The sketch lines call back to the better days of animation. Sure, our technology has become more sophisticated, flawless, and easier to look at. But with it are fewer stories to tell. This is a labor of love, not a soulless corporate product, and every sketch line I see reminds me that this is a real story worth telling.

@Frogger hand drawn art is significantly more expensive than 3D animation 3D animation its much easier to just reuse the same assets in the same circumstances compared to 2D and since colouring lighting and background don't need to be redrawn every time there is a change makes 3D animations much much cheaper than 2D next these guys where not forced to used 2D animation they strictly chose to as it does look better and is more expressive for reference per min of 3D animation it can cost between $1000 to $10 000 but 2D animation can cost between $7000 to $20 000 per min and thats without the luxury that the cost goes down after the first episode with 3D animation as they dont need to recreate main characters or main areas again and can just render the new scene BTW this pilot made 124k in the first hour on Kickstarter
@frankielovejoy9928 Жыл бұрын
@Joshua G Sadly true. I'm no animation expert, but I do know studios and animators are constantly looking for, not necessarily shortcuts, but easier and faster ways to create animation so they can animate better, animate more, and reduce the amount of money and work it takes to make animation happen. And animation is HARD. It can take months to get animation like what we see here. Imagine doing that CONSTANTLY. Now, I LOVE the animation we see here, and I think it would be great for a film or maybe a comic art style, but for a cartoon series, not so much. They'd have to really downgrade the animation if this was, say, on TV and had a TV budget, but then it would lose a lot of what makes this cool in the first place.

As funny and absurd as Rocky is, he’s debatably the most tragic character of the cast. Almost every character has gone through some tragedy, but they all can do something Rocky can’t, leave with something to fall back onto and that’s what makes it so depressing . Whether it’s because of their skills or their charm every character can have a “normal” life. Rocky’s a dysfunctional, mentally ill, socially inept 23 year old who has no family to come crawling back to, money to soften the fall or skills in demand. He fights so hard to keep his place, and while many of the bad things that happen can be traced back to his decisions, much more is directed at him unfairly. Victor punching him, and generally being neglected (with the notable exception of Mitzi Zib and Ivy) and mocked are more often than not a result of actions by Rocky that were out of his control. As someone who grow up mental illness I’ve seen what happens to people left untreated, they end up like Rocky, dysfunctional and hated. All of this makes Rocky such a wonderful but tragic character, I hope that one day he’ll find some inner peace and happiness (if Tracy and Fable allow it that is I certainly hope they do).

I was way worse than Rocky, he just needs someone to come along and provide him with stability and affection. It’s just the environment he’s in and his own insecurities get in the way. He’s not unfixable. He definitely wouldn’t be sent an asylum because he’s not insane, he’d be sent to prison if he was caught. I think a lot of people vastly overestimate how sick he is.

I have never heard of the comics let alone this animation before now, but I definitely wish that I had sooner now that I watched this gem of a Pilot episode to a show. The animation reminds me heavily of old Disney animated shows with the fluidity of most movements. The art style itself is an absolute spectacle, especially with how dark and gritty a lot of scenes are, making the warmer settings really pop when presented towards the end. Sound design and music felt very reminiscent of the times that it strives so desperately to be as accurate as possible to, which they pulled off spectacularly and even the guns sound realistic and impactful, maybe even something you would hear in an old production film. I even loved the old timey film effects they used when the episode was about to start and end, giving it that vibe of knowing when this is probably going to be set before you start watching it, and as a reminder when you're finished watching. I absolutely love the Pilot, and I eagerly await what comes next.

We should take a moment to appreciate Tracy's portrayal and extensive knowledge of the 1920s. It's an era that's often generalized/idealized, but Tracy's dedication to historical accuracy, from specific historical events and technology to the characters' clothing and vocabulary, makes the world of Lackadaisy feel all the more authentic and captivating.

@@sunfishensunfishen2271 If you’re going to be nitpicky, the M1928 Thompson submachine gun should be a larger stick out (to any gun nut, for obvious reasons) but Being as it’s a work of fiction and we quite literally have nothing else like it, I’d say virtually anything would be “passable”. (If you’re curious, the M1921AC didn’t have the large compensator at the front. The model used in the video has a cuts compensator, making it the M1928A1).
