is grand enough.

Yeah, the few I've seen aren't filmed very well but I would like to experience more great theatre, it's just so expensive to do it live.

[Personamanx]

But yeah, I would love to see some of the Stewart stuff on DVD one day. Like the Race reversed version of "Othello" he starred in for example.

[thwhtGuardian]

That sounds really interesting, I've never heard of that one but man now that you've mentioned it I'm going to have to look into it.

I love Shakespeare.

[beetlebum]

Yes, of course. But even so they used some pretty basic techniques even if admittedly they did them far better than I can at this point. The Bones looked good because truth be told they are exceptionally easy to animate (The stock characters we use in our classical animations greatly resemble the Bones so much that I turned one of them into Smiley for one of my assignments). I'm all for a classically animated Bone film but if so it would have to go WAY beyond that.

Oh definitely, I'd want the animation to be top quality. I just thought the clip looked fun and I was pretty impressed that someone put that much work into it.

I'd love to see more of your assignments.

I agree with Guardian here.

I just finished watching the demo reel in your sig and found it wasn't too bad.

Is that what you guys were referring to, btw? I'm in and out of this conversation so I just wanted to be clear.

[Personamanx]

Yes, that's the demo reel we're talking about. But seriously right now it's garbage, it's not expected to be good now. I've seen what graduates have done and ye, hopefully I'll get there but right now it's not anywhere near a place I would call good. I'm proud of what I did so far but I know what "good" is now, and as for my work so far it just isn't.

That sounds really interesting, I've never heard of that one but man now that you've mentioned it I'm going to have to look into it.

I love Shakespeare.

Yep, and Othello is one of my favourites. First one being A Midsummer Night's Dream... just for Tom Snout.
