    Okay so… I randomly made this video one day as a little project for personal uses, not expecting it to get as much attention as it does now😅. Which is also why there isn’t a wide variety of shows shown here, as it mainly just includes ones that I personally watch (not to mention the transitions are kinda trash). But I really appreciate everyone’s suggestions and recommendations! I plan on making a renewed, updated version of this compilation to upload soon - in which case, I might end up taking this one down

    • @cosmicwooloo
      @cosmicwooloo 3 года назад +28

      The animation was done by an actual animator. For context, the show and many other animated shows in the US are animated in South Korea. They animate whatever is on the storyboard, so if the storyboard looks bad then they animate it to reflect the bad storyboard content. Hence why it is important to actually hire good storyboard artists to do so. No one on the Steven universe crew is a good storyboard artist which can be seen when the characters height change for no real reason or things just look bad, like the fight scenes.

      Yes! Every battle and significant moment has the framerate jump up from maybe 12 fps to 24. I believe that that's how they do it, similar to how into the spider verse achieved the same effect. They always try to make the big fights look best and it SHOWS.

When she's spinning her staff you can actually see her doing proper manipulation of it with her fingers to make it spin!! Often when spinning a staff in animation it'll just completely blur it, and it's the only case I've seen where a character is spinning a staff with just their hands, not arms, and it actually shows it!!

      I blame Rough Draft for that. The storyboarders were allowed to be expressive when drawing for Steven Universe, but while Sunmin Animation was really good at adapting the expressiveness in a way that shined in the final product, Rough Draft pretty much copied the style of the drawing exactly, which would sometimes look off if the storyboarder didn't have a style that was conducive to animation (on top of their usual habit of taking lots and lots of shortcuts).

    The dance from enchanting from fright is the smoothest animation I’ve seen in a long time. Toh in general just has some really clean animation. I’d also consider most of these more smooth animation than just good. Good is to broad of a term for animation as a whole. What some people consider good could be bad for other people. There are too many factors and aspects of animation to categorize certain ones as good. It’s all about preference in the end. All this said this was still an awesome video that showcased some amazing work from the great animators of this generation.
