It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that God has no beef with our Afro traditional wedding.

If you fail to get someone to provide the models, go to Turbosquid.com or 3Dstudio.com

You can also check out the download section of my website for free models. I have a lot more to add but I should do that during the weekend.

After the traditional marriage ceremony, which is basically a solemn exchange of vows and public declaration of their union, they are free to 'chop', there's is no such thing as 'sin' in that case.

LOL, I loved 'em like that!

[quote author=D-reloaded link=topic=103421.msg1842026#msg1842026 date=1200061284]I think olydimwitted should be banned. After all he's still writing tribalistic rubbish despite the fact that the thread was cleaned up
.

First off nuzo, I want to thank you for bringing the thread back to the topic despite the psychotic rants of ajisafe, olydmiwitted and the other imbeciles

Now I understand that English Nollywood makes more money for the industry. That's fine. No ONE is saying that they should stop. Infact I don't think you can quote anyone saying such a thing on this thread. My question is why can't they do both? Both WILL sell. Maybe one more than the other but they will both sell either way and that way everyone who likes both kind of movies can have easy access. People shouldn't have to go to the East to watch such movies. It wasnt like that before else I wouldnt have the ones that I have at home.

So the audience can't be blamed, it's the industry that should get the criticism for completely cutting off one for the other. They can make both accessible to everyone. Let us have the option to pick and choose.

Also I don't believe anyone said that such movies is the only way to show Igbo culture. Language however is a big part of one's culture though esp in Africa so why eradicate it just to gain favor from people outside? I think the excuse of "well English is an universal language" is pitiful since that hasnt stopped Bollywood from making it big in the world of film nor has it stopped them from gaining international awards.[/quote]There are some movies made in Igbo Language but the marketers are not really keen on pushing them, so they end up in Pound road and Iweka road. I believe it was an experiment that got out of hand and it will be impossible to reverse it. Perhaps if they were persistent with the the production of Igbo language films just like Living in Bondage, Rattle Snake, Missing Mask and co, we wouldn't have that problem now (I think it is a problem). On the other hand, if one is to watch a crappy movie and read subtitles, that's double catastrophe right in your face, because let's face it, most of these fellas are not here to give us quality, sure they can if they are bent on it but who the heck makes a good feature film in two weeks? Seriously, that's gotta be a big joke. They apply the principles of buying and selling with QUICK turnaround, therefore there is no time to cut out that man wearing Sean John shorts in a movie that is supposedly set in 1818, the shrill blood curding audio that kills whatever excitement left in the movie or the microphone sticking into the scene. I can only sit down and read subtitles if the movie is really good, otherwise I will either look for the English dub or ditch the damn thing. I am sure a whole lot of people think this way.

One thing I can say is these marketers are smarter than we envisaged (not that the smartness does us much good). Seeing that they wouldn't bother spending months shooting movie and some other months polishing things in post production, they figured they could get away with making 'pop corn' movies in English language, after all it is one less punishment, far better than getting their Igbo language films vehemently snubbed due to lack of substance and the additional hassle of reading subtitles.

Abracadabraaaaa! Welcome to Nigeria---where lizards get pregnant and elephants lay eggs.

iice, so it's pink now? Stop flip floppin and stick with green kind of looks better than pink


All the irritating unoriginal Nkuwood and Wazoowood is not going to cut it --- how about we try Makefreakinggoodmovieswood?

Olydim, let me guess, you toasted a Yoruba girl/guy and sh/he refused to roll with you- - - my brother/sister, na by force? There are so many fishes in the river, go toast another girl/guy and spare us the gibberish--- I hope you are not using terms like " I rov you pass my moda" You can't even get Ireti/Kola to fart in your direction with such a lame line---

2D animation is not dead and 3D is not here to replace 2D, there's enough room for both. I wouldn't write off 3D either because it has its uses and could be pleasant and breath taking when utilized APPROPRIATELY and by this I mean visual effects in live action movies where digital stunt doubles are employed in shots that are short and impressive enough to save it from scrutiny. 3D fills in the gap left by some of the obvious limitations of 2D. They both can be used together in 'peace and harmony'. For instance, the ''SEAMLESS" integration of 3D and 2D can be jaw dropping . Ghost In The Shell and Sky Blue (Korean feature) come to mind, as well as others too numerous to mention.

There's something about the simplicity and fluidity of 2D animation that can NEVER be REPLICATED or REPLACED by any medium. With that said, I'd like to point out that 3D becomes rather offensive and ridiculous when somebody tries to make a photo realistic 3D movie- - - I find it a very ridiculous and pointless adventure. If you are going to do it, tone down on the realism like they did in Advent Children, Kaena, Tak and the Power of Juju- - - etc. It is more appealing that way and does not leave you wondering if you should be watching these wax figures or punching yourself with a bag of nickels. Sure I enjoyed photo realistic stuff like Beowulf and Spirits within, it was merely for the stunning visuals. My opinion about such ventures remain the same, it is not a very bright idea. I have a peoblem with the concept only, but I do enjoy the visuals to the fullest, pure eye candy, no more no less. Use 3D for the right purposes and all will be well (Vfx, video games and heavily stylized projects---etc).

Thank God for Television, The French,Japanese, Koreans and Chinese, for without their commitment to quality 2D animation, we'd all be choking with American ''Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' animation and by this I mean ridiculous infantile-fuzzy-wuzzy-talking furry animal fiasco bullshti, where creativity and originality could be more difficult than the conversion of Osama Bin Laden to Christianity.

On a side note @ Combdrazor, I don't think some Africans are joining the 3D band wagon because of cost (lol you should see their Max vs Maya vs Lightwave my-software-is-the-real-deal-and yours-is-shit beef ) rather, it is because the fundamental requirement of 2D animation is that YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO DRAW. In order words, it is easier to hack it out with 3D where you don't necessarily have to be a superstar illustrator (Never mind the best 3D artist have strong traditional art background). 2D is more labour intensive but 3D is a lot more costly in terms of software and hardware.

But the thread is about DN

There's always Kiddie Grade and Samurai 7. Watched the first Episode of Afro Samurai but it didn't do it for me. Maybe I should just suck it up and see about three more episodes before I jump to any conclusion, but honestly speaking, the first episode just didn't do it for me. After it was over my only expression was "WTF?".

The topic says 2d Traditional/cel Animation Corner, can we please try to keep this on track?

Oh God, no!

Oziomatv, no man is an island, no man is indispensable. The Hausa man needs the Igbo man, whether he likes it or not, the Igbo man needs the Hausa man, whether he likes it or not. The Yoruba man needs the Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Ijaw- - -etc whether he likes it or not, The Igbo,Hausa, Efik, Ijaw- - -etc need the Yoruba man, whether they like it or not. They don't have to agree with this concept but it is a fact of life and the moment we let it sink in, it will be of immense benefit to all of us.

Chief Doctor Corruption?

Oziomatv, Nwanne don't fall into that trap . The person calling SE states backward and retarded is speaking for himself and not his ethnic group. You can pick a bone with him without dragging his people inside, since they were not there when he made the derogatory comments.

Game over, Fellas!
