Aw man :( I love James Jean, he's my favorite artist ever. But his film thing (he was just the concept artist) is horrible, they totally bastardized his work with poor animation and modeling and texturing. It looks like a bad gradfilm. WHY!! How can you make such gorgeous work look WRONG?! *cries*

His conceptart:

The film....ugh:

*click on trembled blossoms.

Anyways, just my opinion.

Ugh you're right! Then again this is a fashion thing, so blame the overall sucky quality on that. The pretense of it all makes me weep.

If I had just one wish...it would be a tasty fish.
his artwork is really gorgeous, but omfg the movie D:
they really should have tried to make it look like his drawings TT_TT when I look at them I am so much more inspired in terms of movement and atmosphere than by the actual film.
I feel like they just used that 3D-celshade look as an easy way out (though I'm sure it could work if pulled through right...) they didn't understand any of the subtleties that make his work beautiful. (the colors an her *legs*... ugh)
hm, i see your point. It´s kind of disturbing seeing some clipping errors in an production from an highclass company like Prada, but what me personally really hurts is that all of James Jeans fluid movement in his artwork is totally gone in this animation. Man, it looks so terribly stiff.
And yeah, the models look terrible and move terrible :/
It seems like 3D still has a long way to go :/
You'd think with all the money Prada makes they could of done a better job. Then again their market isn't primarily artists. I would be upset if I was him.

The first 5 seconds are fine. Then the girl shows up and it's like... Oh my god no. It was really bad, but I do adore the concept art for sure...

Weird...the beginning is pretty decent, but that girl has a serious case of Uncanny Valley D:

I'm surprised Prada is responsible for this, or would agree to put their name on it...you're right, though, the concept art is really nice.

Ну-ка, от винта!
my word exactly. did you see the way her joints bent? actually, it looked as if she had no joints.


WHYYYY, WHY did they ruin this perfect concept art?! :cry:

OH NO THEY DIDN'T!

Poor weighting (is that shit just on default settings????), terrible animation, numerous crashes in the geo and the modeling is HORRID. W.T.F.?!

My condolences to James Jean.

I am very upset.
Thats the thing though, if they actually got people who knew WTF they were doing *pixar, blurr....psyop or something* then it would be GORGEOUS. Ughhh. What a wasted opportunity.
not usual the one goin against the grain, but i actually liked it. there were a few points that surely needed more work, and overall the movie should have gotten sum fine tuning, but the style and direction was appreciated
