a little harsh sss-

this is an inventive project

simple and honest

i like seeing studios doing things outside of the client realm

and trollback is one of the best.

I like these short pieces, they are great and humble… it’s good to run sometimes without trying to beat a new olympic record.

It’s great that Trollback invested in an in-house project. The quality level was a mixed bag. Some were really fun, as discussed above. Some of the others were of student reel calibre. It might have something to do with who had more time to work on it.

Ultimately, extracurriculars like this and PSST! are what the mograph community gets jacked up on. I feel jacked up….and it has nothing to do with my ongoing steroid abuse issue that I’m not supposed to discuss on internet forums.

Simon you’re definitely exaggerating. If you’re referring to Royales piece the criticism is justified and has nothing to do with hating. If you have been victim of criticism yourself once well that’s life i guess just please don’t blame it on haters and hate all the time just because they don’t agree with you or your strong desire for harmony no matter the content.

In this case here i agree it’s not so fair to bash Trollback since it’s non-commercial pieces done by individuals with different talents. And i don’t think they’re bad at all as mentioned in my comment on top of this section.

Anna’s is great – a nice human connection. everything else is kind of lazy. Not great from a studio that i once admired. I heard they lost some of the star players.

It’s great to see that studios are harnessing the raw creativity of their employees when times are slow… we all have dry spells, it’s part of the business. During those times you have to keep your employees motivated somehow, otherwise you risk that they might leave.

Here’s to Trollbacks’ comebacks. They deserve to be back in the a-list again one day; we in Istanbul look forward to seeing something new from them!

Judging by the current slew of hating and posturing on these comments boards, I think it’s fair to say the lunatics are taking over the asylum.

Voice of reason = Trollback should be applauded for going out on a limb and encouraging pro-bono work from it’s employees. An interesting concept, has been executed with varying levels of originality and flair. My favourites are the stop-mo beach spot and the falling asleep type on hand spot. But that’s just my opinion though. Well done Trollback, from Simon (A non-hater)…
