    Too bad cel animation is obsolete for today's standard of animation. Let's not forget that _Ed, Edd, n Eddy_ is the last cartoon to use cel before transitioned into digital ink-and-paint. Times have change when it comes to digital drawings but at least there are some people, like you, can managed to bring cel animation back, even if it's not popular as it used to. What a mad respect!

      There was a Japanese cartoon still using cels until 2013.

      @Mr. Will Yeah, I know all about that, and I believe the 2013 episodes are on RUclips, if you wanna see the last of cel animation on TV. I also think King of the Hill was a contender for the final cel animated American TV show with Rich Hank, Poor Hank airing in 2004.

    I want hand-painted cel animation to come back. We all do. Not because of nostalgia, that is because they are made by people who can draw and paint. Cels and backgrounds are art pieces that when they are better preserved, there is value to them. If it's time consuming to do this, even doing 30 frames a second or anything that can be considered an upgrade, that's why they should hire more people. Maybe 100-500 people to do a 30 frame a second, 10 minute video? Had traditional animation continued, there would have been a cost and time effective way to do this by now.

    Now THIS is how animation was done for years. No computers (even though you used premiere and a scanner), no fancy software like flash or ToonBoom. Just frames authentically drawn and painted by hand. Yes computers make things more convenient, but it will never come close to traditional animation. You're doing God's work my dude 🤩👍

    That background music you have there sounds like I'm watching an old VHS tape From like some sort of employment office, or job you know where they kind of sit you for an interview and they make you watch these old videos of how to properly work and safety concern stuff and then the same videos have music that sounds almost like this it's so old fashioned. But it's also nostalgic feeling And a good sign that you're getting old and becoming one of those dinosaurs people. But you were able to just pop it in there without a second thought goes to show how young you really are. However Because this is a tutorial it pretty much fits the narrative of it this is the type of music you will hear in tutorials anyways or music meant for it! It's just Feels like it got to sound old fashioned and daunting.

    this is a cool technique, it looks pretty much indistinguishable from "proper" cel animation (and you are still actually painting cels) but it's much easier because you do all the compositing digitally and don't have to worry about getting the camera set up right. i've done a similar technique where instead of tracing the drawings in ink onto cels i traced them in ink directly on the paper and colored them with markers. after scanning the papers i would remove the white backgrounds with the magic wand tool and then layer them in my video editor just like you did. it creates a very different look because instead of the muted colors and the separation of layers you get the grain from the paper and the marker coloring. your method looks awesome though and i'll definitely have to pick up some overhead projector sheets and try it out sometime
