A user at techzonez.com posted that up. Very interesting. I can get into that sort of CGI.

Why oh why do CG animators have to always overdo everything? This little film is a classic example of the "Jar-Jar Binks Effect." The animators spent so much time doing every little detail perfectly, they forgot to take a step back and look at the big picture. You can look at little segments of the film and see where the animator said "whoa, I bet I could get that falling rope to drop in an undulating, sinusoid pattern using soft body dynamics." And then he sat down and spent a week making a rope fall perfectly according to his demented dynamics. And this was just 1 second of the film.
Please oh please, spare us from yet another overdesigned futuristic vehicle and especially from comic-relief alien sidekicks. You cannot remake "Jaws" as a short by substituting raw computer horsepower for storytelling talent.

I may be a critic, but you ought to consider that I might be right.

Did I ever say you were right or wrong? Just a critic...

Whether I am right or wrong is not my primary value as a critic. The value comes from considering whether I am right or wrong.

I didn't get the thing. What was he doing "fishing."? Was it for sport, his job? What?
