Less Than One Second of Footage from The New Show

*Slap-Happy* · 04-07-2011, 03:20 AM

I actually did find some animation from the show. Sure it's less than a second of it, but we get a look at the turtles.

See the vid here:

I actually like the look here. Looks a lot less awkward than in that cg pic of Leo.

Dammit. May I ask where?

*Jester* · 04-07-2011, 04:31 AM

Not sure, but here's just the clip. I tried to zoom in and slow it down.

They do look cool even if it only for a second.

Sweet, thanks for sharing both those links...never thought Id be excited over a second of footage, I am though!

I took some pics from my phone yesterday when I saw this... I was hoping to be the first to post it! Oh well....

If you have comcast or your cable offers Nick On Demand you can find this promo in better quality if you look up the Kids Choice Awards and go to the 31 minute mark of it. It's the first commercial they show there. I was so hyped when I saw it by accident! Someone should use video capture to get a better clip from the direct feed!

I think they look WAY better than the first couple images we were shown and will only get better. Note Mikey and Don's weapons in their original forms!

*AquaParade* · 04-07-2011, 10:15 AM

Thanks for posting those blown up pics, Crazy!

The little round heads and over-sized knee pads aren't really doing it for me, so I hope they fix those things.

WOW!! Thank you do much for these! They are much better quality and you can really see the other 3 guys much better!

For some reason their animation looks stiff, like the way Raph is standing with his pose. Not much articulation.

I realize this is early though, so whatever it may improve.

**Venom** · 04-07-2011, 11:23 AM

I don't even notice the others moving at all, I thought they were static images while Leo was given the small animation.

*Luzmagica* · 04-07-2011, 11:37 AM

Thanks a lot CrazySquirrel!!! Those caps are so nice to see better the Green guys!!!

CrazySquirrel · 04-07-2011, 12:03 PM

No problem. I LOVE the shell on Leo. They still look a little plain but it's better than any other images I've seen so far. At this point the animation becomes "at least watchable" for me. The older ones reminded me of PS2....

Sword Slicin' Leo · 04-07-2011, 12:15 PM

Leo looks like Don....

Am i the only one?

That's why I don't like them! haha
They look all glompy and odd.
I really wish they would have stuck with 2d.

*Spitfire* · 04-07-2011, 12:19 PM

Way to short to judge it too hard but not digging it. Their heads look weird. They lack texture, which we saw in the promo pics, and it looks like a video game cut scene more then a series. I wish they stuck with 2D as well.

1984TMNT · 04-07-2011, 12:29 PM

I agree that something is off with the look....I kinda dig the varying size, but the head shapes and eyes definitely need some work. Why not stick with the more traditional look of the heads - increase the size of the lower half a bit so they don't look so round? And is it just me or does the single black dot within the whites of their eyes make them look hollow/soulless?? (Maybe they just look more, "fake" because of this..?) It reminds me of how I took a sharpie to my original action figures to give them a pupil, which ended up looking "off" as well....

While I think they can get the CG look right, I too would have preferred something closer to the look Alex has done on his own...

This would have been so bad-a$$ and given Nick a new "look" that is both modern and faithful to all previous interpretations.

1984TMNT · 04-07-2011, 12:31 PM

I know it's only a nano-second of footage, but I really hope the heads are given more shape...The more I look at it, the more I really have a problem with the round heads and flat faces. Spitfire, I agree the heads lack texture, but I would say that goes for their whole body. The one thing the 2K7 movie did right was give the CG turtles texture. Can't we get something like that for the new series?
