An example of our fears

Hey all, I came across this animation today... and it represents entirely why we arent doing a hugely sophisticated Gorilla Model...

You will notice is more or less stays on model but the animation suffers terrible- I dont think the answer is UPA because Upa is a highly stylized design that not everyone can pull off either-

Need to find a hibrid, solid character able to move in 3d but full of simple shapes that can be broken down really easily to get the motion down before the details are added

Hahahahaha...in fairness, there's nothing wrong with that character except that the person animating it sucks. Though I agree that we're better off doing something a little bit simplified.

As for the flashbacks, I don't think anyone particularly objects to them so long as they contribute meaningfully to the story. Our consensus was just that if they are no longer serving a purpose, we should do away with them.

YES! We need to avoid this at all costs.

I'd rather it be simple and fluid than detailed and.. this.
