Moviestorm vs. Poser

[rgann8]

Although Moviestorm isn’t as good as PoserPro, I can’t understand why some praise Poser and refuse to watch a Moviestorm video. On one web site I even posted one of Moviestorm’s best (the girl on the tightrope) and couldn’t get a comment as to what’s wrong with it or did anyone like it.

I posted a documentary made with Moviestorm (no puppets) and it was well received on that web site. The puppet ones are rarely viewed and the comments are mostly, “I should try Maya or Poser.”

I like Moviestorm and the results, but I hate spending months to make a movie that only I could sit through.

The following received high praise on that web site. (I suggest fast forwarding through the first half).

I think one person watched mine and no comment. The second video. (Here it got about 20 views.)

I could be wrong, but I guess it's his animation that makes his worth watching.

Opinions?

I think there's a certain mindset which I define as 'render snobbery', the same kind of mindset which would say 'any film made in black and white can't be any good'.
Also, there are a lot of people who see watching film as more to do with belonging to a group and sharing a group opinion than about enjoying the story.
You need encouragement along the way and battling with render snobs is depressing...and are they the people you really want to like your movie?

Your film has some issues rgann8, but these are things that can be improved, whereas the santa movie is as polished as it is going to get.

I hope you stick around and try again. Number of views is not necessarily a good arbiter of quality. I'd like to see what you could make with more practice, but I am a lot less interested in what the director of the santa movie is likely to make (though it would probably appeal to young men / boys?)
