love the new junior senior vid... |
|
|
sorry [oat] what exactly are big blocky shapes? |
|
|
I think I know what you mean and like the idea very much |
|
|
may I suggest pulp fiction? |
|
|
It is rather vague, isn't it? Basically I imagined it as something akin to Atari 800 or DOS VGA graphics. Anyone remember Commander Keen? |
|
|
Played Commander Keen to death.
I suppose for this idea to work you'd need a film with a lot of instantly recognisable shots. 2001 might be a good place to start. |
|
|
Oh, crap. I accidently deleted your comment, po. Blah. |
|
|
//not the classic film rendered in cgi then? - po// |
|
|
No, CGI is fun but overdone. I'm thinking more pixel-art style. |
|
|
I can't offer block animation but I can offer Star Wars using Ascii animation (asciimation). This is an old art of using an Acii file, complete with cursor control characters, on a terminal emulator. The Star Wars film is probably the pinnacle of the art. |
|
|
However who could forget "Bambi meets Godzilla", an older classic short Ascii movie? |
|
|
Yes, sort of like ASCII animation...I guess it's kind of baked. Maybe these movies could be watched on Gameboys, though I don't think Gameboys are capable of speech. |
|
|
Ascii is indeed 8-bit, but without sound, excepting for bleeps. |
|
|
Ari, - whoever? - could forget... |
|
|
you online? I promised to give you a stern look <g> |
|
|
Guilty as charged. I will demur. |
|
|
In many cases this would require multiplying by 4. |
|
|
"CGI is fun but overdone" Huh? They're just getting warmed up. It's yet in it's infancy. |
