    Disney really set the standard for great animation... I take it for granted that I"m able to do this all digitally now, but it's so awesome to see how they were able to pull off this sort of thing back then. It's like steampunk After Effects!

      mopenstein This video. Is formatted using technology. Full of 1's and 0's. Merely a projection of what seems real. Your argument becomes invalid because of this.
      There is no such thing as an imaginary 1 and 0. They are all very real data that can be used to assemble readable information. If you dare say that 1's and 0's are but imaginary, we can also say the DNA's (the stuff that creates us) T, A, C, and G are imaginary.
      It is fair to say that you are just biased or prefer the traditional style of media. You musn't create illogical arguments that try to twist words and meaning to fit your opinions.

      It's an opinion, if he finds it better then 3D, thats his opinion. Tbh, i like the look of that background of Bambi more then some recent Disney movies. I prefer anime over 'proper' 3D animated characters.
      3D might be more realistic if done properly, but that does NOT make it better.
      Looking at games: Pubg is more realistic then Fortnite. Dota is more 'realistic' the LoL (turning etc). But still its LoL that is the most played Moba and Fortnite the most played battle royale game. So generally people find those better games even though its less realistic.

Wow! The only problem is that the dinosaurs look weird. However I can accept that as being a product of the time. The dinosaur part is still really cool in showing natural history, and it comes with awesome music. It is my favorite part of the whole movie. Man all those cartoon dinosaurs are so awesome. Maybe that is a precursor to Land Before Time. Land Before Time is awesome too. It is my favorite animated movie that isn't Disney.

    I well remember looking over one of these multiplane cameras (I believe they called them 'cranes') back in the mid 80s, when Disney was on Hyperion. I've spent a fair bit of time on Oxberry downs hooters, but the Disney crane was enormous. It seemed to need quite a crew, with the camera operator up top and others who changed and moved cels and background art below. As I recall a global zoom required the camera operator to manually pull focus. I was told the unit I saw had been originally built for Snow White in 1937. I guess Ub Ikerks was the engineering genius behind these as well as the anceint, hand-made optical department in the same building (lots of Bell 2709s mounted to lathe beds, maybe only one Acme or so).
    Long gone from production now, I hope all these fabulous historic animation and VFX artifacts are being properly conserved somewhere so everyone can see how much skill and effort it took to make classic animation.

  • @GreyWolfLeaderTW
    @GreyWolfLeaderTW 5 лет назад +4

    The multiplane camera doesn't merely allow for independent movement of different layers, but it also introduces something the human eye actually sees in the real world, *focus* .
    The human eye only sees a sharp clear image for things that are at a particular distance we focus on. Anything too far or close from a distance we are currently focused on is blurry to the human eye. When the camera focuses on a specific layer (like the Old Mill in the first short the camera was used in), the spider web in front blurs as we move its layer closer to the camera, just like a person moving forward and staying focused on the mill would begin to lose focus on the web.

      The thing that is mind-numbing to me is it is even easier now than ever to make procedural backgrounds for flat surfaces to give them either subtle or very noticeable geometry, like brick patterns, random rain damage, wood grains and so on.
      Why the hell do more people not use this? It's trivial to do. It's a handful of clicks and entering numbers and you now have a detailed background over a flat color. If you want to go further, you can layer some shadow layers or light sources on top to give a more 3D look if you want that too.
      Flat is just so boring.

    It's really a shame that almost all animation is done by computers now. And seeing that Disney basically mastered n created incredible animation it's sad to see them throw traditional animation to the curb. As an artist for Disney myself I still try n keep animation alive in some of my art pieces it saddens me to see it go away. Sadly for so many companies its all come to making tons of money and that the true meaning of animation art is lost. Disney would be saddened I think.

