Sadness Combat

It's sad to see pretty decend animators making... simple madness movies.
No, really. Madness combat is cool, i enjoy watching these creatures beating the crap out of each other... but I can't understand people who spend all their flash-time on making these animations.
Madness is working on 33 fps- that's cool, cuz you can learn how to make smooth animation. Madness is FBF- that's great, you can learn how to make watchers believe that the protagonist is alive...
but the main word in both arguments- "LEARN" .
For example, Alpha-nuva or Littleluckylink . Their FBF experience is very advanced, but nevertheless, they continue to make madness movies. Maybe because madness is the only thing why their pages are visited by people... But why doesn't they draw a cartoon using their experience, but without madness? And yoes, Luckylink made the Wesker's addiction and it's great, cuz at last he climbs up a bit.
Also, funny tendention: every "madness animator" is 12-17 years old. This fact makes me think, that...
why don't you stop making madness and start drawing something more original, the movie, that's not based on someone's idea or spritesheets. MAdness combat animations is like a school -you learn how to make a smooth movement, how to animate with higher FPS... but you shuld go further, or you will stuck in this school and your experience will die in these grey walls with grey madness-characters.

Everything I wrote is just my opinion, my advices... so pleace don't write "shut the fuck up, madness rules but you suck balls". Krinkels is genius... he "created a bulb". But if you put that bulb into a torch, you won't become a genius too.

people make madness movies because they are fun to make, its a nice deviation from the more serious flashes people concentrate on. Not everyone has to make masterpiece animations every time they open flash. Madness is a time to loosen up, and have fun, you can get as silly as or serious as you want. not to mention Madness is also a great starting point for people who want to learn how to animate but don't really want to invest time on their own story or characters until they have a much more polished system. Besides most of the really well done madness flashes are created by people who have their own characters and animations already. So really you're talking out of your ass there.

personally, and this is just my opinion, I think its great when anything out there gives people incentive to try something new when it comes to animating. It always sucks when people like yourself shit on it.

besides your work is garbage and is worse than most madness movies out there, so what does that say about you.

opinions = count of people on the Earth. Xionico, Littlelucky and Nuva are madness pros, they have their own styles of madness, and that's cool. Yes, I know that flash is the program for everyone, and everyone can make there anything they want to, and i can't criticise them, it's not my deal. Everything I wrote was only my thoughts about them, and about what they make. I just thought that they could do something better and unique, but... well ok.

And yes, I know that my animation and drawing skills are lower than the sea level, but I try to do my best. Thanks for detailed criticism.

it's hard to come up with an idea for a flash i presume, and madness seems like its fun to animate, but then again challenging. but yeah i know where your coming from, I think you could actually make more from making a flash about an original character, and people can see that that character's yours, and your known for it.

karthon 2010-09-27 19:39:59

maybe I'm just wrong, whrn I think that flash animation should be original and unique...

Xyresic 2010-09-27 19:47:34

Hey if madness is their style and they enjoy it, does it really matter?

karthon 2010-09-27 19:47:34

well, it's not actually THEIR style... I'm happy they enjoyed it, but I just surprised with fact that they could do much better, but still sit with basics.

Alpha-Nuva 2010-09-27 22:31:32

you're partially right. only reason i still dick around with madness is to either make money or because i left a loose plotline at the end of an episode. but you should really check out some of my other non-madness toons. i do have a few.

karthon 2010-09-27 22:31:32

I saw your FBF part in a collab... Desintegration 3, i think... that was sehr gut, and I can't understand why don't you make your own stylish battle , with your own charismatic characters, epic battles etc. etc...

To tell the truth, you are right. I am getting a tad tired of the same grey/red hued "shoot hide punch" system that most Madness movies have. I liked Xionico's work best, even more than i like Krinkels in fact. Madness needs a new direction. Movies like "Everything MustGo" or "Madness Duel" were great, they showed different sides and different ways to show the "shoot hide punch" routine. Unfortunately no one seems to want to follow that style. Kudos to you for being honest.

karthon 2010-09-28 07:04:15

Xionic madness, Hulalaoo's madness and Dawn/Day/Dusk of the madness was the only reason to wait for this day. Well, it's bad that LLL is finished his trilogy :C

karthon 2010-09-28 11:38:13 (Updated 2010-09-28 12:38:26)

hey, isn't that bugrer fell from your mouth?

Hulalaoo 2010-09-28 12:36:19

MC is rude

karthon 2010-09-28 12:36:19
