“The Boondocks” — Ballin’
Mad Skilz.
Hey animation fans, head over to AdultSwim.com and check out this week’s episode of The Boondocks* as it might have been visually their most impressive episode to date. In addition to a ton of amazing action sequences (that find a way to be simultaneously active and static), it seems like effort has really been put into facial expressions. I’d have to go back and watch other episodes to be sure, but it certainly felt like the frame was unusually tight on each of the characters’ faces this week, to great artistic effect.
And of course the content was strong as usual, especially the opening sequence at the NBA All-Star Game and the announcer at each of the little league games.
Technically, I’m still encouraging everyone to boycott network-sponsored episode-streaming until the writers strike is over, but I don’t think it affects animation (semantics, I suppose).
