Go! Animate

GLORIOUSLeader

It sucks.

This video sums up my feelings towards it.

What bothers me is that a guy with Flash such as Happy Harry can do better animation than the entire Family Guy staff

DYRE

Why would anyone think that an animation program that only lets you make animations that look like Family Guy and are voiced by Microsoft Sam only with an accent, is a good idea?

I think a lot of cartoons are done in Flash nowadays. Adventure Time and My Little Pony are the only ones I can recall, though.

Also, I love this guy's stuff.

DYRE

Yeah, lots of professionally-made cartoons are done in Flash.  It sort of has a reputation for crappy amateur cartoons, like the sort that are on Newgrounds, but... it does see lots of professional use too.  And even when not using Flash, most cartoons are done with some form of software like that.  Traditional animation is too expensive and makes a lot of things much more difficult.

GLORIOUSLeader

Flash is actually not terrible for animation. If it's implemented well, it can make for very good animation.

If it's not, and the animators are lazy asses (hello Johnny Test), then it just looks like samey shit.

Anyway, this program can be good when used to parody Family Guy, at least

Gelzo

Okay, that was pretty good.

I've seen a lot of Newgrounds stuff that's pretty mind blowing...if you stick with the front page only and don't go anywhere else.

Here's a video that demonstrates Go Animate!'s vast, untapped potential:

This is giving me flashbacks to shitty computer stuff in the 90's.

Was there some flash animation in PSG? I remember some stuff that looked kind of off, specifically in the volleyball episode.

nohaynicklibre

^ Yes there was, for example the South Park-style Art Shift in that episode was made with Flash. And the peek-a-boo scene in the diet episode

"I am the main character, you do what I say."

Yeah, pretty much.
