The opening intro for V4 really wasn't choreographed well.


Yeah, definitely my least favorite intro compared to previous seasons.

Whoever cut this OP really needs to learn how to fucking use transitions.

This utter failure to do so, plus the sketchy pacing and timing, makes things the bits that could've been alright (Yang and the Frighteningly Fabulous Faunus Fogies) total dogshit (look man, seeing them come out of nowhere like that isn't hype) and the dogshit things (whatever the animation for that Adam v Blake abomination was, as well as the jerky movements of the models from time time) even worse.

You gotta draw attention away from your flaws man.

Look at OP2, you can't really pay attention to any flaws because it's timed and paced pretty well, and the transitions can be pretty fucking great (Ruby dropping from the sky -> Ozpin's office), and overall it's pretty hype-inducing. This OP4? Look man, you're supposed to get people ready to watch the episode.

The pacing is fucking horrible. Someone needs to learn fucking transitions.

But mostly, they need to know what an opening animation is fuckiing for.

I think the fourth RWBY OP tried to use transitions that don't translate too well into 3D. Fast-paced transitions worked really well in the previous openings!

@Prince of Seraphs@Lazo

I sketched two HoB characters: Sand and Sapphire (again).



I would imagine it has more to do with my failure to give a description of Sapphire beyond generals but the Sand drawing looks more like I imagined Sapphire than the actual Sapphire sketch does.

Fast-paced? OP4 would've been a bit better if they had actually gone fast-paced. And they're in general just, horrible.

[3:09:38 PM] Kiki: and like, the transitions in op 2 aren't just well done in a technical sense, but in the flow of ideas and changes in setting too
[3:10:01 PM] Kiki: the fucking wipe from team rnjr to qrow is so stupid
[3:10:11 PM] Kiki: cos the camera is obviously above the treeline
[3:10:23 PM] Kiki: and some random black bar just swoops the screen
[3:10:46 PM] Chinese Tyler St. Francis: why would you use a /black bar/
[3:11:01 PM] Kiki: i think it was meant to resemble the trees but like
[3:12:01 PM] Kiki: like i said before, skyline, and the lighting on the trees makes the trunks not black at all
[3:12:08 PM] Kiki: it's just so poorly done
[3:12:09 PM] Kiki: jfc

I just watched it. I think the real problem is that literally nothing is happening. It transitions from character to character to character and until the last like twenty seconds they are all either standing still or walking. And the like three action shots at the end looked kind of slow and clunky.

You can get some good stuff out of people not actively fighting. Set up character dynamics, give a feel to their personality, yadda yadda, but when you just slapdash throw them onto the screen, don't even bother with linking them properly to the song, and then have shitty animation as a whole that you can't even hide, then yeah it goes to shit.

I thought the trailer wasn't that bad...

but then I thought about it, and yeah, it's kinda janky. It seems more like a character showreel. The two best parts, imo, are the RNJR fight with the Beowulves at the end, and Weiss's little pirouette and giant glyph thing.

The rest was awkwardly-paced.

I will say that I enjoyed the first episode. A few moments where the flow seemed to break down, but overall I think it was a good fucking episode.

What's the significance of the hat? Both openings look the exact same with the exception of the hat.

I always drew Sand that way for the past few months now... But then again those particular ones went unnoticed, I guess >.>

I'm not sure how to draw Sapphire without making her hair resemble someone else's too much x-x I just knew that Sapphire's hair wasn't super short or long aside from a few tidbits you helped me out with. I'll continue to test with more hairstyles that are unique unless there's a solid image I could work off of!

Alternatively, they could make it hype in a different way

@harinezumikouken, new plan: Gren and Shiro devise a plan to not only get Sangue a new arm, but some new armor too. And turning Vale into a lawless wasteland too.

I for one welcome our Apocalyptic War General.

Immorten Sangue looks pretty cool and frightening. I'd definitely follow her to Valhalla if she ordered me to.

She'd probably put her men above her own safety! She'd just be rougher around the edges
