What's with you guys? Why must you constantly put down us Sprite Flash artists just because sprites? There are a lot of great flash artists on NG that use sprites.

Alvin-Earthworm
Flamezero
Rebaz
DuDuL
CrazY-AndroMon

These are just a few. I know there are a lot of sprite flashes that suck ass, but don't automatically assume that a movie sucks just because it uses something that we didn't draw ourselves.

Yeah, custom sprites and edited sprites could also be used to increase to originality of a sprite movie....

I really shouldn't have added that last line in my previous statement.

Proof read everything you type before posting and make sure it doesn't sound noobish.

Of all the thousands of crappy sprite flashes out there....there are maybe.....MAYBE.....5 that have any custom sprite work.

And guess what?

Customizing sprites isnt difficult. Making 7 extra colored dots on a mass of colored dots =/= SUCCESSFUL VENTURE

Response to To all of the sprite haters... Mar 4, 2007


Sprite movies are nothing but premade graphics tweened around--basically, an excuse for an animator to make a movie without making any graphics (unless, of course, s/he is creating custom sprites).
That being said, some people, like the ones you mentioned, are better at tweening than others.
While I do enjoy sprite movies that are tweened well, any sprite movie would be better if it had quality hand-drawn graphics.
Would I rather watch a sprite movie or the same thing with sloppy, poorly made graphics? I would rather watch the sprite movie.
Would I rather watch a sprite movie or the same thing with fantastic, "homemade" graphics? I would rather watch the one with homemade graphics.

I'm guessing you didn't watch it or you watched it for a short time and closed it.

The battle scenes are innovative, creative, and very well made. The story is pretty decent, but it could use some more originality.

Also, I can't believe I forgot Daniel Sun on my least of great sprite flash artists :P

While I'm sure that there are many great flash artists who can animate well, but choose to use sprites in order to save time, there are just too many horrible flash artists who hide behind pre-made sprites. So not all sprite-use is bad (though it is certainly not as good as animating your own characters), but sprite-flashes are given bad reputations by bad/lazy artists who do half-assed movies.

I've watched the whole series.


The battle scenes are innovative, creative, and very well made.

Its a few more elements added to the usual "two pictures smack into each other" thats been used repeatedly ever since the first "Mario Killz Sonic lolz" flash first crawled out onto land. Shrapnel does not a good fight scene make.

The story is pretty decent, but it could use some more originality.

Its fucking DRAGONBALLZ
A show thats reused its same storyline about 12 times before it finally died, long after the original creator had abandoned it. Except now its done with Mario+Luigi advance sprites.

Finally an educated response that wasn't just "sprite movies suxors"......pretty much the only one too.....

I agree that animating your own drawn characters can help with the vision of your movie, but sometimes those who are not talented artists can be extremely talented directors. So using pre-made sprites to complete our vision is a decent way to go, as long as it is well made and not half-assed.

Alvin-Earthworm, Daniel Sun, etc...
They always make awesome sprite flash movies because they have an idea that they are determined to set in motion.

So, basically, there are many shitty sprite flash artists, but you have to remember, there are some very talented ones as well.

There's no "talent" involved with making sprite movies.

You just tween shit around that you didn't even draw.
