Have you noticed how people are all just making shity angles now instead of 2-D. like an angle fight like this is okay http://filz.us/Rx6 (Animation By EZ) but this is just ugly http://www.filz.us/HZR (idk who made this lol) I don't like how alot of angles are you stills with a vcam tween. why can't we just be like this http://www.stickpage.com/rhgbattle4play.shtml (animation by ArmorStick) tell me if you agree or have a similair opinion or anything else. :)

Because people like to try out new things?

Angles are like sprinkles on an ice cream. You don't need em' but they taste and look good with em'.

could be true but people think that one 4 second still with a vcam movement is the same as 4 seconds of 2-D

Yeah a couple of sprinkles are good but don't load your 2-D icecream with 3-D Sprinkles.

People don't use angles correctly because, they're lazy. If you're lazy then don't do angles

Yesh.

No. The examples you used to prove your point are useless, because the fundamental skill level between the animations is vastly different. I pretty sure Ez knows a lot more about what he is doing than the person who you are comparing him to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying out angles regardless of whether you are good at them or not because I think we can all agree that shit will make you moist if done properly. The choice to stick to simplistic 2-d is one that is not up to you or anyone else, because animators are really allowed to animate whatever the fuck they want

And for fuck's sake the animation is called a practice for a reason

It's hilarious the way this community talks about concepts like "fullbody" and "angles" like they're novelties. It's like a guitar forum calling chords "multi-fingering" or something. These are basic, rudimentary concepts that animators should be learning and practicing from the beginning.

Calling angles "sprinkles" as if they're something to be used sparingly is ridiculous. Watch a single episode of something like Adventure Time or The Simpsons and count the number of times the animation stays on the flat two-dimensional perspective used in 99.999% of the animations here. Those shots are probably the most boring, forgettable scenes in the entire show, if there are any at all.

Some people are good at animating angles, some people aren't. That's their choice, and if that's your problem, boo hoo.

Well in a community that animates mostly 2-D with no faces stick figures angles are above average. Not really something that is memorizing but something that will make you say 'oh cool'.

But I see your point.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH.
Best joke of the day.

If its on Fileize, its likely a practice. If its on SP front, its serious. The examples you used are too different.

Did anyone else think that 2-D had finally returned to this thread?

Unfortunately...

I think you all misunderstood. I ment that there are very few who stick to 2D. And I feel like people that have just started think that that's the way to start. I believe that anyone with little or no experience in animation should stick to 2D until they have more control over the sticks.

Yeah, I always found it funny that the term full-body even existed. Angles will always be called angles, however. Problem is, angles are what Exile said. Basic stuff. It's not like they're even hard or anything. I guess people get accustomed to 2-D all the time. Which is... well.... How should I say it? Odd? Strange? No. I don't know but, I hope you get the idea.

Oh, yesh. Dats true. And later, actually ANIMATE SCENES WHEN USING ANGLES. Not damn V-cam tweens. With all due respecks to CaM.