      The thing is not that it's not possible to do on modern computers, but that it's not worth for animation studios.
      Why bother making drawn animations when you can do some 3D Animations and people watch it anyways ?
      The target market doesn't even seem to care so why don't stick with cheap 3D Animations.
      Sure they're not as charming, but when it comes to a business, it makes sense.
      Obviously, I dislike cheap 3D animations too, but I can see why they're being used so often and that's why I can accept it.
      We can't really blame anyone here. But yeah, it's sad.
      (I'm not saying that 3D art is bad, I'm going to study 3D Animation and Game Design next summer, but I also know that it's way easier and therefore cheaper than drawn animations)

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is the first full-length cel animated feature film released in Technicolor.
      And is true that Disney was not the first to invent a multiplane camera, this was Lotte Reiniger, but Disney created his own version independently and further refined it, giving it a more sophisticated use like never seen before. For me, both are capitals figures in the History of animation, along with other great names like Max Fleischer, Ub Iwerks, Winsor McCay, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Oscar Fischinger, Quirino Cristiani, Osamu Tezuka or Hayao Miyazaki.

    Ub Iwerks invented the multiplane camera with movable cameras and parallaxing/zoom [1]
    *The first multiplane camera, using movable layers of flat artwork before a horizontal camera, was invented by former Walt Disney Studios animator/director Ub Iwerks in 1933, using parts from an old Chevrolet automobile. His multiplane camera was used in a number of the Iwerks Studio's Willie Whopper and Comicolor cartoons of the mid-1930s.*
    Ub Iwerks is the same guy that created/drew Mickey Mouse[2] and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, two cartoons that got Disney animation going.
    *American animator, cartoonist, character designer, inventor, and special effects technician, who co-created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse. The works Iwerks produced alongside Walt Disney went on to win numerous awards, including multiple Academy Awards*
    Iwerks was instrumental in getting Disney started. Walt was the Steve Jobs and Ub was the Woz.
    Even though Ub and Walt were best friends, Iwerks pretty much got effed over by Disney and later left to go to MGM to make Flip the Frog [3] and other animations.
    It is sad most people don't know Ub Iwerks created Mickey Mouse and parallax via the multiplane camera tech/machine and many other things, nor his impact on animation and animation technology.
    Ub Iwerks son, Don Iwerks [4], later worked at Disney and on 20,000 leagues under the sea, and some other neat stuff and is a Disney Legend member. Like his dad he later went to start his own thing in Iwerks Entertainment after 35 years at Disney.
    *In 1954, Iwerks got a camera technician position for the film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, starring Kirk Douglas and Peter Lorre. He would spend the next 30 years driving film innovations for the Disney company. Notable contributions include the first 360 film techniques, 360-degree camera, and first Circle-Vision 360 film, America the Beautiful, and developing the process for creating seamless live action shots with animated backgrounds.*
    *In 1985, after nearly 35 years at Disney, Don left to form his own company called Iwerks Entertainment. Iwerks became a leading developer of special films, special venues, and virtual reality theaters throughout the world.*
    Ub Iwerks really should get more respect as he created early Disney and it wouldn't have happened without him probably. Typical doer that ended up getting effed over and should be more recognized for the guy that created Mickey Mouse and Disney tech, he just didn't have the business prowess that Walt had.
    *Despite a contract with MGM to distribute his cartoons, and the introduction of a new character named “Flip the Frog”, and later “Willie Whopper”, the Iwerks Studio was never a major commercial success and failed to rival either Disney or Fleischer Studios.*
    He did attract the legendary Chuck Jones[5] to work with him though, Chuck went on to create some of the best animation and cartoons ever with WB.
    *Newly-hired animator Fred Kopietz recommended that Iwerks employ a friend from Chouinard Art School, Chuck Jones, who was hired and put to work as a cel washer.*
    Ub would probably hate what Disney has become but he was instrumental in helping create the magic of the early days.
    If Ub was alive today he'd probably be making adult swim/cartoon network type cartoons or stuff like Pixar made pushing tech limits. His granddaughter made the documentary 'The Pixar Story'[6]. The Iwerks family and legacy towards animation/movie tech should be more known, especially Ub.
