Sketches v.s. the intro

tmntpower2003 · 01-08-2003, 06:58 PM

did anybody else notice the turtles looked not nearly as good as the first pictures we saw of them, does anybody else agree w/ me.

You gotta understand that still pictures will ALWAYS look better than animation just because they ARE still. When a picture is still, you have time to add more detail to a picture/graphic and the viewer has time to see it all as well. So yes, I did happen to notice that.

Keep in mind the video was that good quality as it would be on TV and it was much darker..

Dontebell · 01-08-2003, 07:07 PM

I like both of them.

*Nickokapo* · 01-08-2003, 07:27 PM

Me too.
And i agree with rez, a pic from the show itself will probably never look as good as a still one since they put a lot of detail in it (since it's just 1 picture, it'd take too much time to put lots of detail in every single frame of the toon)

tmntpower2003 · 01-08-2003, 07:28 PM

thanks for clearing that up and yeah it will probably look better on tv. But i am so pumped now, and i can already tell my favorite character will me the shredder he looks like a hard ass. doesn't he?

I was still extremely impressed. Like I said, there is a close up of Leo's face that looks straight out of the comic. More jagged cheekbone, and upper lip over lower lip with teeth grilling through.

well from what i've seen so far, i guess they have decided to go with the turtles each being a different shade of green like in the later sketches, which is cool.

*Raph* · 01-09-2003, 02:38 AM

Yep I noticed the different shades of green , just like the old and new toys, but the differents is not as big in the cartoon, and thats good I think

After all when they were just ordinairy turtles they were all the same sort

**Karpo_007** · 01-09-2003, 04:02 AM

Actaully I didn't even notice that they didn't look as detailed...

tmntpower2003 · 01-09-2003, 07:20 PM

now that i re watched the intro and paused it on the close ups they are just as good as the sketches, just with a little less detail

*Jephael* · 01-10-2003, 09:11 AM

I think it's neat how this time around each turtles' weopen has those mask colored bands. But the only thing I don't understand is, why don't they do that for the toys?

*Eye of Sarnath* · 01-10-2003, 01:29 PM

What can I say, from what I've seen, the new series looks great! Anyone notice that Don seems to be carrying a bag slung across his shoulder? Or am I just seeing things? At first I thought it might just be his belt, but I don't think so.

tmntpower2003 · 01-10-2003, 01:32 PM

its a bag cause when he does that flip with his bow you can see it bounce off his back

*Eye of Sarnath* · 01-10-2003, 02:07 PM

So, I'm not the only one who saw it! Okay, but what it is? I mean, why does he have it? He's never carried a bag before...

Shaggz · 01-10-2003, 02:31 PM

Yeah, I noticed Donny's bag too. I was wondering if maybe he will carry around a bunch of little gadjets and tools or something.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 01-10-2003, 02:37 PM

That's what I thought it would be for, or maybe weapons. Maybe he's got a bag full of shuriken! Heh heh...

tmntpower2003 · 01-10-2003, 11:56 PM

probably nerd gadgets that donny always plays with

*R-iZZy* · 01-11-2003, 12:24 AM

they aren't "nerdy" weapons, just well-thought out, planned-out... *thinks* okay, they're nerdy. Dang, and he was my favorite one. Come to think of it, he still is.

**Kali** · 01-11-2003, 09:15 AM

Weapons aren't the only things ninja carry. They have many, many tools they use. Like lock picks, smoke bombs, that cool security camera fooling frame thing.

Climbing gear, calthrops, I could go on forever. And of course a good deal of practical electronic gear.
