After there recent book launch at Ghetto Gloss this summer. Titmouse seems to be launching a how great it is campaign. First at the CTN Animation Expo at the titled Small Studio Success in a Big Studio Town panel than at the Cinefamily Animation Festival. There co- sponsoring a event
How MTV Rocked The Animation World plus Titmouse Studio Live Panel!
It fascinates me because titmouse's quality is cheap, fluid-less animation. It's very static .It must not take as long for titmouse than a better animation house because they don't have to animate as much. Many shows do this, usually adult humor shows that don't rely on animation and more on just being violent and stupid. I watch and love Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but the animation quality is beyond simplistic. Cartoon Brew recently showed how The Simpsons has become stiff, do to the switch over the years to flash based computer animation. Even thought that has happened and you can make characters move easier you can definitely see a difference in quality.
I'm not happy for the success because there success is a big thumbs up to cheap crappy animation. I'll give them credit for design work if they actually are behind the backgrounds and props and characters in Metalocalypse, but I'm not sure they are. There handling the second season of Superjail! so I wonder what the difference will be from Augdenblick Studios fluid animation that is know used for Ugly Americans.
Really Giant Robot is behind the scenes more with events in LA, recently enough at the same venue theater The Cinefamily and separately at the Pixel Pushers art show. I just found it disturbing they were promoting themselves more maybe in hopes of getting even more work, but they seem to have their plate full to my chagrin.
I separately wonder how bad the next G.I. Joe cartoon will be.
