I love the animation in Pocoyo, specially when he rotates as if he's in a wheel while walking, then continues to walk as if rotating like that was perfectly natural. Also the narrator/character interactions are awesome. lastly... I recommed that you check out Super Jelly Jam League, a new show created by some of the Pocoyo creators.opossumfxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09480815463108765750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-89812489272957207932011-11-30T02:42:00.206-05:002011-11-30T02:42:00.206-05:00When are you going to do your own podcast?When are you going to do your own podcast?Demetrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416616105572824439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-13104847723878666142011-11-29T21:58:54.563-05:002011-11-29T21:58:54.563-05:00Great post, and always good to see innovative, cha...Great post, and always good to see innovative, charming CG animation (which Pocoyo has in spades) highlighted. I've spent a fair amount of time step-framing through some of the Pocoyo shots, just to understand how they do what they do. It made me rethink some of my assumptions about CG animation.Kevin Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106628232118096961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-40649252412286220462011-11-24T15:55:02.856-05:002011-11-24T15:55:02.856-05:00My experience dealing with TV animation is that it...My experience dealing with TV animation is that it's always two parties that don't understand the software being used (Flash, Maya, etc.) making the deals and budgets & schedules (I.E. a studio dealing with a network) They then turn around and tell the crew, 'this has to get done with this amount of money in this amount of time' and it never does, because the things they agreed upon are usually unrealistic for the chosen medium/software. The labor usually ends up paying the consequences instead of the people who made the bad decisions from the get-go.

You can certainly see a lot of pose recycling going on if you watch closely (which, as the parent of a toddler, I have done quite a bit! ;-)<br /><br />I don't entirely agree about the later seasons though. It's true that some of the episodes aren't quite as charming as the first season, but I wouldn't attribute that to the environments so much as the writing. And some of the newer characters, like the four-legged octopus, are simply brilliant!Cassidy Curtishttp://otherthings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-37284586008656630672011-11-16T13:32:57.524-05:002011-11-16T13:32:57.524-05:00Very nice break down of what makes "Pocoyo&qu...Very nice break down of what makes "Pocoyo" work. Who needs backgrounds (if time and money are on short supply)? I was thoroughly entertained and intrigued by the look and movement of the characters.<br /><br />The interaction between the narrator and Pocoyo was also lively, not static, which of course adds to the overall appeal of the show.<br /><br />Wonderful blog.

The trade-off of many other elements for the sake of quality animation makes sense! ^_^foldingwisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347619286836793563noreply@blogger.com
