@TheNazzaro Same. I’m a bit more laissez faire about 180 line stuff, hooks ups, etc etc but this is a bit fugly. If I had to guess, this looks like a studio editorial decision. I doubt a director or editor cut it this way.
@JaredMorgan I agree that we definitely get too precious about things viewers won't notice but I'm surprised a supervisor didn't make a stink about this.
I'm ambivalent about the show, but I think it's hilarious watching a live-action show with an ~18 million dollar budget per episode sloppily cross the axis in a cut. Meanwhile, if I did this on an 11-minute studio animated project, someone would have an absolute conniption.
@TheNazzaro I could go on about this for days, but really, it's because it doesn't matter at the end of the day. Animation people, though, will pore over a board and animatic and agonize, but the average viewer won't notice unless it's especially jarring.
@DamianMaffei I keep Shudder because of Joe Bob. I’ve been a fan since a wee lad during the Monstervision days. No JB, no subscriber. Theyre offerings outside of that ain’t worth it.
Shudder may be losing the show that brought you there, but that free streaming app with all the ads and the titles that you love that you’re going to flee too… They’ve been known to edit movies. Cut things down, and zoom in on scenes.
Zoom. In. To censor.
In 2026. No thanks.
There’s a teeny tiny part in the Cuphead trailer that shows this particular bit I worked on. I think @TweetinV did the roughs for this and I came in and plussed it up. Ultimately, it looks like mugman and Cuphead got switched around.
