Who is this guy?

Otaking is strong with this one.

Isn't this by that autist who always complain how about anime today lacks details and that old anime is soo good in comparison?

>>122990420

Explain why they use Interceptors then?

But we called him faggot and told many times this animation was shit.
He didn't even mention us... what an ungrateful bastard!

>no TIE defenders

DROPPED

it was pretty good but that music was awful
1980s epic guitar solos have no place in star wars which was built off clasical orchestral pieces.

>>122990324
paul johnson IS otaking

>>122990896
He was going for a Heavy Metal feel from the looks of it. Which I think fits very well considering these are badasses piloting TIE Fighters instead of Luke and his rag tag Rebels.

>>122990896
>which was built off orchestral pieces
Irrelevance.

>>122991096
Yeah I get that, I just didn't feel it because Star Wars IS orchestra.
It doesn't feel right
After seeing the logo I was hoping to hear something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF2ahXSwG_I

>>122990896
I think he's going for the 80's throwback feel more than the starwars feel, even though it is in that setting.

>>122989555

What?

I thought Star Wars could never be cool again.

But... perhaps it could?

>>122990602
Care to elaborate instead of just claiming random stuff?

>>122990896
the music made it feel more like Dynasty Warriors than Star Wars.

I thought the storm troopers were all clones though

>>122991957
They aged rapidly so they died by the events of episode 4 and were replaced by conscripts

>>122992039

>>122990740
What do TIE Interceptors have to do with Victory-class Star Destroyers or not?
What's wrong with having a couple of Impstar Deuces and an Interdictor handle a tiny Rebel convoy of one frigate, two corvettes, and three transports?

>>122991957
The empire had mostly phased out clones and switched to conscripts by the time the movies happened, since they didn't want to rely on Kamino after they tried to pull their own rebellion and no one else could make clones worth a damn.

They used the EU to explain that shit though. Might be different now that Disney axed most of it.

>>122989555
Why can't anime of today look this good?

>>122992405
because waifus need to look like synthetic oily dolls to rake in that mad dosh

>>122992039

He's just disguised as a stormtrooper you fucking retard

>>122989555
not /a/ but damn this is good

>>122989555
The style is nice, but I have two issues with it

1. nothing seems to have any inertia. not the people, not the ships, not the camera. it's kinda jarring.
2. it may just be the youtube compression, but even on 720p there's strong aliasing everywhere

What if Paul "Otaking" Johnson spent his time improving his art/animation fundamentals instead of continuing his puerile and masturbatory crusade to revive "80s shading"? Would he actually become a decent artist capable of producing competently made animation?

>>122994511
>>122994731

How can you seriously say this is shit art?

I mean... the movement and inertia are not there so there's something left to improve in the animation. But this is definitely really impressive for an one-man job.

I never understood this edgelord attitude where anyone who works for something and achieves something is shit. Grop up.

Why can't /a/ produce something like this?

>>122994925
Because anime is a dying whore, addicted to the drug that is moe garbage

>>122994876
>edgelord
That is not /a/ terminology.

>>122994925
have you ever tried to coordinate a herd of cats?
cats with attention deficit disorder?
that's about how difficult it is to get anons to commit to anything.

>>122994876
because otaking and his ridiculous assertions about art ought to be taken down a peg whenever possible. I don't hate the guy, and I don't hate the animation, but if you see vitriol about him, it's partly because of the work itself, and partly because of the sort of person he is. If you don't know otaking, then that's maybe why you don't get it.

>>122994925

Why can't you?

>>122994925
/a/ know shits about the animation process and doesn't have the attention span of a clear mongoose.

>>122995068
what about otaking that makes one slam good stuff, just to get at the guy himself?

>>122994876
>How can you seriously say this is shit art?
Because it is. Otaking's draftsmanship is complete balls. Always has been, unfortunately always will be. His hideous idea of "shading" doesn't help at all.
>But this is definitely really impressive for an one-man job.
It's impressive that he put the effort in. The result of the effort is not very impressive though.

