These characters are from another dimension... Pixar's latest film Soul had some very creative character designs and animation. Let's learn from a scene with Jerry and Terry about character animation, acting for animators, rhythm and the struggle of tucking away edge points.
In this video we have a look at the following character animation topics:
00:00 - Intro
01:45 - Acting for Animators: Changing Objectives
06:34 - Exaggerated and abstract animation
10:00 - Leading the eye
14:05 - Rhythm
19:00 - Line of action
22:07 - Technology: Struggling with bezier curves
Some animation lessons and tips from the video:
Acting for animators
Characters try to achieve an objective until it's achieved or replaced
Intention Cue: A body part is indicating what a character really wants to or is about to do next.
Characters are in the middle of something before they are shown.
Composition and Timing
Lead the eye by moving one element or character after the other.
Vary the rhythm in which poses are hit to follow the energy of the scene.
Posing in animation
Use a variation of subtle and strong changes in the line of action to tell a progression.
Those Jerry/Terry characters are some of my favorite Pixar designs ever.

The Jerry’s felt... so... real to me. I love the idea of depicting the “all knowing” beings as light
I have no exact words on how impressed on the littlest details from the animators. Along with the clear easy yet in-depth analysis from you of every tic from just a tiny interval from the film.
Those Jerries and Terry really were well-designed
Commenting for the algorithm
But also I looove seeing animation teachers/experts/animators in general talk about the craft in technical terms and how animation is executed. Really awesome stuff!
Not only the algorithm loves comments. I really appreciate them too :D Thanks for your friendly words. I hope to do more like this soon.
I love jerry's 2D like animation is just delightful
this kind of thing is exactly what i was looking for when i searched for the jerrys - i was just wondering how the heck all this animation even worked! the way these characters look so 2d and yet so alive in a 3d environment was brilliant and showcases just how skilled the people who worked on this movie are. i also am a geek about animation so this just scratches such an itch for my geek brain - this is the kind of content that rocks my socks
edit: THANK GOODNESS im not the only one who freaked out about the technical stuff for how they made these designs work - the loopy and abstract designs really looked like a pain in the butt to animate, and the way they even made them move the way they did is just so cool and different... ugh yeah im hoping for some making of stuff about the animation in this movie, theres just so much to talk about!
what I am most curious about is how they rigged these!
This was extremely fun to watch and informative. Please do more analysis!
TERRYTIME!
I think the Jerries / Terries are traditional animation traced to beziers frame by frame, no need to have all the vertexes ready. Managing the feel of continuity and persistence of dimensions is something Disney animators did manually since forever, they are really good!
and I thought wrong! Here you are the explanation of how they did it from the Pixar animators themselves: ruclips.net/video/QbhsMLD9Hb0/видео.html
Many tips in a too short piece, amazing
Want to know something? When I saw Jerry for the first time, I was like “MOMMY!!!”
I gave you a thumb up, so I expect some more animation analysis. ;) Great job man!
Jerry is a hivemind

i never knew one of the jerries disagreed
Great video! I'm subscribing 😊
You are awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee, thank you
Were the Jerrys animated with some combination of 2D and 3D animation, you think? I figured they must've been added on top of the 3D animation afterward, but at 7:51 the ends of the curves seem to very much be 3D particles.
Not to mention the fact that reflections in the 3D environment seem to properly react to the Jerrys, but that could have also been added in compositing
i love it and the movie het
It looks like the icon of mac finder. Originated from Cubism of picasso.
Quick thing, Terry is a “they” not a “he”
Terry uses She / They if I'm correct .
@@thesireen they’re only referred to by “they” in the movie
@@vee8101 terry is referred to as she aswell by the creators
@@thesireen huh. Well then, either way it’s not a “he”
@@vee8101 yea yea 😎 , she / they terry
Very nice 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
