FRIDAYS ARE GOOD TOO

BA BARACUS IT IS TIME FOR ACTION
Hotel Transylvania Gets a 2D Transfusion
… the technical demands nearly upended SPA, especially after its recent strides with photo-realism. They worked on the fly for a year keeping up with Tartakovsky: creating new pipeline, breaking rigs and coming up with various deforming tweaks to get the right squash-and-stretch in CG. They emphasized lattice, clusters, sculpt deforms, wrinkle free and blend shapes. They also came up with a visual language that was strong on silhouettes and drop off detail in the distance (trees look like inkblots).
During one sequence in Humanville, for instance, Drac sees that one of the zombie’s heads has fallen off and he zips through the crowd very quickly and becomes snake-like.
And similar to Glen Keane on Disney’s Tangled, Tartakovsky drew over the footage to illustrate the extreme poses that he desired. The animators were then on their own to figure out how to translate it. “What scared us initially is that we had a lot of assets but they were built for a different picture, from a different director’s point of view,” explains Dan Kramer, the VFX supervisor. “The characters were the same, the castle was the same but we had to roll with it. We had to figure out how to get there. And we never wanted to compromise the story or Genndy’s vision. And so we had to make those decisions very quickly and decisively. Luckily, we had a director who knew what he wanted.”
But in the past they’ve hesitated to let a character get off model. You’re going to change features where it doesn’t feel like the same character anymore. “Genndy wanted to dispel the notion that we were breaking the character or taking it off model,” Kramer adds. “What was important to him was that he got the pose he wanted. He was OK if a character looked different because it was a momentary action. Sometimes it was all about taking a character from one place to another; other times it was more in your face. Genndy wasn’t afraid to stretch characters. He doesn’t have much experience with CG animation. You might be stretching polygons in such ways that the textures get really soft or look stretchy. Or you might be twisting the polys in a way that it creates a discontinuity in how the model shades. I just had to let it go. To Genndy, it was a matter of hitting the emotion he wanted. When he did draw overs, it was freeing for the animators. And it’s changed my viewpoint in being a little looser.”
Tartakovsky really upped the imaginations of the artists by pushing the CG ideas into more of a 2D world. “Certainly, we thought of it more as a 2D movie in our approach,” concedes character animator Bill Haller. “Of course, there were always the technical challenges we’d have to overcome with rigs and stuff and we thought of it more in poses and breakdowns even trying to simulate smears.
this is why I am seeing this movie: because this is awesome.
lol doing this would be a gigantic hassle, like, to bend the rigs and make this silhouette, but I am so looking forward to how 2D this movie will have become thanks to Genndy. It’s going to look amazing :D
The character of Dracula absolutely sold me on this movie. Just in the trailers, he has a wonderfully 2D way of moving, where his upper body may remain completely motionless as his legs jaunt about wildly, creating this wonderful, stalkery, dark and brooding silhouette that just hasn’t been seen in 2D films (Tangled gets VERY close, since Keane did the same thing, as mentioned!).
Wonder if Idg, Eliese, and Josh are up for seeing this soon.

Stop being sick, you jerk.
I tried talking myself out of it, but it just made me want to go to the bathroom.
So, uhm.

We really need to plan another get together to help take your mind off that.
I haven’t had any social interaction in almost a month outside of being told places aren’t hiring right now but always accepting resumes, so that would probably be good
Maybe when we get a little more money we can see a movie or something
idginator replied to your post: dongsparty replied to your post: dongsparty…
Fine, but next time we have movie night, I’m buying you a drink!
I was gonna try to say something classy but no that just sounds fuckin’ good
dongsparty replied to your post: dongsparty replied to your post: dongsparty…
Yeah, I think my discount basically ended up being, uh, the sales tax. GROSS
Yeah, not exactly a huge job benefit, sadly
dirkbolero replied to your post: faultywording replied to your post: Games are…
Also: Nintendo, drop the prices on your DS games. Mario Kart DS is how many years old now, and still 30 bucks?
Never understood Nintendo’s unwillingness to lower their prices for older titles. Then again, they also don’t typically sell their first party titles for as much as their console/handheld competitors so it USUALLY balances out. Wii U’s going with 60, however, so we’ll see if that holds up
idginator replied to your post: Hey guys If I told you I wanted to get a few…
I was already planning on sending you like another 5er or something because fuck that sketch was worth more than $5. Shut up it was.
You let me go nuts with it and do whatever I want, it came out to about even, honestly
idginator replied to your post: there is so much i really wanna complain about…
That never stopped me from venting. Do what you think you need to!
I typed a big long thing that was stupid so I deleted it, but it was basically this:
I don’t have a method to vent in the way I feel I need right now, and I feel silly laying myself bare to a couple hundred strangers who likely follow me for any number of other reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with my little personal posts
Then again, lack of ventilation’s always been my problem
Including the back seat of Nissan Muranos, for some reason
Why can’t they make a car where you can get full blasts of AC no matter where you sit, that’s bullshit
I wonder if I can finish Donut’s commission tonight
LET’S FIND OUT……..
I BELIEVE IN YOU, ZACK.
I SINCERELY DOUBT I CAN BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ONE
But it’ll at least be finished by tomorrow, depending on if I do color or not!
