I love how much effort he put into the acting and even costuming lmao. It might have looked a bit goofy by itself, but it sure paid off well for the game!
Bro got springlocked at 1:50 D: But no seriously, the tracing from a human reference is what made the game so terifying I feel- besides the amazing atmosphere and build up! Amazing
one of my favorite rotoscopes in the entire game would probably be the possessed convulsing father john and father john looking behind him to see the demon. watching the rotoscopes next to the OG clips feels so satisfying
Damn, the gunshot part looks amazing! He really acted pretty nice there, i love how you can clearly see his arms go limp after the first shot in the head, when you're acting these types of scenes you need to keep a track on everything your body is doing to make it look natural and believable, Airdorf did a great job!
Really impressive. This game did a fantastic job of minimalist horror and the unnerving fluidity of rotoscoping for these cut scenes stood out tremendously against the rigid Atari-esque sprites. I seriously appreciate the work that went into showcasing such creativity!
I imagine it would've been easier to just trace the actual collar part instead of adding it in-post and struggling to keep it aligned with the neck, whereas Amy's hair could be added in post easily as long as you can imagine how that hair would realistically move. In the shot where Airdorf/Amy removes the cloth from their heads, I think he even traced over the bits of hair that were lifted up from his own head after pulling it off, so that's about as close to accurately tracing his hair for Amy as you'll get.
What makes Faith so good, is that it feels like it belongs to the 1990s...and yet you know if it did, it would be as popular as the retro classics. It feels like a masterpiece that just didn't happen in the correct point of time.
I love how he transitions from looking like he’s reluctantly there for a paycheck to making sure he’s earned every penny by transforming into something else entirely, and then back. What a professional.
Real footage of me getting references for animations / drawings. For real though, every artist out there has to give this a try. If you're stuck on something and can't find the perfect reference just say fuck it and make yourself the reference.
The standing up and casually walking away parts are so relatable lol. The concept of filming your own reference videos is always awkward but so worth it for these great animations!!
I love it when people find creative ways to make assets for there game, like in dead cells: pixelated 3d models, or in doom, where they photoscanned in real life toys and clay models
I'm from MI and a local Post-Rock band used some footage from clips of your game in their backing video and it was so greatly used and I think I was the only one in the crowd who knew what they were from. Great work. This game is one of my favorites.
I think to think that Amy at 0:22 just walked in from the side like he does in the video and hid under the bed right before pulling herself up and John was just really confused the whole time.
Just by going off of these scenarios, It tells a story of a demon waking up, tormenting a young priest, eventually possessing him, making him see visions, ending in him getting killed
Watching the creator of Faith menacingly hold a crayon like he is gonna stab me with it is so funny to me.
pretty sure that’s a sharpie, but I love this man lol :)
I mean he stabs himself in the eye with it
mate that’s a pencil

I love how goofy it looks on its own but with context it's very VERY creepy
That's just me dying for a while because saying something cringe then just got back to normal
idk I think I would still feel very creeped out if my buddy started contorting like that while standing up 😱
That might be my favorite one out of the whole video
it kind of reminds me of the fungus zombies in the last of us
i love how he finishes the motion and then falls back to default idle
Same
even if youre not rotoscoping, acting something out and using it as a reference is good practice for any animator
on video - airdorf games, not me
It's from the games files
That's true. I act all the scenes I animate and it helps me achieve a good flow of battle and interactions
Even just regular drawing too- I have so many random pictures of myself to use a pose references lmao
No, that’s cheating
0:44 i love how he absolutly didnt have to wear a costume but he still did
I mean it could just be get the collar placement just right
Having the costume helps him move in the natural way the clothes designed it to, making the source material that slightly more realistic
@@emilemerian3740and also so that he can just trace it instead of drawing it himself

i always admire people who can do their own references for animations. ill be home alone and get too embarrassed to do it 😭
I think that's a sign of you being paranoid.
(I myself I'm paranoid)
its a highly reccomended thing to do when you are an animator yourself
Nobody looks at it, and you can change end result in any way, don't be embarrased, most people will not feel crigy about it.

