True. It really makes me wonder which of the calibrations for Seaon 9A is closer to the original animation (In other words, closer to the colors they used to animate these episodes). Do you think that the non-USA transfers are more color accurate, or the USA ones?spongebranch said:
Pretty sure the one on the top was drawn by Carson Kugler ,while the bottom one was drawn either by Sherm Cohen or Erik WieseAnyone notice how the art style changes for a few seconds in Welcome to the Chumbucket:
The non-USA transfers are more color accurate. Just saw SpongeBob You're Fired air last night and the color calibration was so bad that even the HD widescreen intro had grayish whites.LARRY22 said:

Okay, I can do that. Has anyone ever noticed how bad the rainbow artifact is on the door in the opening sequence of Courage the Cowardly Dog? Weirdly enough, some episodes it's not even there, but when it IS there, it's so noticeable it's almost distracting from what's actually going on. I apologize in advance for the crappy quality screenshot. This episode was recorded through the TV mode on Windows Media Center. lolOriginal Raw and Uncut said:

Looks to me like cel animation.Original Raw and Uncut said:Yeah, the VHS effect is pretty distracting. A few courage episodes have over saturated colors too.
Here's something I've noticed about the first few episodes of Season 3 of Dexter's Lab. The coloring is extremely dull, the dot crawl distorts the picture so bad, it's hard to tell what animation technique was used to make the episodes. The VHS effect is atrocious in the episode "Copping an Attidue/A Failed Lab Expeirement/The Granddaddy of all Invetions. Does anyone think that the first few episodes of the third season may have been cel animated only with more touch ups than seasons one and two, or are my eyes playing tricks on me. What do you guys think. Or is it because of the bad VHS effect. Early-00's Rugrats also has VHS effect episodes that look so bad, I can't differentiate the difference between cel and digital. Anyways, the color scheme in the first few Savino episodes of Dexter's Lab have a color scheme similar to season 1 of Spongebob, although they lack the same visual artifacts that were visible in Genndy's version of the show. These aired in 2001 by the way. I was watching the episode "The Granddaddy of All Inventions", and I couldn't help but to notice that VHS effect was so bad, it was indistinguishable to the cel animated movie Ego Trip. Here are some screenshots from the episode, and you'll see what I mean when I say it's hard to tell whether or not this is digital or cel:
What do you guys think, was this cel, or digital?
It's digital ink and paint. The art is the same as every other season 3-4 episode, the only difference is the dull color. animation. These early season 3 episodes, although have dull paint-like coloring, are still animated by electronic means. The outlines in these episodes are straight and geometrical, rather than being wobbly and having the same thickness. Each line having an equal level of thickness can only be achieved through cel animation. They also lack the cel shadows wobbliness that is present in S1-S2 and Ego Trip. The reason why these episodes look very dull is because they're bad copies. The international prints for Dexter's Lab lack the VHS effect, making the episodes look the way they're animated. Same goes for the first two seasons of the Venture Bros, they look cel animated because they have bad prints, but they're digitally animated. Also the same case with the show Clone High, which uses digital ink and paint, but the broadcast versions look cel animated.ThatSkynyrdKid70 said:
