Slow motion blows

*neatoman* · 06-04-2015, 06:00 AM

So what's with the constant slow motion blows? Is it to get around network censor or something? I don't think I have seen it in any other show, at least not to this extent.

Style I'd imagine, first and foremost. Its just a visual medium the directors are fond of - similar to the freeze frame and slow mo shots that were a mark of the Matrix trilogy.

Does Ciro or any of the other directors/producers involved use it much in other shows?

Its an anime thing. You've never seen anime where characters attack each other with still screens or slow motion blows?

Since TMNT takes some cues from anime it has them too.

Yeah but for some reason it's a lot more... Noticable here.

I like the slow motion stuff as it adds more of an effect when they're fighting and get hit or land a blow.

Not really, if you watched the original Teen Titans cartoon they do the same thing in the fight scenes there. Considering Ciro worked on both shows its not a surprise.

The slow motions are great, you can see details clearly and absorb everything.

*Coola Yagami* · 06-04-2015, 08:22 PM

I don't know... the slow motion used here is kinda different. Maybe cause it's CGI or something, but it feels much more epic and 'cinematic' than just a cartoon/anime thing. Plus is has that extra hum type sound whenever that happens. I've seen that happen in movies or Dead or Alive 5 that started using slo-mo suspense before the super blow hits. Don't recall ever seeing an anime do that. Yeah, they do slo-mo too, but not in this epic cinematic style.

I personally don't mind. Especially since this show actually dares to show a fist connect with someone's face. Bout damn time.

Being a fan of Smallville, I love the slow motion stuff and would love to see an episode where someone gets super speed.

The slow-mo sequences are cool and are well blended with fast-paced battle sequences. I've got no complaints about it.

I agree; they are very noticeable and sometimes I don't see why a slo-mo scene was even needed.

Especially for the young audience, it is a good method for viewers to determine the climatic moments that take place. Whether it stands the test of time or not is a big question though, but whenever this happens, I would like to see the audio reflect this by slowing down the tempo of the music/rhythm and have the voices reflect this with long cries/words that maximize the effect.

It looks really freaking cool and adds emphasis to what's going on.
