Not to call you out or anything, but I just did.

lol, I was under the impression that he was kidding. Because yeah, if you were anything near 27 days without sleep you would have already died or passed out, caffeine or no caffeine.

Yeah.. the world record for sleep deprivation is 11 days. So that's bull. My record is five days, wasn't trying to stay up, I just had this drive to finish a project I was working on.

My record is 2 and a half days :/. I just watched a bunch of movies...

I think that's the point, Disney is primarily a kids studio. You're probably too old to enjoy it =\
But every thing said should start with "In my opinion -"...

The problem lies with Disney, not pixar. Pixar makes great animations, Ratatouille (<3 spell check lol) is one of my fav movies. Disney just sucks the life out of everything.

Woops, I think I meant Pixar, or whoever made the ones Radioactive mentioned.

"Crazy Pickled-Eating Mullet Sleep Pattern"

Yeah I take 1-3 hour power naps. I usually stay up motivated by porn and flash I'm working on.
However once and a while it all catches up to me. For example: I fell asleep at 9:00 AM this morning and just woke up at 11:20 PM and had a shower.
Longest I've gone without any sleep period was like 2 & 1/2 days and yeah... it was crazy.

Also: My friend Darryl was hitting on girls on my msn when I was passed out. I came to my computer with three girls on webcam...... :/
Oh well he just went to work so it's cool.

Other way round in my opinion. I mean they have had great work such as Toy Story etc, but they usually overdo it by making a CGI animation towards anything they can think of.

The 3D animation phase has really brought alot of shit to the screen, though at the same time some decent stuff. I think we should rely on the classic work of Disney, that's what I think of when I say their name.

Beauty and the Beast <3

3D animation is 'too realistic'
My opinions on this are: Why make realistic, not cartoony 3D films, that is basically like the real thing. When nowadays you can get actors infront of a green screen and act. Surely thats a more efficient way.

That is why i prefer 2D. Not that i dislike 3D, i just dont see the point in it. Although i probably will learn 3D somewhen. I tried it once and my model looked retarded, i didn even get to the animation bit. :(

Anyone heard of Sonx lately? Remember the plan - if he comes back everyone just completely ignore him :)

3D animation

Well, as far as films go, I think that if some guys have a really great idea then they should go ahead with it in whatever way they think is most appropriate, 3D, 2D, live action or whatever.

The problem with 3D animation, really, is that it's the latest make-lots-of-money-for-a-generic-idea scheme. It's a problem you can see in the film industry as a whole, as well as the whole sponsorships thing with Flash today. If something's coming from some uninspired producer thinking: "OMG PEOPLE WILL PAY TO SEE A LOAD OF 3D BEARS TRYING TO SAVE A FOREST FROM SOME HAIRY GUYS IN TARTAN" or whatever, rather than an idea that someone genuinely believes in and wants to see brought to life, then the results are going to be mediocre, or even just plain bad, nine times out of ten.

From what I've heard he is preparing his 9,000th post and he is not going to post until he has something truly epic to say, and considering how long ago it was since he last posted it ought to be epic.

Just imagine his disappointment if nobody cared about it ;)

Nothing wrong with 3D (I make some models that way myself), theres some great little bits like "Kiwi" or "Squirrel Must Die!" The thing I think that bugs people isn't really the 3D, but how it misaproprates old intellectual property and markets it like hell. So the real problem is with somebody doing rehashes an ol' Tex Avery or Fractured Fairy Tales, and calling it "new". Then they are then spun into mass produced toxic toys made in China and sold through wall mart so some big studio can reap the market for maximum damage like it was some giant enemy crab or something.

3D does have one thing up on 2D though, you can find some actual *good* free software (which I'd willingly vouch for) for making and/or animating it. So at least you can homebrew it on a shoestring budget if for some reason you can't stand the mainstream. (Just be aware that rendering takes "forever" on typical hardware in relation to the other parts of 3D production.) Any noticable free apps comparable to Flash for 2D animated content production? Not that I'm aware of.

LMAO!!! I'm just laughing thinking about it... he may be working on an epic Flash to post... erm... or maybe not for an epic post. But I think we should all leave his topic for a day or two then we will post so we disappoint him then we can bring him up. Even though he's not the best at grammar, he's a top guy.

Haha, that's awesome!
That would have been a cool experience...I think :/
What was it you were workin on man?

sleep deprivation
I think the longest period without sleep I've ever been through is about 55 hours... I had an afternoon flight from Amsterdam to Hong Kong which takes about 12 hours, walked around in Hong Kong for a good 15 hours, after that, took a plane to Sidney which takes another 8 hours or so. Arrived in Sydney in the morning (I think) and spend the entire day sightseeing. Might not be very long, but jet-lags sure can be a bitch.

iPod
My 80 gigs iPod arrived last week, I think it's brilliant. Every time I see it I just can't help but wanting to lick it.

Toodles

Right. I'm off to live in central London (university accommodation). Unfortunately there's no internet there (and my iBook's still getting fixed anyway) so I'm not going to be on the forums for a while. I hope to return sooner or later, but if I don't: 'sbeen a pleasure to be part of this community. I will be popping in when I can so don't think you've seen the last of me!
