I intend to make a stop-motion inspired CGI series in the future and the animations I’m making right now are also inspired by the process (my channel used to focus on LEGO videos before I switched to Blender). I was so happy when I saw the Guillermo Del Toro Pinocchio in this and even more so upon learning the whole video would be about techniques used in the film.
With regards to the character kicking the bottle etc, there's a term coined form the making of Who Framed Roger Rabbit called 'Bumping the Lamp' - "Partly through the film, there’s a scene where Eddie Valiant takes Roger into the back room of a bar, to cut off a pair of handcuffs that was linking them together. During this scene, Eddie bumps into a hanging lamp, which then swings back and forth for the duration of the scene, casting constantly moving shadows across the room and the characters. Animators of the scene performed an excruciating amount of effort to match up the real shadows in the room with animated shadows cast on (and from) Roger. This extra effort to make the scene just a little bit more memorable was termed “Bumping the Lamp” by Disney employees working on the film."
Can you make a video on skinning a character? Specifically, "vertex skinning;" selecting a group of vertexes and assigning weights to bones. 1. How to select vertex apply a 60% weight to one bone and 40% to another bone. 2. Then locking the weights to the bones so nothing can adjust those percentage weights on the locked bones.
It's not that complicated to get into and start animating. But it's a lifetime learning process to become very good at it. ;) You don't need years of xp to start making cool things tho. You will need patience, dedication and observation. And... Don't ever EVER try to animate a full character at fist. There are some crucial reasons behind learning the bouncing ball... Take this as a professional advise. Don't rush the first steps :D
on your topic of "animate the ordinary" I totally agree on this because when i was watching "the bad guys" I disliked the animation of the cop character because thought her animation was too exaggerated and was too cheesy for me. edit: one animation I really liked from her was when she was shifting through keys, which leads back to the to topic of "animate the ordinary"
Agree too about "animate the ordinary". If I have to illustrate this quote, I would choose a film of Miyazaki, and that would be Ponyo. So so much things are ordinary (except "a fish with hair who is transformed into a girl and runs on giant fish waves. The waves are her sisters escaped from a submarin with flippers..." 😅). I watched this film over 10 or 15 times, and I always find some ordinary details or mistakes that add absolutly nothing to the story but add a pleasant something extra! It's like a mediation led by a simple story served up by great animation. I've been seeing one Miyazaki film a week for almost 10 years now. And Ponyo is, by far, my best choice to illustrate "Animate the ordinary". Other films by Mayazaki, and Ghibli in general, are ok in this purpose, but not as good as Ponyo IMO.
The background music does help what you're talking about, but it's very noticeable. I mean if that's what you're going for, it's fire. However, it does mean I had to reorient myself to the music every topic change. Not something I would personally do, but hey you're the making the video not me. Keep up the great work, animation, and analysis! :)
the fact that they made a movie with puppets in stop motion and brought inanimate objects to life.....and the movie is about a puppet that comes to life is just perfect bout to smoke the rest of this and watch that
I love your videos, man. Im dedicating 2024 to learning blender more. Im comfortable with 3d modeling using Hops and Bcutter with machine addons, but that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
Bro omg the nerd from the polar express had the most unnatural movements in that movie I remember being like 9 watching that and feeling like I was watching a horror movie when that movies animation style went weird. Same feeling as the whoville peoples faces with those noses. Uueeghhghh
Great video as always!! Just wondering, what this has to do with texturing? ;) I really think your videos provide so much value and knowledge that you dont have to use the click baity method to get people to keep watching your videos though.. Don't get me wrong, i really love all of your videos but its kinda annoying getting the "I see a lot of beginner do this mistake when texturing, if you want to know more watch this video-->" *Video then has absolutely zero to do with texturing*. Which can be slightly annoying :') Anyways, fantastic video!
What's the easiest FREE app I can quickly learn that will allow me to do simple 2D animation with EASY lip sync, motion capture and can have motion libraries saved with the rigged characters? We just need to move four or five characters around along with some clouds and background things.
@@bluesky2145 for very basic body capture, Rokoko has a free service. For capturing head motion, including very basic lip sync, Unity has Face Capture for free. An iPhone or iPad is required to use. You will have to tie in your animations to a rigged model, and that’s where Blender comes in.
Hey, do you do 3D animation and stop motion type work for hire? I am looking for an animator, but I cannot find a website for you to get in touch with you.
Look, I really enjoy your videos and I want to pay attention to what you're saying because it is very interesting... but this thing you do on your editing where you keep changing the background music to wildly different songs with basically every new sentence seemingly at random is very, *very* distracting. And the fact that they are very recognizable pieces of videogame music which have very little to do with the video's theme only makes the problem much more noticeable. I strongly suggest you change tracks much less often and stick to more neutral music so not to undermine your great explanations.
would you consider collabing for a project??? I have a few RUclipsrs that I reached out to to join a small project for all of our RUclips I think id be fun
He likes terraria (guessing becase he has terraria music) he likes minecraft, he likes dnd, he likes blender (obviously) WHAT MORE DO WE HAVE IN COMMON!?
It may be because he’s using a subtle technique used in video making that helps people with a challenged attention span, such as adhd, focus on the video better. For an animation channel, this is good since a significant portion of people working in creative careers show signs of adhd. Different music keeps a racing mind stimulated and less likely to move on to the next 135 videos within a span of 5 minutes.
You are wearing a hat. Now jump like in your example and tell me when your hat comes off. Sure, your hat may shift a bit or even fall off your head, but it wont fly off your head as shown. So that makes it more cartoonish to me. If you want to achieve realism, then i believe you should stay as close to the real world physics as possible. Other then that, i love your video's.👍
Useless. I want to learn about the technical aspects of how to do all these things in Blender, not a bunch of vague babble about feelings of animations.

nice touch using the shop theme from blinx the time sweeper during the sponsor spot.
It’s just a perfect fit 👌
3:05 Nicely well done of putting Blinx The Time Sweeper "Shop Theme" on the Squarespace ad. 😂 Haven't heard that song in a while. 😁
I love how he used soundtracks from both zelda and undertale
By far your best one yet :)
Thanks homie!

Thanks bro! I appreciate that a lot
Why the music changes every 10 second
I feel like adhd child

Hold on to your hats! This short videos are like easing gold bars into your hands.
I was ready for its release after all. Are you proud of me, Smeaf?
I am so damn proud!
I wanna eat the smeaf creature so bad, the texture looks awesome on it
No pls, not my dog
Do you have like a tutorial on how you made that jumping animation look like that? (The colors and such).
Love your channel!
Yeeeeeesssss Finally

Could you please show us How to make facial animations in low Poly characters? Cascadeur or blender, your choice!
Someone sure likes Nintendo BGM... ;-)

Very epic
The hat animation looked very clunky
Are you experienced with animation? Or you just gettin into it? I had the impression that motion graphics were your thing
I have a bachelor of animation :)

Just didn't think to mention it, as Pinnochio hits the same beats with "Animating the ordinary"

The bigger problem is that it’s too loud. Needs to go down 25%-50%
