Thanks for putting this article together. I've assessed the article as 'Start' class, because there is enough self-explanatory content to define the subject and there are quite a few secondary citations.

Some thoughts I have as a starter if you are looking to expand on the article:

The article's content is predominantly framed by Nintendo's acquisition of Dynamo Pictures, so the article is a little lacking in terms of background. There are no citations provided for information about the former Dynamo Pictures.

There is not a lot of clarification on what is meant by "visual content" and "CGs" in terms of what the studio does. It may help to provide more detail on how NPC / Dynamo have contributed to prior studio animation projects, and link in-text to relevant terms.

A table might be a more direct and informative way of conveying which projects Dynamo Pictures has worked on in the past, for instance, separated by year, film title, and services provided, rather than a paragraph list and a generic statement that they have "overall work for many different...products over the years".

I hope this helps in terms of directions to flesh out the article. Let me know if you are having any issues finding sources and I can help look into it. Thanks! Vrxces (talk) 06:50, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's been over a year, but I managed to sit down and spend the day putting together what should be a mostly comprehensive list of everything Dynamo Pictures has done in film, TV, and gaming. Used the JP version of the article as a base, then went back further to include stuff they did before they became an independent studio that isn't on there, but can be found on other sites like MobyGames. The JP version of the page touches upon some of the pre-2011 credits, but never actually mentions Visual Science Laboratory (the studio Dynamo spun off from), which I find interesting.

In any case, I think this article is finally worth a damn now. Might go in one day to squeeze in some of the things they did in the "amusement" sector, but that would take far more research than I'm willing to do at the moment. Putting together this list already took an entire day of fooling around with Google Translate. UBracter (talk) 23:48, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How come there was no article talking about Dynamo Pictures until 2022?

I don't really get it. How come Dynamo Pictures didn't even have a darn Wikipedia page talking about it until then? 2A02:8011:D017:91D:E4E4:4D57:B023:358A (talk) 08:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
