Topic: Who has the most life-like animation?

I think ZachMG and NathanWells have life-like animation. Are there any others?

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

David Pagano is the king of brickfilming.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

Zach Macias, probably. Though "life-like" is an odd term, since the best animation isn't necessarily life-like at all.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

I agree that MindGame / Zach Macias has the best animation of minifigures that I've seen.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

I'd say Nosniborous, but he's not around anymore.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

It's mostly tied with:

David Pagano

Zach Macias

and

Robinson Wood

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

Yes, I do think Nosniborus / Robinson Wood's animation in Grace is pretty impressive as well.  I don't recall any minifig-based animation by David Pagano that really stood out, but his larger-scale animation work is really good.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

I do think Robinson Wood has awesome animation, but he hasn't made a brickfilm in so long I bet he lost his talent.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

Hehe, I don't think you really lose your talent. It's like riding a bike, you can get shaky, but it comes back to you with some time. Not to mention that seeing as last I recall (I could be wrong, of course), Nos was in an animation class at college he may be doing things we just don't know about.

True.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

I'm not sure of his real name but I think Keshen8 has incredible animation!!!

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

I've noticed that, except for David Pagano (and me), you guys seem to be focusing on the action/fighting aspects of minifig animation.  I don't want to downplay it, but I do think other aspects of animation are important.

Nathans right. as he always is. mini/wink

Not all of MG's animations are fighting. Look at his part in the Day BF.com Crashed, it was superb.

Any-who, if I released an animation, I'd be on this list. Not trying to brag. But two years since a film, I've so many tests.

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

Nathan Wells
Zach Macias (Mindgame)
David Pagano
Robinson Wood (Nosniborus)

So yeah, we all agree.

But "lifelike" can't be used to describe minifig animation, as they barely look like people. Lifelike would go better with claymation, the dark side of animating mini/bigsmile

Re: Who has the most life-like animation?

I know he hasn't done much, but some of VN's recent work is very impressive.  And ditto with what has been said already.

Huh? VN's produced a lot of brickfilms in the past year.

I'd go with Mindgame and Nosniborous.