>>122994876
>How can you seriously say this is shit art?
Because it's bad. It's as simple as that. You want me to write an essay? It's not good technically nor stylistically. I'm not saying it's the worse, but come on.

Fug off otakunt

Is this short film a solid proof that /m/ >>> /a/ once and for all?

Something feels really off about the lighting at parts and the movements seem really awkward.

>>122989555
Liked:
The colors, the shading, noses, the mecha.
Not so good: faces/bodies animation, transition too fast.

But after seeing this is a one man project, damn, that's awesome.

Hey, remember how the Devil's Legacy guys wanted 150k dollars for an 8 minutes short worse than this?
Well, looks like this guy did better, for free and alone.

>>122990420
Anime today DOES lack detail and has shitty coloring, go back to your SnK containment thread babby

>>122990896
I didn't think it was that bad.
I would have liked more some 80's electronic music or eve nsome 90's Daft Punkish music to go with it, but that's really up to personal taste.

>>122995478
OtaKing's colouring is far more offensive to the eyes than most modern anime.

>>122990896
If he put Star Wars music in it, Youtube's ContentAware would have instantly killed it.

>>122995068
>>122995259
>>122995347
Wow, this is jealousy at its most sour. Pathetic.

I had never heard of Otaking before today; I don't know what he's said, nor do I care, but this short is fucking amazing, even morose considering he did it alone without pay.

Of course there are going to be minor nuances that nitpicking retards like yourself who are holding an agenda, but it still looks better than most anime today, certainly in terms of animation, and it takes a fucktonne of passion, ambition and love to make something like this; something you faggots haven't, and never will understand.

>>122995704
Instead of being butthurt, Paul, work on your art. It'll do you better.

>>122995530
Just like how greasy haired dwellers like yourself are far more offensive to the eyes than people who aren't?

There are plenty of anime that adopt similar colour schemes; it's called a stylistic choice, and regardless of whether you like it or not, it doesn't affect the overall quality much.

The effort he invested in lighting reflections alone sets this fucking miles ahead of most modern anime, but of course, you'll conveniently ignore things like this with that agenda of yours.

Because leaving aside a few exceptions most of the girls in the left look fucking horrible.

Just the fact that characters like Noa Izumi and Motoko are on the left, and one-dimensional moeblobs populate the right should give you a fair enough indication.

>>122989555
The homage to the original Tie-Fighter sequence with the flight-check and cockpit scene was pretty great. I liked the shading and details but the rotoscoped animation for scenes where you see people walking in the ship was great.

Yeah and the CGI series actually has people getting blown apart, characters being graphically killed and shows the lore and fluff of events between Episode II and Episode III in their entirety.

>>122996744
The separation between clones and stormtroopers has never really been a secret.
But with certain parts of the internet throwing a hissy fit over the EU canon purge, it's good to point out that a large chunk of non-movie material is still more or less treated as canon by the current production teams.

>>122990420
He regrets making those comments.

>>122997072
Even the new Star Wars Commander game which is post-EU liquidlization has EU stuff right back in the canon.

>Tie-Defenders
>Dark Troopers

Its pretty nice. I just still miss Heir to the Empire and Thrawn stuff.

>internet throwing a hissy fit over EU canon purge
Dude to be fair, Star Wars had a net worth of about 30 billion USD when Disney bought it and Lucas Arts. Of that revenue, EU novels alone represent over 2.5 billion, and there has always only be a single televised commercial for Star Wars novels and books.

Lots of people loved EU. They put money into it.

>>122996679
Most anons here probably never watched The Clone Wars CGI series and know about the scene in season 3 or 4 where a Separatist Commander gets his head blown up on screen.

Scene even shows part of his skull and head floating in a small mist of blood as his corpse drops away into the ocean. TCW CGI series has lots of graphic death scenes unlike CW.
