All respect to Ms. Weaver but watching Rakka feels like an episode-length Previously on...

The conversation between Ripley and the Mad Bomber is awful, sound like it was written by an amateur.

The fire base thing has great effects but also feels adolescent in terms of plot/back story.

A girl falls for a tuba player. It has that style to it that you get in Wes Anderson films. Very enjoyable.

Haven't seen that in years, still holds up because of his voice. Anyway here's one for the holidays lads.

I've been on an Alan Clarke binge, so I figure that you two might as well be made to suffer as well.

This is fantastic.

That is really good actually. Relate to that cycle very much indeed.

It's kind of entertaining. Also I think that's a female David Mitchell.

>>22027

Well that was fucking inane. Thanks regardless.

Here's something with a message.

Thanks, it's like Aesop's Fables meets The Mighty Boosh Show. I feel somewhat enlightened.

Although I can't help but feel like a poo monster would be in favour of poo being left everywhere.

This was really something. Made by Matthew Holness as well.

Well, it's nice to imagine the environmental disasters of the future I guess.

Goddamn why was New Vegas such a good setting?

Anyway there's a good ongoing series following the battle of HELIOS One - I'll just show you when the drugs start showing up:

This is good, comparable to the Astartes series.

New Vegas is a pretty good setting. However, is this why people like it? Because of what a good shooty-bang-bang time it is? Showing me the battle of Helios One doesn't really do anything for me, because it's people shooting each other. I knew that already. It's all the, ahem, fallout as a result of the battle that's interesting.

I don't know. I'm very down on the Fallout setting these days and I don't think the people making an animation where a load of people shoot each really understand why it was interesting in the first place.

Neither do Bethesda.
Wasteland 3 was very good for a game that actually "gets it".

>>25198
Yeah, I know Bethesda don't get it. What did you think I was talking about? And I just watched the trailer for Wasteland 3 and I've got to say, I'm not impressed. It looked and sounded a lot more The Walking Dead TV series meets Marvel's The Avengers than Fallout 1997.

I think the big lesson here is do something original rather than recycling that which came before. But we all knew that already.

How so? It looks like every other RPG with overprocessed lighting and colours. Only £6 at the moment though, so maybe I'll take a look.

I think about this every year or so.

This is fantastic.

Co Hoedeman, who died recently, created "The Sand Castle", which won the 1977 Oscar for Best Animated Short ballet. If you don't mind things being described as "comfy", then that's exactly what this is. It's like a cross between Morph, the Clangers, and that one really good scene from Spiderman 3.

It was quite cute. I was a little uncomfortable when the creatures started grunting and making throaty noises.
It makes me wonder what're the criteria for nomination in a category like 'Best Animated Short ballet' - without intending to sound like a cunt, I can't imagine there're many. A brief look over Co Hoedeman's wiki page reveals he's known for his technical innovation in ballets - stopmotion and sand probably aren't easy mediums to mix. The short section at 09:35 was particularly interesting.

It reminds me of The Mysterious Stranger which I assume we've all seen by now.

I'm now thinking about those CGI competitions that supply a basic framework for technical artists to work over, and how most of the submissions are pretty much the same with only variations in theme (it's usually a character walking from left to right). They've always made me wonder why the artists don't try to do something different with the medium rather than tally along like everyone else. Like twisting the animation into itself or something. It must become horendously boring for the judges to watch the same motion over and over again. Why not break them out of that loop? It'll stick in their mind regardless of quality, simply for the novelty.
Maybe I've a fundamental misunderstanding of how these things work.

The last one was quite good in this regard for it's meta quality (08:37).

That claymation clip always makes me think of this ballet I saw on TV when I was about five or six. It was an animation about a village in India where a tiger was killing lots of people, but nobody could catch it, and it kept appearing when nobody expected it to, and it turned out to be one of the villagers who could transform into a tiger, and they killed him in the end. It was absolutely fucking terrifying and has probably severely fucked me up. When I saw it it was in Gaelic, but I think that was a dubbing, and that's all the information I have about this ballet which I haven't been able to find since. Anybody else think they know what I'm on about?
