@@DrPeeper Эм что? Ты на полном серьёзе сравниваешь Murder Drones с Team Fortress 2? Мне напомнить как хорошо выглядят теневые персонажи в трейлере Пиро и как убого выглядят теневые персонажи в 5 серии этого сериала? При этом сериал не имеет абсолютно никакой причины чтобы делать людей такими. Ну допустим Тесса носит свой костюм, потому что там невыносимый холод( хотя там растет ёлка, что понижает температуру до 40 градусов Цельсия),но почему люди на балу полностью черные? Они не на секретном интервью как Шпион или Скаут. Или Н не помнит лица людей? Но как это возможно, если Н в точности помнит всё остальное,что было в 5 серии?В том же Портале ни в первой ни во второй части наличие людей невозможно, ведь комикс рассказал про одного выжившего сотрудника компании. А вот наш сериал просто напросто сэкономил либо на деньгах либо на времени. Единственный человек которого нам раскрыли полностью эта Тесса, которую в 7 серии убили и воскресили убогим способом. Я не осуждаю создателей за такую дешевизну,но сейчас 2023- тот же Spec Ops the line вышел в 2012. Можешь сказать про бюджет сериала,но у сериала есть время, ибо разница в 10 лет не маленькая. И кстати - почему ты говоришь по английскому, Самурай?

A reason why people say 3d animation is easier is because first, once you made a 3d asset, you can reuse it infinite times, while for 2d you need to redraw it again and again, in terns of reusability, 3d may cost higher at the begining, but is cheaper in long term, while 2d is the opposite Second, just like the video says, you can buy some assets to make things easier (not saying this is lazy, 3d modeling is surely not an easy job, it tooks time and budget) But is 3d ALWAYS easier than 2d? it still, depends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯， 3d or 2d are just mediums, like for 3d you can go for lower budget KZread kids stuff, or high budget Pixar stuff, 2d also, you got low budget Isekai stuff, and high budget Ghibli stuff. The main reason I think for people not so liking 3D is because the over usage of 3D as animation medium in the West for big corporations

The look of the humans gave me a "bendy and the ink machine" vibe, which to me made the flashback more tense, and it really worked

Personally, it was going from episode 7 back to the pilot that really blew my mind. The quality difference is astounding, and I'm so happy they didn't rush this new episode, but took their time in polishing the scenes and animation. It makes a massive difference, and there's something about seeing the show sort of come into its own; pilot being obviously testing the waters of story and pushing the boundaries of what they can animate, and by episode 7 it really becomes a defined show that knows what it's on about, flexing their fight scenes and subtle background actions that just makes me fall for this show more with every new episode.

@Wilter__

2 ай бұрын

The pilot is always the lowest on budget. Luckily it still went well enough for Glitch to make 6 more episodes with notably higher quality! 7 was very good in terms of animation. Of course animation will likely be more expensive than basically everything else an indie studio has to consider. Their advertisement is practically free via social media. Writing only needs 1 person at the minimum, and that person mainly needs to be dedicated to the show to write something good. Animation needs a team, with time, which costs a lot of money. It's amazing how well they did it- it clearly paid off taking time to polish it. Honestly, I feel like MD could've gone up in flames if they delayed ep 7 even more and it didn't come out polished.

What’s cool is that if you just watched MD, you wouldn’t even realize that at its core it’s just a modular environment from unity. The editing is just that cohesive and good.

Just look at Ep 7 from Murder Drones. The ep was amazing animated and had such a good way at telling the story, even when you have to wach it a view times to understand everything, but you had the feeling that so much happend. The the 3D animation is beautiful! ❤

I really hope it gets a second season of murder drones

"Making an Indie cartoon on a budget"... Dude i feel so bad for the animators/producers. They deserve so much more...

i think you should make a theory on the part of mass destruction on murder drones where khan says "If my wife's closet is right, the planet's gonna try and eat us soon"

Shows like murder drones validate my preference for 3d animation

This is such a magical time to be alive. There may be stuff that sucks in this time, but we also live in an era where the average person with a dream can get the technology to make them come to fruition, even if it isn't an immediate manifestation yet. These were the kinds of things that were only possible with massive studios that policed what could or couldn't be done because of higher-ups they had to answer to. It's all the more reason why freedom of expression is so important; to make individual expression possible and have a chance to compete. Obviously there are some objectively immoral/evil/illegal things that shouldn't be platformed at all, but that's its own topic. Massive studios suck nowadays because they're trying to appeal to as may people as possible to the point where their content is relatively sterle. Indie productions may technically have smaller fanbases, but they're more of a dedicated cult following because the studios are able to cater to their fans better.

After many months that time is here again; I'm a little late in commenting but I'm going through all your ep7 vids right now! You're so smart and explain everything clearer than anyone else, which is impressive because NOTHING confuses me more than Murder Drones and somehow you make me understand everything.

And if you didn't know, Glitch have actually said every MD episode costs between 300,000$ and 500,000$. So maybe not as cheap as you thought, lol. Or maybe that's normal and I have no idea. My dream is that one day animation can be dominated by indie creators. Godspeed Cartoon Universe!

I think that 3d animations are usually considered worse because it is easier, thus making more people with less skill make more of it(for an example the bad 3d movies like ratatoing), and because 2d is harder, only people who have more determination and passion really get the positive attention.

A lot of indie animation is so well-made! The only problem though with this new wave of shows coming out is that social media algorithms can get in the way of a lot of indie artists/studios expanding their audience beyond the pre-established ones they already have (unless they have had the luck and hard work as Vivzie and Co has put in with Hazbin Hotel, which was getting it picked up by A24 and displayed on Amazon Prime). I know plenty of friends that aren't even aware of shows like Murder Drones or Lackadaisy due to having busy lives and sticking to what they're used to (a lot of them are gamers that would be more likely to pull up an anime on Crunchyroll/a pirate site or Twitch streaming videos after a busy day at work). Shows that, for indie artists and animators to continue expanding their audience, they'll have to branch out similar to how Vivzie has done.

When it comes to the humans being silhouettes, I always thought it was because if their details are present they cant quite tell what's up kind of like face blindness. Or rather they don't have facial recognition software.

How i think its like is that the big studios try and grab everyone by reducing its core, it will mix things and let some good concepts so it fits the most/ wider range of people But indie animation aim for the group of people who will like it, they will put some parts of different media but at its core, it is for 1 specific group But thats just me guessing

The way indie animation is drown ether On computer 🖥️ or paper is amazing it’s something that I wanna do.

This makes me feel better. I wanna be able to do my own Indie shows one day. But I can't draw. I know 3d modeling will be hard, but it at least gives me something to work with.

As much as I love watching Cartoons on the TV and I always do, but ever since I watched Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss for the first time it makes me love Indie Animation in general. Who knows what the future of these Indie Animation Cartoons have in store.😁💕

I feel specifically called out in terms of being a huge 2d fan with a somewhat disdain for 3d BUT I have a disdain towards corporate Disney and even Pixar 3d because they don't do anything interesting with the 3d medium and instead everything feels the exactly same. Some companies have used 3d as an excuse to churn out mass produced stuff meant to sell toys not art. However I love that with Murder Drones you can still be cheap and allocate you budget where it matters and that is towards the animations and the fights instead of striving to make the whole production cheap.
