Has any of you visited a Disney park in the last five months? The new SW figures are ubiquitous. My five-year-old niece knew their names before she'd seen the mvoie.

I saw a little girl dressed as Leia at Safeway the other day, just shopping with her mom like it was her normal daily outfit.

I daresay the guy who did it will get some cool work as a result of it. I'm guessing Adam can't say the same for his contributions to ilx.
― it's getting ott in here / so take off all your clothes (stevie), Thursday, 26 May 2016 11:33 (eight years ago) link
actually i've gotten some good work from ilx. some music videos. some songs. some cool stuff.
this is sort of cute, i will give it that, but visually dull. and i'm pretty sure competition for art & design work at Disney is tough and most portfolios would take a crap all over this.

this should be filed this under Baconing of Minimalism.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 26 May 2016 21:29 (eight years ago) link
also tbh i feel like the standard for being above criticism on ILX has to be something higher than "the creator will probably get some good work from it." people get all kinds of work out of viral-ready mediocrity all the time. not everything that takes a long time to do is all that great.

I think the standard for criticism should be higher than "that took a lot of time." Smacks of "that guy had too much free time, right?"
― schwantz, Thursday, 26 May 2016 22:02 (eight years ago) link
Yeah okay, that's fair. I think I sort of inserted some words from my own reaction to the piece, which was that it was taking me an inordinately long time to consume and yet without producing any kind of joy or critical insight or anything so that I suddenly went "why am I still clicking forward in this?"
― bucyrus ohio, vus cun nus en l’aria (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 26 May 2016 22:06 (eight years ago) link
Yeah. Movie-converted-to-flowchart, while impressive, is not the most exciting medium.

What mental process led you from "will probably get some work" to "will get hired by Disney?" Serious question, can you read?

How about this: it took someone a whole lot of time to produce something that's kinda neat but ultimately really boring, and which 99.99% of people will never finish beyond the first few scrolls.

I might like the infographic concept more if it were applied to a different movie. Star Wars is so trampled at this point that things like this stop being impressive.

or like... across the top it could say "CHEWBACON SAYS..." and across the bottom it could say "LET THE BACON WIN." i dunno just spitballing here, don't spend too much time on it.
