Poiuytic Scale
From FanimutationWiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchThe Poiuytic Scale is a way of ranking the complexity of an animutation, taking into consideration the great variety of substyles within this genre — compare The Japanese Pokerap with Wizard Power, for example. It is named for its inventor, Lurch Poiuyt. On an October 2004 post to the Animutation Mailing List, Poiuyt explained it:
- So we now have two extremes...
- -10 = very raw looking
- +10 = very complex looking
- I tend to like the stuff on both ends of this scale.
- This would be a -8, Yatta would be around 0 and CNB would be a +8. (this doesn't have anything to do with humour, it's just the style...)
- Stuff on the positive end tends to take months to complete, while stuff on the negative end can be thrown together in a matter of hours. But this has nothing to do with how much anyone will like the Animutation. A +7 can be made that NO ONE cares for, if it's not funny. A -6 can be made that EVERYONE likes... it depends on the content. Pokerap anybody?
To summarize, the scale is between -10 and +10, rating the complexity of a movie, not the humor. A revised scale might be multidimensional, including factors other than complexity.
