Reviews for "An Animation Revolution"
Don't hate, appreciate!
Those people who gave this video a bad rating are rating it bad for the wrong reason. You rate for the animation, not to wine about how they can't afford flash. It was a good animation;D And the guy below him is upset because it was short and made the top movie of the week. BE JEALOUS! Harry is amazing with his work.
I wish I could make my hands turn into homoerotic lobsters.
lol
did anyone see the dick on the first screen
Great stuff as always, and there are some who would've benefitted greatly from reading your description (the YouTube vid "Harry Partridge gets served" comes to mind). It'd be great if you also made mention of the alternatives, perhaps in the closing credits. Yeah, everyone loves Flash (I don't really) and ToonBoom, but Pencil is an often overlooked freeware program that is really simple and easy to use (without a user interface designed for children). Synfig is surprisingly powerful as well (also free!); designed for the popular "cut-out" style, whereas Pencil's focus is the traditional (tradigital?). My point is that many fledgling animators make the mistake of seeing a video they like that's really popular and think that having every single piece of equipment the artist owns will grant them the ability to do the same. They mistake tools for talent, and are often discouraged when presented with any program with a mild learning curve. I'm still waiting for the day when people get out of this mindset of "I must own Flash and a Cintiq to be a decent animator," and like you said, consider the alternatives.
This animation speaks to me. I once had to us go animate for a school project once because it was required for it. Never had I felt so dirty.
