Final Fantasy VII is also really interesting to look at, though I couldn't get into the story. What I like about VII is that they used a photorealistic CG approach yet kept the anime style in the characters' physical characteristics -- larger eyes, clumping hair (in some cases). And the "sets" and ...

Isn't anyone gonna yell at me for threadjacking? You guys are all so easy going.

I'm guessing when you asked about Final Fantasy, you meant the movie...

Yup, I meant the movie.

Personally, I thought FF was visually amazing, and I don't mind that they "cheated" by using motion capture. But IM H O, if you're going to model an entire world in the computer and then tell a sci ...

Ok, I'm gonna throw out a potentially controversial question: Anyone like Final Fantasy?

Just re-edit your second post and say something relevant to the thread.

You couldn't just hook me up? You had to get me monologuing in front of all these people? Who's gonna pay my therapy bills? What will I do with all the lightning ready to discharge through my shambling talons? Oh, wait, maybe ...

Woops, I accidentally posted twice, but can't delete. Sorry. Moderator? Help me out.

Following Christian's advice below...

Have you ever heard Eisner say that he likes to make one plus one add up to five? Well, when Disney bought Pixar, they made 2d and 3d add up to 8d. That's right folks ...

So why should anyone make 2d films at all? Why doesn't Disney just concentrate on making really good CGI films, especially now that they have Pixar's input?

That's for the Walt Disney Feature Animation to do ...

Actually, the first I heard of it was on here. I totally missed it. Good eyes Bra d ndon.

Did anyone stay for the Coca Cola 600? It was cool that Scott Riggs in the #10 Valvoline car was in the lead for so much of the race. He had one of three cars with a Cars paint scheme (as you already know). On ...

Sorry to revive this thread, but I had to share this. If you left Charlotte after the premiere, then you probably didn't see this...



No, it's not a Photochop.

Any Mac geeks here? Check it out...

Oh, sorry -- neither Monsters nor Incredibles credits were done in Flash.

Brandon, what are you trying to say?

They did 2d for the opening of Monsters Inc, didn't they?

That looked an awful lot like it was done in Flash, which wouldn't be very costly for Pixar at all. I'm not saying that's what they used, but it's a possibility. Still, I wouldn't use something like Flash to animate anything other than ...

Good question. Are there any Pixar peeps on here?

Wow, I fell asleep at the keyboard. That's a sure sign I need to go to bed....
