Fact; Ripping sprites from a videogame is harder than animating with sprites.
Fact; Finding sprites ripped from videogames is easy as shit.
Fact; Bitmap tracing and animating sprites is easy as shit.
Fact; Making custom sprites based off an existing character model is easy as shit.
Fact; The only people that would use pre-existant graphics to animate are either people who can't draw, or people who are seriously lazy (ie Alvin Earthworm).

I've worked some with low-definition pixelized graphics myself, and I can guarantee that it's much harder to do stuff from scratch in comparison to just making slight edits to sprites stolen from classic videogame no. 3246. However, that still doesn't make it hard work; It just takes a bit longer than drawing it with vector based tools, and is actually EASIER because you have more control and because errors are easier to both detect and fix.

There's nothing good about sprite animations or ripped sprites in general. While I do respect the people that take the time to make sprites from scratch, it's still much easier than conventional drawing and animation ever will be. This whole idea is bullshit; Sprite "artists"/"animators" deserve all the hate they get, and more. What they DON'T deserve, is to be recognized as "talented", or even rewarded for what they do. Of course, me typing all this up won't matter jack shit since none of you are willing to accept the fact that you are thieves and that your precious Super Mario Bros Z is an unoriginal pile of manure. Heck, even that god-awful TTA thing can be considered to be better than SMBZ, and that's saying something.

Sigh... whenever there's a void, someone always fills it. Let me explain it now, so we don't argue later:

*Everyone has an opinion.
*Our opinion is that spite movies are (or have the potential to be) every bit as good as, or better than, any flash out there.
*Other peopole hate sprite movies. We respect that.
*Some of those peopole write unessesarily bad reviews or make hate flashes about them. We accept that.
*Some of those some peopole submit said reviews and hate flashes to the portal, thus spamming the portal (in the opinion of us sprite lovers). We don't respect or accept that.
*If peopole want to make hate flashes or rude comments, they can put them on their own website. Instead, they spam the portal. SPA's goal is to put a stop to that.

kapish?

Too bad you didn't actually do anything to fill the void in question; Unless you can explain, in great detail, why sprite movies aren't shit, there will always be anti-sprite movies ridiculing authors such as Alvin Earthworm and Kirbopher15.

Right now I seriously doubt you can come up with anything to counter what we are saying and doing, other than claiming that we are "spamming the portal". I had a talk with a moderator here, who is, for whatever obscure reason, defending Alvin Earthworm, and in the end the only things I got out of him were "his timing is good" and "atleast he does shit". Neither of these are particularily convincing arguments, and I'm pretty sure any random idiot would agree.

Let me ask you something: Why is everyone hitting on SMBZ in particular?

Anyway, I'm not saying that sprite movies are the best. I'm saying they're not the worst, even though they're treated that way. Want proof? Watch Rugrats Gay Scat Hentai X. Need I say more?

Hand drawn characters are no more than sprites with smaller pixels. In my opinion at least (if it means anything to you).

I found this in crazyboy's debate thread:

most sprite shit is gay but not shit in the top 50... i mean hell don't stereo type it

That's the word I'm looking for! SPA's goal is not to say "ooog... sprite movies are da best..." but to stop sprite movies from being stereotyped just because they're sprite movies. I could possibly agree that... 45-50% of sprite movies suck. but good sprite films are abundant if you know where to look. And one of my personal goals is to make more sprite movies that don't suck. Crazyoy said this before, if you dont like this, make your OWN thread and leave us sprite-lovers alone!

Because it's winning awards AND money that doesn't belong to something that's pretty much just a bunch of stolen graphics and ideas.

Yeah, you do. That "movie" was probably just some old and shitty thing Shrums fileswapped because he didn't like it, and it's only purpose is to offend and piss people off rather than win awards.

Also, a question; If sprite movies aren't the best, why care? Why not defend something that's worth defending?

Hand drawn characters are no more than sprites with smaller pixels. In my opinion at least (if it means anything to you).

You are an idiot, and your opinion is void; The big thing here is the amount of work and skill that is required when working with classic animation in comparison to just ripping and editing graphics from videogames, and how people who actually work to make new and exciting works of art get no exposure or awards due to overrated garbage that's pretty much just some Mario sprites running around with a few lame fart jokes thrown in for good measure, THIS being a good example of what I'm talking about; It's both creative and technically impressive, yet has a ridiculously low score for what it is. I've worked with all of these mediums, and I know from experience what is easy and what isn't.

