I'm sure the Gundam looks cool and everything but those are some horrible pictures with the lighting and backdrop that he chose. really can't see the Gundam and I know its supposed to be stealth but still....
The gundam is look cool, even for the lighting effect, however, the angle of camera are stay still the same for any pose. Try different angle may bring something different that related to the gundam exposure, but i am sure it will be better..
Bad Photography ruins it. A rule in photography, Keep it simple. varying camera angles doesn't make sense, seems like the Gundam is falling off the picture. horrible back drop color. room for improvements.
Lol everyone in here hating is way butthurt because Vanz is "The Man." Dude puts out soooo many well made kits every month, of every year, for several years. His work is obviously excellent and the only reason any of you posers have something to say is because you know damn well you can't put together something half as nice. He's an expert modeler, not a photographer. There are legitimate things to critique but your perception is so low that instead of pointing out constructive criticism, you knock his photography because you don't know what the aspects of proper modeling are. If you did you'd be pointing out real critique If you're going to knock someone, use your real name.
"His work is obviously excellent and the only reason any of you posers have something to say is because you know damn well you can't put together something half as nice."
That's like saying you have to know how to make a movie to rate/critique a movie. You don't need to know how to model well to see what you like and don't like about something. Some commenters said the kit looked nice, but also pointed out the photography work like the following comments. Someone mentioned "room for improvements", and if you think he's absolutely perfect and doesn't need to improve then you're just naive.
From what I can see, if you look past the word choices of some of the commenters about the photography, they're giving their advice and input on how to improve his photography and in extension, his work as a whole. I don't see the problem with listening to advice and improving overall, as opposed to lashing out with childish responses. Aim for the betterment of oneself and try looking at it from the viewers perspective.
A real name has nothing to do with an opinion one has about a model kit. I think it only truly matters if you care who's giving advice, like a good modeler, which would show how closed minded someone can be by not considering what everyone else is saying, including comments made by anonymous people.
Everything you have just said is utterly pointless because you only responded to half of what I said. By only quoting the first part of my comment you've completely disregarded the fact that I said "There are legitimate things to critique but your perception is so low that instead of pointing out constructive criticism, you knock his photography because you don't know what the aspects of proper modeling are." That obviously debunks whatever point you are trying to make about me being naive as I have stated that there IS real critique to be given. Also, you have to consider the large number of people who place a higher value on photography than the model itself, which is clearly what the haters (who are clearly hating on Vanz based on a personal vendetta.) A real name has a lot to do with critique when you hide behind an anonymous tag due to the fact that you do actually know someone but don't want them to know your identity because you live in the same area and know some of the same people.
Lets touch on the topic of critique. My point with people hating on something without proper perception is 100% valid. If they were able to appreciate the model itself and not the photo-shoot then someone would've pointed out the use of stickers and visible decal borders long ago. They however did not do this, and wanted to rag on something, and couldn't even come up with legitimate critique to give so; What better stab to take than photography? If you think someone who looks at professional photos of snap fitted kits in action poses has the ability to determine good modeling simply because they have working eyes, you are sadly mistaken. Lastly, liking or disliking something is highly objective and not constructive at all. For critique to be constructive in any way or form it has to be objective, based on technique, execution, and quality of the end result (smooth finish, consistency, seam removal, detail, application of decals or lack there of, etc.)
Your argument is solid, and points out the mistakes in my comprehension and points.
You make valid points, and helped extend my definition of constructive criticism in regards to modeling with your well written explanation, so I would like to thank you. I believe you meant that liking or disliking something is highly subjective (instead of objective), but I believe I understand the meaning and intentions behind your explanation.
I haven't looked at the issue of using a real name from the viewpoint you mentioned above, and it helped me make sense of your earlier statement.
You've essentially won me over with your argument, so from here on out, it's just my opinion, and not an argument in response to your points.
Personally, I prefer to look at posing,photography and colour choices etc.(what would be called aesthetics I suppose) in addition to the "smooth finish, consistency, seam removal, detail, application of decals or lack there of, etc." that you mention.
In my view, there are the technical skills pertaining to creating and building a kit, as well as the skills to display the work as an art. I think it is worth the time to work on both, because it would be a terrible waste to have a well made kit that wasn't displayed at it's greatest potential.
Yes that is what I meant. Sorry for the typo. And you are right, photography is important to an extent because it is necessary to display the work that you've put into a model.
