Onstad's clean lines should make this fairly cheap and easy to animate, which that snippet sort of confirms (to the extent that ten seconds of video can confirm anything).

― I Don't Wanna Be Dissed (By Anyone But You) (WilliamC), Friday, 1 March 2013 04:09 (2 months ago) Permalink
it does feel a little flat but maybe that's because i'm already familiar with the jokes. i can't imagine the comics being acted out any other way. timing does seem weird.
the voices are certainly jarring but again... i don't know how i'd expect ray to sound. the voice as-is is a little weird, but i hope and assume that will be refined. i think i might have expected ray to speak with enthusiasm in the place of a funky accent.
my least fav voice is philippe - just seems like generic child voice, which i always find grating
agree that onstad was on point
best voice of the test footage was tina though, for sure. "terrible". curious as to how they'll flesh out the less-explored characters. i was always curious about tina and hearing her talk in her terrible voice confirmed my suspicions about who she was i think

Huh liked it better than I thought I would, but maybe that's just because there was ten people itt pooping on it. Onstad actually nailed Roast Beef, but I guess he knows these voices intimately. Ray was close to what I imagined but something is off, like the actor isn't fully committed. Philippe is whatever. Worst was that the comedic timing was weird like many have pointed out, but I still laughed at a couple jokes like Philippe's scone line.

This reminds me of how a few months ago I was in the mood to look up old Calvin and Hobbes strips and read them and have a nostalgia party. I nostalgia partied for a while and enjoyed it very much. Then, after about an hour, I wondered if anyone had done any amateur animation on youtube, so I went there, and some had, and they were repulsive, and my nostalgia party abruptly ended.

In an ideal world, the Achewood cartoon would be entirely in scratchy hand drawn cel animation, kind of like the old MTV Migraine Boy bumpers. The current footage as it stands all feels a little too...smooth.
― Pheeel, Saturday, 2 March 2013 17:08 (2 months ago) Permalink
All these years thinking how well Onstad's non-punctuation and "uh"-prefixing of Beef's lines conveys him speaking in a hesitant monotone and it turns out that Onstad-voiced Beef does not talk in a hesitant monotone
(but yeah, Beef way less jarring than Ray, certainly)
― susuwatari teenage riot (a passing spacecadet), Saturday, 2 March 2013 17:22 (2 months ago) Permalink
agreed. this computer animation is both too smooth and too weird. in the credits they mention motion capture was used, which maybe explains why it feels like one long uncomfortable cutscene.
i'm only bummed about this because a) i love achewood and b) i've always thought it had potential as an animation.

It's weird to me that anyone might have a problem with the smoothness of the animation itself considering that the original Illustrator vector art is about as smooth as you can get. It was off-putting when the Simpsons made the transition to that creepy all-computer razor-sharp HD art, but Achewood's always looked that way. That was part of its original charm for me, that the guy who created it was clearly just goofing off with Illustrator when he was probably supposed to be at work designing something important.
spacecadet, completely agree - I expected beef to be waaay flatter and 100% monotone.
― del griffith, Saturday, 2 March 2013 17:38 (2 months ago) Permalink
I agree with this. Re: Onstad's Beef voice, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried it flatter and in a monotone and it just didn't work for a cartoon. Another option could have just been audible mumbling and subtitles, but naaaaah. I think this is a workable compromise.

Ray sounds a lot older than I imagined him sounding. Like 10-20 years older. That cat could be purple, is what I'm saying, but not old.
I'd probably get used to it, but I'm not sure there's any reason to get used to it. I love Achewood. It doesn't have to go on forever, get animated, or even have closure. I'd like to see Onstad do something different, or just enjoy his life beyond the bounds of my awareness.
