      SKIBBZ is a legend. Am I the only one who thinks he won't die?

      If he dies, I will go and beat the crap out of that Ati character myself.

  2. In the progress of animating Concept 5, I've noticed that this one is more circled around SKIBBZ's Character instead of James. Like you actually follow his emotions and his character a lot more than James/Ati.

  3. One year ago today was the death of Daniel "Pepper" 
    Rest in peace old friend.

      @SteampunkSkeleton A good friend of James, he taught him a lot and if it weren't for him, James wouldn't be as good as he is now with film. Pepper also made a sound pack which is spread around a lot in the Mine-imator community.(Mainly for fight animations.) This video explains a lot more and about the amount of impact he had on James.

      @Nimi Ah, I remember a little from a topic that Tan posted. That clears something up.

      @The Tan James Sorry for your loss. I'd say something dramatic, but I can't think of anything that wouldn't upset anyone or anything. Sorry.

  5. One of the universities I applied to found a mistake that they made that for some odd reason made them believe I was graduating in another year, they corrected it and accepted me. So I'm in now.

      Congratulations!

  6. So I applied to 3 Colleges and 2 Universities. Each of them turned me down because of a small 2% margin in my grades. Screw this crap education system.

      @The Tan James Holy shit.

      Here in Britain, it's like you got an A in Maths, Science, English? But got a F in everything else? Well welcome aboard to a college better than Harvard.

       

      We don't do GPA's here, I feel sorry for you man... jheez. So what are you gonna do now?

      @CisforCrispr Not sure. I mean I can try to redo courses by and stuff but i just really have to focus on school right now to try my best to get higher marks.

  8. Every time someone asks me if I want to be immortal and I say no, they ask "omg are u emo?" like bruh no. have you heard about the story of the man who watched everyone die while he was just there constantly living?

  9. Would you guys like to see my FILM content on here? or should I just post my (cringe) animations here?

  10. at this point i'm tempted to take down the MGB central website as a whole. Everything went worse than I expected.

      Well, I appreciate the different projects of MGBs. But, bad ones are really bad.

      Some time ago I sent you a private message on the forums about the websites as I had Ideas to improve it. You probably have a bunch of messages everyday so I can understand why you might not have seen the message yet.

      @The Tan James At this point I'm a bit confused on the MGB system. When MGB Central was still active, the rules were that both opponents had to make a fight animation, and then there would be a judge. However, nowadays I'm seeing animators creating MGB's and publishing without judging. What's more, all they had to do to challenge the opponent was to ask for the latest rig. I'm starting my own MGB series, so could I have some clarification please?

      Also why am I replying to a 4 year old status update lmao

  11. ur welcome for u pic bb

  12. I seem to be enjoying Film alot more than Animation. Not surprising. Animation was after all only a hobby for me, filming was what I really wanted to do.

  13. caption this

      CaZaKoJa. The man who did the impossible. And you say he has "issues". I'm not hating. It's just that his animations show what a hard life he has. No need to make it worse.

      Me when my crush was about to give me a hug...

      Sadly, she hugged my best friend instead.

  15. jumping from a true and actually good story of a best friend back into a nasty story about waking up from edgy dreams is going to be really weird.

    (jumping from working on Farewell Oblivion to Reality is going to be naste)

      trashpack05

      it sounds really weird... changing projects can be weird...hope you get a new comp soon!

  16. So for any of you who haven't heard, my computer finally died a few days ago. I don't have any way of doing anything until I get a new one so for now I'm borrowing a school laptop for computer work and whatnot. I'll be getting a new one pretty soon however. (Soon as in maybe 1 - 3 weeks from now)

      @NietyFox True, Rip offs usually tick me off. However I don't get anywhere near as bothered by remakes as I do people actually downloading my video and reuploading it for the sake of "helping me get views"

    3. Immqrtal

      Immqrtal

      @The Tan James People actually re-upload it and call it helping you getting views , that is actually very sad . but tbh they are probably 10 year old minecraft lovers telling there friends that they created it :P life is amazing

  19. wow guys, all these status updates were posted a year ago (hahah original joke LAUGH)

      SB7989

      ahahaha.

       

       

       

      you made a funny.

  20. So i've been experimenting with types of fighting styles in Reality as you may be able to tell. However, I'm having difficulty deciding which one was the most effective in terms of making the fight an actual good fight. Here are the notes I jotted down in a .txt file


     

    Concept 1 

    2D Continuous 

     

    Concept 2

    2D Cutting

     

    Concept 3

    3D Jump Shot

     

    Concept 4 (First Fight)

    3D Multi Shot

     

    Concept 4 (Second Fight)

    2D Multi Shot

     

    Concept 5 (First Fight)

    3D Energetic

     

    Concept 5 (Second Fight)

    2D Energetic

     

    *when 2D is described, it refers to the shots that show the fight from the side view similar to mortal combat. 3D is where the camera explores further angles other than a simple side shot

     

    *Difference between Continuous and Cutting is that Continuous is all one shot with out any cuts in a large portion (preferably >10 seconds) while Cutting is where the camera changes location and cuts a shot.

     

    *Jump Shot is similar to 2D Cutting, however, the shot begins at the start of a new move in slow motion, and ends with the ending of the move still in slow motion. The sync in the music is often expressed by the angle change.

     

    *Multi Shot refers to the style where multiple camera angles are used on the same move in a given fight

     

    *Energetic refers to the movement of the camera which often matches the same transitions and movements as the character or move in a given shot. Energetic also contains Camera shake for many of the moves.

      @lou3d he doesn't mean the concept in general, he just means the style of fighting. That doesn't include the sword wings or bug glitch texture swap thing.

      And even if we're talking about the concept itself, have you SEEN the sneak peeks for concept 5?

      Cus you have to.

      They're so hype.

      @lou3d Dab???? DAB?!?!???? DAB????????????????

       

  21. After ALOT of planning, choreographing and scripting, me and my friend have managed to put together a general base to how we could pull off a LIVE ACTION Reality concept. The one downside is that we wouldn't be able to do Ati because we don't have a good enough costume designer atm.

      @Salaudo Now that sounds like a good idea, however I have a budget of less than 1000$ which is a little difficult

  22. ALRIGHT KIDS STORY TIME

    Okay so i was going through Pepper's sound drive right? (I gained ownership of it when he passed away in July) And since he has multiple drives I was going through his 2016 one and well, I decided to put a long friggen Voice over in the drive just for temporary storage, when I went to look at the file just now, I listen to it and, ITS CORRUPTED WITH TONS OF ROARS, STATIC GLITCHES, SCREAMS, FARTs. ALL THIS CRAP AND IM SCARED.
