@wallhackio @aescling @coriander i think all of the movies on my list show the level of technical prowess needed to pull off this fairly mundane sequence from whisper of the heart. they don¦t spend four minutes on it necessarily but they can set a scene. i am unconvinced that any 3D animated feature has demonstrated the competency to do it. maybe WALL•E?

@wallhackio @aescling @coriander they are trying to show off with visual spectacle here but it is all camerawork. they created one (1) 3D model and didn’t even bother to animate it, and then did some camerawork in it to “show it off”. please compare to this sequence, which actually put time and energy into its setting and knows how to create a real sense of space instead of just being like “yeah we hired some guys who know how to use Blender”

@wallhackio @aescling @coriander how do you do this shot and have absolutely nothing in motion. no helicopters, no planes, a big fuckoff bridge with no cars. zero birds, not a cloud in the sky. no cool sun effect, just generic haze with render fog. prerendered video game background level of bullshit. could have just been a painting AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF IT WERE

@wallhackio @aescling @coriander i think if the only way you can make a skyline visually interesting is by making it look like you left your 3D glasses at home you need to rethink your approach to your artform

@wallhackio @aescling @coriander the opening cutscene of breath of the wild does not count because it is a video game

@wallhackio @aescling @coriander i have never seen a 3D animated film do a long, lingering shot on the scenery and have it land and until it does i do not respect the medium

@wallhackio @aescling @coriander no but i mean literally

@wallhackio @aescling @coriander does it have a long, lingering shot on the scenery

@00dani it was directed by the guy who did Pokémon: Twilight Wings??

@aescling @wallhackio @coriander my understanding was that nobody has seen across the spiderverse since the second half of it isn’t even thru production yet

@aescling @wallhackio @coriander that is because spiderverse was mid

@00dani it does not

i have heard good things but i find it hard to believe it is anywhere on the level of takahata

@wallhackio movies are too short

@wallhackio Star Wars is in reference to the single movie titled Star Wars not the entire series

@wallhackio but know that i spent an uncomfortably long time considering Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

@wallhackio

• The Tale of Princess Kaguya
• Red Cliff
• The Lord of the Rings
• The Sting
• Star Wars
• Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

@aescling @wallhackio @coriander rare æsc has better taste than clod moment

@wallhackio does Red Cliff count as 1 movie or 2

@wallhackio @coriander you forgot pom poko
