Sam Fennah / FailSafe42 - Atheist furry who dropped out of college; sperged to Bionicle fans about God not existing #SAVEBOB

[Vatred]

When he mentions Disney, he talks about them like they're his equals or inferiors, while in reality, no Disney HR rep would ever allow him a first interview.

That's what gets me, if he really wants a series to go places he shouldn't be badmouthing ANY company in the industry!

As far as I understand it, in the animation industry, ANY job is a good job if it gets your foot in the door. Do what you have to do, get the credits and put it on your resumé so you can apply to other places you actually like more.

Him openly trashing Disney doesn't exactly leave a good impression for other companies. Unless he starts being more polite, I doubt any good studio would hire someone like him if they want to look good and avoid any bad PR.

It's delusional if he thinks he's just magically going to topple a behemoth media conglomerate with his small, independent series. This dude's best chance is to clean up his online presence, keep making art on the side, and start applying to jobs in the industry and getting some credits and potential collaborators.

Not to be licking the mouse's boots, but that's kind of how it works. People move from studio to studio and get work here or there. Word gets around about certain employees. It's fine to have your own opinion about how good one company is over another, but your professional presence should be as friendly and neutral as possible if you want a job.

 

[Muttnik]

God, even with an updated design, Lucy Pacemaker or whatever the fuck her name just looks so repulsive. I wouldn't mind so much if she wasn't the friggin protagonist. It's like if a Lord of the Rings orc or the goddamn Babadook was your main character and you had to look at this repulsive thing on a casual level and feel for it. I'm sorry, but there's no relatability in a design so frighteningly spooky.

 

[NoFeline]

That stamped-on button nose being in such a weird position in relation to the mouth and the basic triangle ears also evoke feelings of disgust.

>tfw you realize current Lucy Lacemaker is a vast improvement over the original version

Personally I think the shitty old one is better, in the fact that it's scarier that furry fapbait in looking like a demented muppet from the puppet dimension, here to corrupt our youth with child-friendly publicly-funded propaganda.

 

[Unexpected Genitals]

His ego is seriously amazing if he thinks that ugly, foul-mouthed OCs are going to win over the general public like the Disney or Pixar characters do. And I don't even LIKE Disney. If he was a little more self aware and not so arrogant, I could see him gathering a small but devoted following, sorta like Hazbin Hotel, but no Sam, you're never going to "topple Disney" with the things you're making currently.

The most Sam has ever gotten to getting a Community going is his Discord, and other minor places, and the only people he can get to work on his projects are close friends who only do voice work, or his GF or another friend who draws. Thats it, its nothing compared to how much production something like Hazbin had.

If he ever wants this to actually take off on a professional level, he should let in more people and open himself up to Criticism, but I doubt thats ever gonna happen

Spoiler: The Token Weeb reviews Satellite City (Season 2) as a consumer;

Spoiler: The story?

I went ahead and gone through the second season he made of satellite city to see if it's possible for people who haven't seen season one can get a catch up for not watching season one. The answer is no. the first two episodes (below) are not only the ones that show any form of a story involved, but do a poor job at establishing a setting. I'm watching this from the perspective of someone who doesn't know these characters backstories. (even though I'm vaguely knowledgeable of a few of their stories)

As a consumer, not being able to give off an idea of what's going generally confusing new audience members. Assuming the first season ended on a cliffhanger, that's a good way to build up hype for a new season. Except When your old videos get buried and are in general lower quality less people are likely to watch them to catch up because of bad quality. Not to mention the time frame between each season is a year and the "story so far" falls out of peoples minds for those who are fans. With all that said, there is no recap of season 1. I start this season without a clue of what's going on, but something is going on. oh and just a side, the vocabulary sounds like a 7th grader who started cussing in their rebellious stage in catholic high school.

Spoiler: Memorable Characters S2

As for season 2, it's mostly just Lucy fucking around. I'm mainly going to look at the episodes where there was some sort of story. Also from characters that are more memorable.

Looking at Lucy she's a very two dimensional character. She's either around fucking with people or bitching because someone told her no. She gives off all these inspirational quotes in the first episode like some philosopher, which is it? A weasel troll with a temper and gore fetish or some enlightened individual? It's impossible to tell.

Ludwig appears as a very vital charterer, even more vital than Lucy. One can almost remove Lucy and it would be fine, alternatively fully flesh out Lucy's personality to be more consistent to improve her being a compliment to Ludwig's very serious demeanor. Ludwig appears to be that guy who just knows everything in the universe and is just waiting for story queues to share it. His personality seems more fleshed out as a form of leader and the type of person who would tell you "do you think I'm playing around?" from being so damn serious.

Then there's Shuck, the wholesome mother fucker. The poor innocent guy that just gets fucked by fate over and over and can't help but feel bad for him. There's not much else to him, I think he's autistic in the kind of pacifist kind of way.

