TV/Movies › Re: What Would You Like To See In A Nigerian Animated Movie ? by grafikdon: 12:43pm On Mar 15, 2008
Seun:
Story comes first.
You still don't get it Seun. You can't cling on story while neglecting the other components of animation. You really think a 'good' story will rescue atrocious animation? Actually it is the other way round. Story can never be, and has never been the animator's biggest challenge. It is the convincing translation of the story that could make or break his efforts. Don't get me wrong here because anyone who thinks story is insignificant needs several trips to the doctor/dibia/babalawo/priest/pastor/bishop/Imam/Monk/Pope. Worse could be said for anyone who believes story is the most important in an animated movie. There must be a balance between all the essential components like animation (duh) voice acting, story and music. Channeling all your energy towards 'story' while disregarding the other vital components is an ailment known as 'storymation' where people watch your product and go 'WTF?' angry - - - So Chief Seun, BALANCE is the key. Good Story, good voice acting, excellent animation, beautiful music/sound track = Cha-ching! JACKPOT!!! grin grin

dayokanu:
Every policy that has been formulated to bridge the gap between North and South Has failed monumentally.

To enter university we have normal cut off and special cut off for educationally less developed states(ELDS) meaning Uche and Ade might score 260 in UME and wont be admitted but Audu that score 214 would be admitted but has that in any way bridged the gap?
NO.

Okay , okay---- I agree with your Narushit comparison but Deathnote? Avatar is pretty much another 'infantile' animated series, sure it is impressive and interesting but nevertheless 'INFANTILE' grin smiley cool


Hey did anyone see Deathnote the Movie(Live action)? That was totally---I don't know. . . it just didn't pull me in. Matter of fact I became frustrated after about 3 minutes. Perhaps I should spend some time and watch the whole movie. . . but lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

whatever makes the man stupid?
Find your answer below---



The Holy Gospel according to Usman Dan Bello, CEO . . .



“It is indeed in the interest of the South-Westerners and South-Easterners for some affirmative actions to be taken to redress the situation, else there will be no real peace in this country moving forward.”


Bello blamed the reform agenda of former President Olusegun Obasanjo for creating “very dangerous economic structure,” which had worsened the situation of the North.

He said, “By design or accident, Northerners and South-Southerners as peoples and regions have been made third and fourth-class citizens.

“We may well choose to ignore these happenings and pretend that they have not happened but doing so will be at the peril of the Nigerian polity.”

He noted that the economic dominance of the two regions had seen them controlling a combined 94 per cent of the nation’s banking assets, 88 per cent of insurance assets, and more than 90 per cent of industrial assets.

Like I said before, once a baboon, always a baboon. Dressing a baboon in Victoria Secret lingerie and lip stick doesn't make the baboon Naomi Campbell. On the other hand, the 'CEO' (Confused Executive Officer) is a natural born comedian and I think he is in the wrong profession. He should go and claim his spot on Night of a Thousand Laughs.

[quote author=HR.hotness link=topic=38481.msg2015627#msg2015627 date=1204497486]Anyone seen Full Metal Alchemist

@mikkyphp
I'm surprised its not on your list[/quote]Full Metal Alchemist is one of the best anime out there. I discovered that by accident because I wasn't really drawn in by the first episode. Out of curiosity I took a peek at more episodes and by the time I got to episode 4, they got me hooked like like a crackpot - - - took me a couple of days to go through the entire episodes and it was worth the wait.

Another one would recommend is 'Rumbling Hearts'. I must say I never believed there'd come a day when I would actually sit down and watch a lovey-dovey-Mills-and-boom horse shyte- - - grin They got me good with that one and I can't deny it.

Well, it was a silly joke circulating when we were kids, but nothing close to the issue of a morning preacher waking us with the noisy bell, yelling to anyone who cared to listen ''Chegharianu! maka na uwa na acho IKPU''!!! Knowing there's more to 'Ikpu' than 'upside down', we all giggled until our lungs collapsed. We thought the preacher should have chosen his words carefully.

You should be getting paid. What the heck is wrong with some Nigerians? They ought to make the forms available to applicants FREE OF CHARGE. angry angry

i have never heard of anywhere in the world where it is a crime punishable by a 6 month jail term to 'abuse' money.
undecided undecided Only in Nigeria, where elephants fly and chickens get pregnant.

perhaps charles soludo opted for a particularly cheap, brand of naira note ( and all this campaign is an attaempt to forestall the inevitable - the rapid wearing out of the same)

note - i am not advocating for spraying of naira - unless of course it is sprayed on me grin ( is it too late to do the fuji thingy?)

What else do you expect from a county where 'educated' men pass laws that enable police to hunt down (with Howitzer, RPG and Browning) 'indecent' women? This ridiculous law is no shock to me. I am not a fan of spraying money but I don't see how that could bring harm to anyone. I guess we forgot the 'Ghana Must Go' squad who cart the money away in trucks where they sit Western banks- - - now that's the abuse of naira that actually hurt EVERYONE, including non living things like roads, hospital and electricity.

Forget about producing an 'Oscar worthy' film. Just take your time and do a good job. We are talking about film making here, not 'film manufacturing', like 90% of the producers do in Nollywood.

Art, Graphics & Video › Re: Hey 3d Guys: Ur Comparisions Between 3dmax And Maya by grafikdon: 3:57pm On Feb 15, 2008
undecided undecided Maya is not the "BEST''. There is no such thing as the 'BEST' 3D software. If you're an advanced user of XSI,Lightwave,Maya and Max, you'd be the last person to echo that erroneous 'BEST' sentiment. Using multiple apps exposes you to the strengths and weaknesses of each one and you will have to live with the indisputable fact that some apps can perform certain task better than others. You can still use one app to do everything but that doesn't change that fact.
