Scott Pilrgrim Takes Off is one of the best adaptations I’ve seen. It’s so clearly made by people who still love the source material, but have thought about it over years and have asked the question, “what happens next? What does this mean for these characters in the long run?” And because it has a much longer run time than the movie, it has time to explore those questions while also playing around with the source material while also giving us the amazing visuals and humor we expect from Scott pilgrim. It’s like someone asked “we have a great premise, that’s already been played straight before, what can we do with it now?” And then made the absolute most out of those 8 episodes that they could. Utterly magnificent. Also knives chau joins sex bobomb and becomes friends with Stephen and Kim and it’s perfect, 100/10
when ppl say flash animation pretty much always what i can tell they’re actually thinking of is what is referred to in animation practice as puppet animation, which i agree sucks like 90% of the time (there are a FEW shows that use it very masterfully, like homestar runner and one i’ll show later, though)
guess what? this is flash!
this is also flash!
THIS is puppet animation:
the funniest part is that most puppet animation isn’t even done in flash anymore. people use after effects instead because it has MUCH more sophisticated and useful tools meant specifically for puppet animation.
the technique can be used well, however. my little pony does it so fluidly it looks practically seamless.
homestar runner doesn’t focus nearly as much on fluidity, but instead on constructing strong, expressive key poses and making every frame really count.
puppet animation isn’t even limited to digital mediums. in fact, it’s not new at all.
the adventures of prince achmed is the world’s oldest surviving feature-length animated film - that’s right, predating snow white by over 10 years - and it was done entirely using puppet animation; black paper cutouts atop illuminated backgrounds. and it’s truly fucking breathtaking.
“From yesterday’s protest, I remembered @/AlarKaris’ [president of Estonia] words about sanctions: “There would pain to the West as well but that pain must be endured. The pain of the Ukrainians is greater.”
This kind of behaviour is needed across Europe. May it be power outages, a cold room, shortages of gasoline – if we must, then we must 💪”
