Animation Source Forums

I completely agree My, Drewthewolf, and GreyKitty's etc. animation is just a couple minutes and we simply have not had the time NOR the technology to work on it (given it'd be done already if I had Flash at home). But just the same, WE are not professionals. We're amateurs and even we are finding this really difficult to finish, because it IS difficult to finish.

Real movies? They have hundreds of people working on one movie and it still takes two years to complete.

Even tho its basically just spam on the site, why doesn't everyone just join up together and make one giant two-minute piece of crap? At least there won't be a million Balto 4s on the internet xD There's already too many wolf comics/"series" so may as well.

I dunno. Kaze: Ghost Warrior was made by one person working alone, a brilliant animator and artist named Tim Albee.

LOL! I have tried this. I had a minute long animation with voices, the only reason that I had the voice and sounds with it was for the reason that I was Windows Movie Maker, the best dang thing ever to make animations and sound togeather! XD But after that, you can't truly make a movie useing that... Besides, an hour or two of animation?! Even with Chii24(youtube animator) helping you, it'll take a year or more! Sure, it's a 'great' idea, but seriously.. You just don't have the money, much less TIME to make this work.

To me, honestly a Balto four would be cool to see if Steel actually came back to destroy AND ruin Balto's reputation but would if be illegal if you make your own Balto four without asking permission from Universal studious?

CatLuvs--you gotta good point there

Here's how the majority of the project workers probably think.

"Yeah, this is awesome! We'll be famous on Bawlbo Sawce once and for all! We'll make a full length animated flick! That'll show all those elitists! .... wait, we have to do something?"

None of them really realize what goes into making a full-length animated movie. Before you attempt to try and make a full-length Balto 4, time the credits for any given Balto movie. For full effect, count the amount of people who worked on it as well.

Thanks to Sora-kun, you don't have to! The credits for Balto last a little over five minutes. FIVE MINUTES. That's the amount of time it took to list who worked on the movie, and that's not even everyone. (For some reason, my aunt wasn't listed in the credits.)

Period. I think we'll need to let less "unrealistic" projects get through, because well, they're a waste of time.
Making a 2-pages comics is realistic, making a full animated movie is not. That's common sense, though there are kids that just don't understand that.

And if you ask me, they're also lazy. It's rare to see articles sent with real efforts put into them, for example. And age isn't an excuse when it comes to taking time to do things right.

I really do admire their effort when it's shown, but they are out of their league here.

It would be better for them to start out small and then work their way up slowly, and build skills.

But to me it seems like I always see the same projects and that they never seem to be progressing at all, which is kinda sad and a disappointment.

Good point there. Well what if the projects that really don't go anywhere just not get as much attention, and the ones that do, get placed at the top of the project list.
