Paper Mario animation probably took a long time

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007 at 4:27pm by Jack

Interesting. Cute, even. But the rumored six months it took to complete seems a bit high. I think I’d rather just fire up Super Paper Mario on the Wii and play read a few hundred lines of dialogue instead. Or not.

EDIT@8:33 a.m.: Six weeks.

    “But the rumored six months it took to complete seems a bit high.” – They say six weeks, not six months, at gizmodo, which is a bit more reasonable.

    Hmm…

    Six months? I make animations (admittedly, I don’t do backgrounds) like that in three days…

    Well, it could have been a project that was worked on like an hour ever week or something. Or he/she could have done it in the least efficient way ever.

    The end product was cute, regardless.

    It was really good, but missing the “ploooop” sound effect when Mario stomps on something.

    …oh man I’m an ungrateful hardass. :-)

    The article says six weeks.

    I obviously know nothing about animation, but even six weeks seems kind of long for me for an animation like that. Sure, it looks nice and cute, but the guy used just a few static backgrounds and about two dozen cut-outs. Can’t believe it really took _that_ long to put the whole thing together, unless of course he just worked half an hour a day after school/work or so ;)
