Yogi Bear Alternative Ending Creates A 'Squiffy' Fair Use Question
from the not-your-average-parody dept
A bunch of folks have been sending in this viral video of an "alternate ending" to the new Yogi Bear movie. It's what you might call a... much "darker" ending, based on the The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Don't watch this if you don't like bear-on-bear violence.Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

I love it!
Let's hope Warner has a sense of humor, albeit a little one...

I mean, I didn't even know you were married until you posted about the old chick's cleavage today, which was weird, but yeah...

I went for a cheap gag, but clearly the force is with you.

Doesn't Everyone Know...
Studios are not known for their sense of humor, so I'm betting that this will get the old take-down notice, regardless of whether it's fair use or not. As far as the studios are concerned, it's better to act first, then forget about apologizing later.

ARE YOU ALL BLIND?
It is hilarious, but to believe that this wasn't planned exposure to amp up the promotions for the movie is silly. Peace

Not that they couldn't have intentionally used cheap fur, but that seems like a strange choice for obfuscation.
Plus it diminishes Edmund Earle's accomplishment here to suggest he's faking responsibility for the interests of some studio.

Render time on a home PC using Mental Ray would be a few weeks on a home PC but thats about it.

Yes, the fir looks out of the box, other parts of the animation could also be done a number of cheep ways (there are tons of pree-made buildings for 3d studio max for example.)

Of course Yafray, Indigo and others can be used.
Also there is this guy on YouTube making 3D models of all old cartoons.

Space Ghost
Herculoids
Penelope PitStop
Captain Caveman And The Teen Angels
Those are just a few he made.
Somebody should make a P2P renderfarm, we could have much more animations coming out from the amateur side of things :)
