You take that back. That animation is better than Newgrounds tier. It's on the same tier as Courage The Cowardly dog. Dilworth has been making cartoon shorts long before Courage became his best series.
John Dilworth pretty much made the entire short on his own with two other animators, one of which left after they apparently got into an argument.
It wasn’t like John K where he had tons of people working on Cans Without Labels but couldn’t be bothered to release it for nine years.
Be thankful that he’s even making new stuff at all. The mainstream industry doesn’t want him back and I doubt indie creators like Spindlehorse, Iron Circus or Glitch Productions care about uplifting old creators from our childhood who make internet content.
It still looks pretty bad for a 4 year project. This looks like something a indie youtube animator would release after like a few months of work at most.
Dilworth is a fricking crazy crazy crazy pants and he's pretty lucky his dirty laundry has mostly remained unaired or he'd be mega-cancelled. People seem to be mostly sympathetic to the fact that he has actual mental issues and is not always in control of himself, but that also doesn't mean that they'll choose to work with him.
I get what you're trying to go for re: indie studios having no interest in propping up the old indie vanguard, but in this case most people who are in the know steer clear.
>is a fricking crazy crazy crazy pants and he's pretty lucky his dirty laundry has mostly remained unaired or he'd be mega-cancelled
This better not be another essily offended troony acting like something innocuous is literally a war crime.
The animation looks about par for the course for NYC. I don't know what it is, but framerate always looks a bit more stilted and movement feels cheap on the east coast.
That said, I can understand the super low framerate if Dilworth is animating this solo or funding it out of pocket. Shit's expensive. I'm mostly disappointed with the music, sound design, and mix. It sounds fricking awful. I hope it's just temp sound and it will be fixed for the final but considering this is an official trailer it's not looking good.
It's hard to say how much of that time was spent actually working on it. I've been on animated projects that have taken years as well, but the work is done in chunks at a time. It's taken 4 years, but it's highly unlikely it means he's been working on it for 40+ hours a week for that full time. It's more like a month of working, and then a few months of letting the project go dormant.
I doubt he's paying those other two animators a full-time salary, so they're either working whenever he can save up enough to pay them to work on a scene or two, or they do shit pro-bono between having a job that pays the bills and life.
I don't know what Dilworth is doing these days, but NYC is expensive as shit and I'd imagine he has some sort of hustle he needs to work on to pay the bills.
The canned sound effects aren't as horrible as the actual way they're mixed, and that background music is fricking cancer. It's like some dickhead with a copy of Fruity Loops was like "HAY, AY PLEY GITAR! AY KEN DOO MYOOSIK".
The stock sfx worked in contexts like Courage because they were mixed decently. You knew the stock sounds were stock, but they didn't sound like a cut and paste job, and the professional sounding score was a nice counterpoint that helped make the cheesiness feel intentional. This is just awful.
Felix Colgrave mostly does films that are between 3-10 minutes long and his output tends to max out at about 3 projects in a year, but for the most part he does like 1.
He's also a lot younger, so he can burn the midnight oil. Dilworth is 60. Dude needs naps.
I forgot the link...
looks worse than a 20 year old flash animation. oh well.
yeah I don't get people in the thread making excuses for it. It's incredibly bad.
you guys do remember Courage right?
>I want cool concepts and ideas like the shows in the 90s had
>I want studio quality animation, art and acting
Which one Cinemaphile
The animation is extremely low quality though. It looks like something you'd see on newgrounds in a bad way.
I'd love to see you do a better job.
Honestly it looks about as good as my attempts at animation and that's the problem lol
post it then if you're so confident
digital animation makes things look like shit if you're doing traditional hand-drawn. just ask John K
>post it then if you're so confident
He's implying it's shit, not something he's confident in. Learn to read anon.
A guy doesn't need to know how to cook to tell if the chef put a pile of literal feces in front of him.
okay its not that bad

>It's on the same tier as Courage The Cowardly dog
it's not at all dude
I want movie now
How long has he been working on it?
at least 4 years

Also, this article mentions the animation Goose In High Heels, which I can't seem to find. It used to be on viemo but it's not up anymore.
>4 years
How the frick?
Also why doesn't he set up some Kickstarter or something so that his animation doesn't look like ass
That entire short is on Youtube,anon

Thanks
looks like an adult swim rando short or a mad cut away.

I'm genuinely interested in knowing more about his issues, can you post some links or provide extra info pls?

the canned sound effects are pretty awful but I think that's actually something he's into for whatever reason.

>Dilworth is animating this solo
He's not. It takes an entire team just to animate something like this.
It shouldn't
How does Felix Colgrave do it?
Felix Colgrave mostly does films that are between 3-10 minutes long and his output tends to max out at about 3 projects in a year, but for the most part he does like 1.
