Bad animation


Is it my imagination or is the animation in the new episodes just seem wrong and very rushed? I have nothing against the show itself but I feel the animation style has kicked the bucket as of recent.

~Damn, look at all those fans! It's like fan diarrhea!

Did you look at the 3rd season of DEXTER'S LABORATORY? It's bad.

Or just animated by computers. Not all Flash animation is hand-drawn. Look at Homestar Runner.

What program is Foster's made with? I know Mucha Lucha is Flash, Aqua Teen is After Effects...

reply

Nevermind: I found the answer.

"The show is produced entirely in-house using computer vector graphics programs, including Macromedia Flash, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects. This all-digital animation method is relatively inexpensive, and unlike most American traditionally animated shows, none of the animation is done overseas."

reply

That animation is annoying. I know it's cheap but I prefer the times when they actually put real effort in their cartoons. The writing isn't very good in most flash-animated shows as well (A few are okay).

Well believe it or not, South Park is also animated on computers. They use much more complex programs to animate it though so it doesn't get the crappy look and feel of flash. The original animation of all the forementioned shows were wonderful but when they started animating them on computer they completelly destroyed the creator's style that had been set in the seasons past. It bothers me because the writing went down hill allong with all the animation too.

aqua teen hunger force is not bad animation

reply

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is not Flash based animation. The images were made using Adobe Photoshop, animated with Adobe After Effects, and edited with Final Cut Pro (Apple)

I don't care about the graphics or the effects.The problem is that the show is not funny anymore.Now it's like the other lame shows on CN.Except Samurai Jack, Megas and Fosters Home-they kick ass! ;)
