- I didn't make this or work on it :)
got it from the movie studios website
haven't seen it uploaded anywhere in its full entirety in 1080p
crazy animatronics and puppeteering system
just wanting to share this clip around
the full reel is at www.swayboxstu...
How the hell has physical puppetry gotten this advanced to the point we're basically doing CGI facial animating in real life with only stop motion dolls
Now you can use a still picture
223
Human advancement never ceases to amaze me
It hasn't.
This is VERY faked and you all fell for it.
@@sespiderIt's not faked, it's a style that's been misunderstood, it was even introduced as a facial animation technology showcase, and damn is it impressive, the fact it's got people questioning when taken out of context means they've got it as believable as they'd worked for.
It's a bit of a hybrid method, puppet the character and digitally rig the face, the tracking's pretty impressive, if lighting and color-matching is handled by this whole "tink" engine(?) then that's huge.
It was never advertised as being purely reality, just a demo of how good it can look.
And this was from 2017. This tech is SEVEN YEARS OLD, and it already blows stuff from now out of the water.
Swaybox is on some next-level galactic shit.
It's a puppet with a cgi face. I thought it was a 100% real puppet face at first.
damn i thought this was recent
because the stuff from "now" is actually the stuff from decades ago, the stuff "now" isnt trying to be this
I have never been blown away by anything such as this innovation.
Hope to see it actually put to use in the film industry.
It is! Swaybox is making the upcoming “Dynamic Duo” movie for DC!
Imagine this at Theme Park rides.
@timtamTom.1 James Gunn keeps winning
@@estevanguzman7456Oh my gosh, yes!
This is gonna be a game changer I can feel it
The applications of this is gonna be crazy ppl just don't realize how big this is
It's facial replacement animation. Old and bad at that.
@@bentrickyget outta here with that shit. Bad how? Got any examples?
@@bentricky they’re not replacing the faces tho… the face is being animated by a computer like how it’s done for CGI. This is incredible
@@bentrickyunless it’s just REALLY good camera tracking and a lot of extra work for no reason. Which I suppose could be the case
This is basically stop motion, except it doesn't stop
Edit: yeah, I know this is puppetry
so its just motion then
@EvanG.Go motion
So puppetry with extra steps
?
Stop motion 2 eletric boogaloo
More like puppets.
Saw the thumbnail and thought it was a 3D blender fan animation but clicked on it for loving IronGiant
.......
Saw the video and now my brain doesn't know what to think because it's been obliterated
Same💀 💀
Same 💀
Same
Same
How many people would assume it's cji?
FYI, this animation studio/style is going to be making DC’s “Dynamic Duo”, a movie about Dick Grayson & Jason Todd’s Robins
Great news then!!
Exciting! Hopefully Zaslav doesn’t kill it.
@@T_Black_Lodgehe’s not gonna be ceo by then cause his contract expires by 2027
@@RandomSailormoondudeALT Even better
poor Tim
That was impressive. Times has passed and this is a game changer. No CGI, but our eyes feel it is, but it isn't.
Yes, honestly I couldn't even tell it this was or not CGI
but it is, lol
@@birdflox1337 its a puppet
@@AtelierOfWeebs it's a puppet, but from what I understand the face is superimposed with CGI.
Yesnt.. projectors
It’s a smidge uncanny but those kinda of things can be ironed out eventually. This is genuinely incredible
“IRONed out”
say that again..
It's also from 7 years ago. I'm sure it's improved since then
I actually think uncanniness is part of the charm with alternative animation forms, like the way people say claymation scares them
Uncanny? I think it looks gorgeous
I dont think its uncanny
This is honestly breathtaking… this might be one of the greatest practical effects ever.
0:19 is crazzyyy
Why though
@@Jwkqlqnwv are you joking
And look at the Marahute model behind them. That's real?!
@@Balthazar2242 maybe?🥶
Oh my dear god, this is by far the most impressive puppet work ever created. This is some next-level shit right here.
At first I thought this video was a demo for puppeteering 3D models and the puppet was comped in for fun..... this looks so insane. We don't need AI tools for the future of film, we need this stuff.
is that not what it is??
@@MartyrMoon wait..... wha- ok now I'm not sure either way, what the hell is happening here lol
@KnapfordMaster98 I'm fairly confident that there isn't a physical thing making those expressions, but the mechanical sounds make me think they want it to seem like there is
@@MartyrMoon I think you're right, the hearted comments and "live demo" of it tricked me into thinking it was 100% real. I think it is a CG comp.
No it is puppetry, that's this company's media. The facial features are just controlled mechanically for smoothness
I'm absolutely blown away, the thumbnail had me thinking this was CGI but it's insane to see animatonics this advanced. I would love to see more of this
It is CGI on top of a puppet
The first time I saw this, I thought it was fake. Swaybox is doing absolutely incredible stuff.
This seems like something tailor-made for animatronics at Disneyland.
Disney shill
@@DaveRedsky Why?
@@medalion1390 why do you think it's a "disney" thing?
@@DaveRedsky Disneyland utilizes animatronics, in so many of their attractions and this kind of technology looks like the next evolution when it comes to that.
If I were the people who came up with this I’d definitely be pitching it to Disney.