Oh and whoever that guy that Sam plays as it the most unimportant character. Remove him. Remove. Him. The only stories that do any good with authors as characters are ones that are their life stories. Projecting their own personalities on fictional characters would work out better here than inserting himself as himself looking like himself. Even then, he serves no purpose to the story only to pop in ask something stupid then leave.

Mannequin is obviously the bad guy who wants to do bad things. Done, that's all I can tell. What the fuck is the point of a shallow villain? And what the hell was that thing that looked like a soft skinned drake from Final Fantasy X?

Spoiler: Drake / thing compairson

Am I the only one who sees the resemblance here?

I imagine a lot of things said here have been mentioned already, so feel free to ignore this area about the animation

Spoiler: The Animation

Season 2 should have improved animation compared to season 1 and I'm a perfectionist, if there's a dead pixel on a screen I can't stop looking at it as it agitates me to no avail. I'm watching season one while typing this up right now.

Oh my lord, what the fuck. Nothing seemed natural. Every tentacle was moving at all times. Every eye is bouncing left and right constantly.I know people with chronic ADHD who move less. When having a conversation. Every scene I can think of that had any sort of dialogue; those involved moved like NPC's do in Fallout 3 after picking a dialogue option- or like how people move for no reason in Life is Strange and have trouble looking at each other like someone more antisocial than a 60 year old NEET. I've never seen conversations like this at any point in history. At one point I got a bit of motion sickness from just how much motion was pointlessly on the screen. Tentacles were the biggest and most visual nuisance, but going into detail; the eyes- just eyes never stop moving left and right.

Other small animation problems I've seen is the lack of any sort of recoil and too much follow for general motion. Lucy turns her head and her ears are so bouncy that the animators of Senran Kagura would want him to animate for them. When there's any sort of jumping or landing there's no animation that signifies as such. Especially with the smooth skinned drake, it just kinda jumps without bending it's knees a few times and when it lands the skin doesn't warp a little and the knees don't bend slightly to signify any sort of soft landing. This is more noticeable with Quadrupedal animals. This drake thing has three different bones going down from the thigh to make a Z pattern if it was laying down. It's hind legs are set up like a spring- so this bothers me even more.

The problem that gets me the most surprisingly isn't the needless motion and absurd rubber banding of character features. The lip syncing. How does he do the voice implementing? Does he send the video to someone to speak in sync? or does he ask for script reads and just add them in? If you watch any standard YouTube video or stream and there is an audio to visual delay it's noticeable. very noticeable. I had to listen to the second episode for story purposes since Fontanes lip sync is just horrible- it's off and that lack of a lower jaw makes his voice lines just not seem like they're being pronounced like someone without a lower jaw bone would say it. It would have a bit more of a lisp- lock your lower jaw and repeat the last few sentences to see what I mean. The lisp is a bit slight, but it's missing entirely for Fontane.

Then there's the background. I'm not one to hate CGI animation. I think it's a difficult, time consuming and at times expensive to make it look natural and fit in where one decides to put it. Except oh my word, no. The setting here is set in a real life world. Our green and blue planet earth. Oh my god, the stale and realism of the background combined with the bouncy nature of the corps fuckers of his universe just don't blend. If it were up to me I'd find someone to make backdrops for his universe to not compliment how obnoxious the animation is. If the setting looked like it fit the characters a bit more, then the motion sickness tentacle fucker gave off would lessen. Except I imagine he doesn't want to remove himself from the story to make this happen.

Spoiler: Personal thoughts on fennah / TLDR

For real, as Fennah is someone who get expelled from Uni and has the ability to animate THIS on his own? He has talent- it's there. Getting to this level without any sort of financial investment like University is pretty impressive. He needs to be able to take criticism or even take some sort of pointers to get things to look a bit more natural. Some things are blatantly obvious, but the finer details that irk me the most weren't fixed over the course of a year. After going through his older videos I saw that he could actually animate something that looked a bit more natural in the past.

Edit: more emphasis on bit

Spoiler: Archive

Without going into into detail; his story is non-exsistant, only one character has a solid personality, his animation is way more extra and the flow isn't natural.

and while I was on YouTube I went ahead and went through his YouTube community tab and picked up on a couple things, most of he posts there is on his Amino already.
(and I can't save archive files of individual posts)

Sorry Sam, there's no balance here. Your creativity is weighing on the dark end at all times. The only Light element is your skin color in the series and how little relevance his own character is in his "satellite city" episodes.

Awe look at Lucy's high school photo! A young 3.5 million years old! It's almost like he'd be into lolicon if he was making Anime and not Furry pandering animations!

Spoiler: A slight Irk of mine for Fennah's branding...