The ones in the top 50 are just as bad as the rest. Why? It's not just because of the stolen graphics, not just because it's a sprite movie; It's because it's just a bunch of characters taken from elsewhere and with stories and jokes that are equally unoriginal and shitty.

But there is nothing worse than a thief. I'd take "DREW PICKLES GAYSCAT" over a sprite movie any day, on the one condition that it didn't consist entirely of stolen jokes, visuals and audio.

Seeing SMBZ on the top50 depressed me. But that movie you just exposed everyone to has to be won of the most wonderful freindsociety creations I have seen to date.

Sigh... do I ever get left alone?

Please, explain to me just HOW Alvin got the $500.00? He probably didn't do it on purpose.

I personally think sprites add to the feel of a video game parody. Do you just want no parodies at all?

Funny. I also play a hunter on World of Warcraft, so almost everything I do has large, active groups against it. At this point, It's me, Crasyboy, and Alvin against the world!

Manwithcity, come on in. Though you'll probaly forget all about this in a few days. Oh well.

Sprite Movies, SPAM Movies, Crappy Movies. All three of these in one category yes? Except when a Sprite movie gets an award the SPAM movie makers and usually the crappy movie makers come out of no where to start running there mouthes and bitching that "everything is stolen" "everything is stolen." Well even though everything is stolen they took the time and effort to make a storyline and put it into a very good flash. Here my final words for this little club!

We know the Sprites are ripped from other sites, shut up about that!
Alvin Earthworm got $500 for making SMBZ, if you want to bitch and complain about that you take it up with Newgrounds, they're the ones who give out money for flashes
Yes the music and backgrounds and most of the sound effects are stolen, but at least they can put it into a funny interesting flash, unlike the Spammers and and crappy movie makers who hate it when something is better than theres and since they can't run there mouthes at the talented artists they go after the sprite movie makers.
Why? Because they have nobody else to go after.
Sprite movies will be forever loved and adored on Newgrounds and there is no way nobody is going to get rid of them.
Also if you're waiting for Nintendo or Sega to sue them, note that the Sprite Movies are parodies and that if you haven't noticed have given the characters of Nintendo and Sega tons of attention.

Thank You for reading, please post your own stupid gay comment calling me GAYSCATASSHOLE.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
:D

Uhh, not to alarm you guys, but i looked over this thread a while ago, and very recently i've seen TheSPA giving you guys a very bad name...
"This was all the work of the SPA we have hacked newgrounds with our 1337 naruto skillz and are deleting all the anti sprite movies and the all the creative movies hand drawn movies.
Its time for a new newgrounds I call it Spritegrounds"
..Such a shame they don't still have that change name option, huh?

Just thought i'd bring it to your attention.

Note; I prefer hand drawn/mouse animated movie to sprites most of the time, but i have to admit, a lot of sprite movies kick some serious arse. ;)

Okay Snipe! Come on in!

Btw, Alvin Earthworm had this to reply to a bad review on one of his sprite movies

"I do have my own original hand drawn series in the works, but it's deep in the planning stages at the moment, so I just work on SMBZ as a hobby of mine because I'm a fan of Sprite flashes, Video games and Anime. I know there is little of my own work incorporated, but it's still helped me get better at using flash, although it may not be evident to some.
What people fail to comprehend is the fact that I didn't make this for the popularity, I just wanted to make a sprite parody for shits and giggles, expecting to get average scores like the majority of aprite flashes here on NG. I didn't submit each episode thinking I was shoe in for Daily Feature and a huge fanbase to boot. It just proves that there are many individuals who enjoy this kind of thing.
The only thing I hate is how the haters put the blame on me for the series being so popular. Newsflash! It's the viewers that made the series popular. The thousands of people who enjoy and vote 5 on my stuff is what made the series such a hit. I didn't go up to Tom Fulp and ask him to make an internet based mind control ray so people would automatically vote 5. So in future, blame the fans for the high ratings.
Either way, the occasional negative feedback won't stop me from working on something I enjoy. So I suggest people learn to accept that."

"So I suggest peopole learn to accept that."... pretty much the reason for the SPA's existence. We don't want you to like sprite movies. We like them, but we can see why you think it sucks. We just want you to accept that some are actually good, and stop being jerks about it. And contrary to what that hack imposter TheSPA says, we are not decompiling anything. Kapish?

Ok yes sprite are easier then normal animations I'm not denying that so from an artistic stand point ,yes sprites require less skill. However how pretty something looks does not constitute for how well made an animation is because there is still a lot of skill when it comes to things like humor or how well made the plot was.