Rotoscoping is bloody fire. It really gives animation these subtle motions and realistic sense of weight, it's so good.

Its funny how one of them got into costume for some of john’s rotoscoping, but they didn’t use a wig for amy’s hair

Would it be possible to do rotoscoping on an old console like that?
@subzu2733 From what I remember, a chunk of old games used rotoscoping for cutscenes. Take 1992 Mortal Kombat, for example.
@Lambent_Omega oh i didn't know that, thats pretty cool
It feels like a game I would have played on my family's old Atari, it's such a unique game!
The 90s??? Lol You must be young. This game is using Atari aesthetics which would be the late 70s early 80s.
He always looks like he's JUST ABOUT to start an epic 2000s krumping battle, then he just goes back to chill. Perfect game acting.
He even looks like John himself.

2:00 M O R T I S
I knew all of those scenes were rotoscoped but I had no clue id ever see the actual videos that were used for the process
1:08 while watching this video just noticed that the sound that gary makes sounds like "hi john" or its just me
Not just you bro
I kinda hear it too
Although I don't think that's the intention
It does, but it’s very muffled
*_This is surely worthy of filmography._*
*_The behind-the-scenes is very interesting in every horror game._*
i like that hes in regular clothes for everything and then gets all fancy to be a priest.
Me when I have the highlighter key: 1:33
This looks like it would be fun to do
when artist couldn't find the perfect pose to draw so they became their own model

kinda love how he just stops acting immediately after every clip and just calmly walks away
damn he kinda fine tho
I love how he even did the whole priest outfit for john 😭
0:50 IRL john
1:53 What my mind will think would happen when I step through the metal detector:
0:42 "a gun with one bullet."
its crazy how fucking drippy the guy is, his grandma def calls him a handsome young lad
the awkwardness when the cutscene ends and hes just moving around
Whats so funny is he walks off like nothing happened
1:02 kinda look like mr beast when he was young
give this man an oscar now
Watching him do this WILD choreography and contort his body only to walk off screen with a completely straight face is too mcuh for me, it's so funny
this is like fighting off your intrusive thoughts
I love it when people find creative ways to make assets for there game, like in dead cells: pixelated 3d models, or in doom, where they photoscanned in real life toys and clay models
DUDE IMAGINE ACTUALLY JAMMING A KEY INTO YOUR EYE THAT WOULD HURT SO BAD
The willpower to use yourself as the reference is amazing because whenever i try to do that with my art, i just feel too goofy and cant do it haha
me waiting for him to do “ a gun with one bullet “ and “ don’t be afraid john “
this is what art is! process and progress piece by piece... love seeing these bits of production fr
1:33 I love this part
Imagine if he had a roommate like “hey I’m home now- wtf are you doing?”
1:06 i love how they have exactly the same hairstyle
Seeing the actual reference is something i didn't need until now, i love dev stuff like this
Imagine if he'd stab his own eye with the key
I would guess he let the prop slip from his hand as to not stab his actual eye, but yeah.
POV: you’re watching John Ward trip something fierce
0:12 when I wake up in the morning
when he does the key animation i thought he was bout to shove that crayon up his eyes

I’m glad other people have the same awkward walk to the camera after doing the movement 😭😭 I always feel so silly turning of the video afterwards
This Is why we all like faith, these animations are really hand-made

The way he just threateningly holds the crayon 😭😭
I love how he does it so well and so menacingly and then it's just. "OK done back to the grind"
I mean he had to rotoscope it somehow
Is that the actual guy?
Possibly. The animations are rotorscoped.
yep, that's airdorf himself
i love the audio as well when the animation comes up. great job ✨
Just by going off of these scenarios, It tells a story of a demon waking up, tormenting a young priest, eventually possessing him, making him see visions, ending in him getting killed
