Demo dreams

Yikes I like critiquing good work. But I don’t like critiquing awful work. But what I like the least is critiquing good work that is poorly presented. Me and my pals got to do a little of everything last Thursday morning. Yarg!!! There is something that’s really jarring about seeing something that’s well modeled and made with obvious care and attention stuck into a nasty clumsy little animation sequence. It seems to me, that if a solid modeler is not a good animator then he shouldn’t shoot for some fantastic over the top sequence. He should do some sweet hold poses with subtler animation and let the beautiful work he has already done creating his model, carry the scene. Or failing, that some nice pans or gentle truck-ins would be better than ruining a perfectly good model with lousy all over the place animation. Why oh why! I’m sorry I’m just overwhelmed remembering the slaughter afresh. Good pans. Good hold poses, people! It isn’t rocket science.