Something that's bothering me is just how plastered Lucy is on everything revolving around his works. It's the only character he really has put effort into giving an animated personality in the pool of all his characters he has made. Except she doesn't have a solid personality when it comes to actual story. Yes I know, she is his face character, except every other show out there has had some sort of branding of the flag character and supporting characters. In this case though? No. it's all self portraits of "cat in the hat" Lucy.

Young Lucy looks like a meth addict in their mid 40s.

Anyways, his web series like I said before is a god damn mess. The first episode of the series gives you no introduction on who these characters are and how they got there in the first place. If you were to make a book/show about your characters, you have to slowly lead the audience to a small prologue or backstory in order for them to be like “Ok, so that’s how it happened and what’s going down right now” Any decent writer would do this because it’s an important aspect in basic story writing. For god sake, even someone like Onision put introductions in his shit tier books and they were all first drafts with no revisions. Sam, for whatever reason, doesn't do that and throws everything in one giant confusing blob at you. You can’t get enough time to understand what happening because it’s only 1:41. The only way you can actually know what’s going on is by him throwing you his website link or the wikia.

Suprisingly enough, season 1 is better laid out than Season 2. Season 2 was an absolute mess. Season one doesn't explain anything going, as you said, but it at least has some form of linear story to it. Except it's displayed in a way of "so this happened" "oh and then this happened!" kind of like how you would tell a friend a story with general strokes instead of painting a picture of the landscape and how people held themselfs. If it's so desired I can do a detailed review on Season 1. Don't get me wrong, season 1 sucks, except it's better than season 2 by miles (and those out of the US, kilometers).

To put it simply, season one was about 20min of vague posting.

Big eyed bob was oddly cute though.

Geez. Somebody asked earlier if Sam can animate a run cycle?
Well this answers it, he can't, or at least he couldn't.
He tries his best to keep the camera above the legs for Tracer but didn't with Reaper, and you can see (15-18 second mark) the legs are pretty much flapping around without any weight or posture.
Skipping the basic fundamentals of animation didn't do him any favors, clearly.

What bothers me the most about Reaper's run cycle is how spread out his legs are. It looks like a cooked chicken tried to take its first steps with that posture. Least he could have done was to animate it in side view and work from there.

The rest of the animation is equally floaty and poorly timed. Something tells me he couldn't take the criticism his teachers were giving him and lashed out about hos "Super good" he is, hence the expulsion.

Yikes, I never even noticed the Reaper legs until you mentioned it. I know he runs in the game with quite a gap between his legs but not where his thigh is being consumed by his hips like that. Tracer looks better than what I saw in most of season 2 of Satellite city and he did that in 2016.

Here's another old animation from 2016. It makes me wonder what his goals on what his channel was going to be before he decided to do this animation work he does now.

Is it me, or are Bob's fins just Lucy's cravat?

Compare Judy's constant motion in the review to how the character moves in Zootopia. Untrained animators like Fennah make the cardinal mistake of trying to bring characters to life by having them constantly move and fidget, while those horrible, horrible Disney animators have their characters stand still and sway with subtle breaths.

I forget where I heard this in regards to animation and film-making, but realistically a body is never truly static; there's always subtle movements going on even when the body appears completely at rest. The keyword here is subtle though; this Fennah fag strikes me as hearing that piece of information and figuring a character needs to be gesticulating histrionically at every second in order to appear alive.

The characters' overly complex designs are obvious over-compensations for the fact that they move and behave like lifeless husks puppeteered by a Parkinson's patient. Their mouths in particular flap without enunciation like sock puppets; if you mute the audio of that Smashmouth abomination and try to get a sense of what the lyrics are from bootleg Black Philip's mouth movements alone, it's nearly impossible. The lifelessness really becomes apparent in the Judy Hopps video especially; she's completely devoid of personality and charm.

Fennah's version of Judy comes off very bootleg. Like, Grandma got confused and picked up a copy of "Wootopia" from the dollar store kind of bootleg.

Man its like he killed Judy and stuffed her and is having someone with Carpel Tunnel syndrome puppet her lifeless corpse while trying to act "Smug" and "Professional" in his stupid hat

I know this isn’t related to the current topic, but what the fuck is all over his desk?

Why are there rocks on his desk? It’s like he pushed all his mess to a corner to make his workplace look presentable for filming. It’s grossing me out just by looking at it.

I like how the border to the monitor is more reflective than the actual screen, which is covered in his oily fingerprints.

This thread is really fucking depressing. I really enjoyed Fennah's animations but deliberately avoided his social media or getting involved with his fan group, so I managed to come away with the impression he was a talented amateur with a few weird kinks doing this shit in his free time. It turns out instead that he's an ego maniacal twat who thinks he can topple Disney.

Sometimes I really hate the Farms and its drive to destroy innocence.