@@medalion1390 every studio does you disney shill
Not exclusive for disney, you weirdo
Fun fact: The incredibles and the iron giant have both the same director (Brad Bird) and the same character designer (Tony Fucile). Tink is probably the closest thing we're gonna get to a cgi iron giant, kinda like how iron giant is close to a hand drawn animated incredibles.
They are in fact the same character designs, in fact Incredibles was going to be a 2D movie, but thanks to the flop of the giant, he had to forget everything he knew of animation and start learning 3D (dvd commentary)
Yea
this isn't CGI. it's animatronic/puppeteering.
@richie-3485 the face is CGI, ptojected on top of a puppet to make it look more realistic
@@richie-3485 I know. I'm just saying it looks very similar to the 3D character models in the incredibles since the the puppet is meant to replicate the 2D character design of iron giant lol.
And to think this animation style is *potentially* going to be used for a Dynamic Duo movie...
The level of expressiveness here is what we all want from animation, whichever medium is used
Holy fuck!!! This looks incredible!! I'm even more excited for the Dynamic Duo Movie
Dc and wanner bros pictures animation.
So Am I
This is genuinely going to be a part of cinema history.
this is impressive. but it is CG. the face is composited on. looks like the software animates and tracks in real time and in camera (which is probably what this was actually meant to showcase to the studio or director) but due to editing of the footage is misleading to the public. if you watch frame by frame, you can spot polygons, tears, and clipping with the lips and teeth. the eyebrows also jump from time to time. tbh its a little scary everyone thinks this is real. (i have a degree in digital arts)
yeah that makes more sense considering this was made in 2017
Yeah the video is incredibly disingenuous and it is troubling how many people can't see it.
It's really not. It is not scary that people clicked on this video, saw an impressively expressive puppet and did not question it. Because it's not important.
I'm disappointed I had to scroll so far to see even ONE skeptical comment, thank you
Holy fuck, I can actually see it when he has his face shrunk at 0:12 , the face rotates unnaturally if go at it frame-by-frame
I wasnt impress with new stuff in the world of entertaintment (movies, games, etc) for tons of years, yet you somehow managed to make my jaw drop after a long time. This is ridiculous groundbreaking. Thank you 👍
This is absolutely bonkers. My brain can’t compute the complexity of this beautiful puppetry. It looks so freaking cool!!!
This is insane. Like, dang. I have no words.
Real time stop motion.
I have never seen such an expressive animatronic puppet! This looks like wizardry. I wish I could see even a short film using this technology.
How dose this work, like its insane to look at the range of emotion it has it's unreal
I am utterly bamboozled
HOW DOES THIS WORK??? It looks fantastic, and uncanny at the same time
Im mind blown at how real that puppet is. Amazing
Imagine a Wallace and Grommit style adventure with this new tech and now expressive the claymation was…my brain is filled with ideas on how this could be used!
This is the kind of teamwork in medium that caused Gollum to look so good.
I'm looking forward to seeing this evolve and revolutionize stop motion, it's literally the next level of that magnificent animation technique and I love it, combining the organic with the digital is magnificent!
That is pretty amazing! Most animatronics or puppets, when they are talking, the mouth just moves up and down. That's it. But somehow, you all managed to get more expressions and make the speaking lines look realistic. At first, I thought this was just another CGI animated recreation. Good job.
If this movie ever gets a remake please let it be in this style.
I agreed❤❤❤
Gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS! I haven’t watched RDU in a long long time, and just from my own memory, you matched that falling scene *perfectly* his face as the wind’s rushing past so brutally he can’t even open his eyes took me BACK ❤
Now that’s what I call a Roger rabbit effect absolutely astonishing
*Definitely not stop motion. It's simply really good puppetry and animatronics! Wow this is awesome!!*
This is so surreal! What a great blend of CGI and stop motion
Growing up watching stop-motion animated movies, this just tickles my fancy. It's as smooth as CGI, it has the charm of stop-motion, and maybe half the production cost.
When you ignore potential problems like smear frames, a movie like this would be amazing.
I'm now seeing this and I can truly say. This is incredible asf, I love this can't wait to see whatever project comes from this
That is some VERY impressive puppet and animation work. I hope the guys pioneering it makes something magical with it in the future.
Oh my god my mind cannot even process this. These are REAL. these are freaking real!!!!! This is amazing and my mind cannot comprehend it!!!!!!!!!!!
I literally shouted "Mierda!" When i saw the facial movement. Its so smooth and expressive! Its a masterpiece of engineering! ❤❤❤
Looking forwards to shorts, movies and plays using this tech!
If this is from 2017 that’s insane. Can’t imagine how much it’s changed
WHAT
I was expecting this to be a CGI demo but it's puppetry! Incredible! Fantastic work! I hope we can see films made in this style in the future.
You ever just find a video so cool you just gotta show your whole family or friend group? Yeah, this is that video for me. I hope this gets used more, I miss stop motion animation, wish it was done more often.
This feels so SO MUCH MORE FULL OF LIFE THAN EVEN CGI!!! This may just be the future… I could watch an entire modern version of Iron Giant in this style
This is one of the most impressive animation achievement ever
This is awesome!!! I always had a dream/fantasy to come up with something like this lol and you guys r doing it! Cant wait to see more of it! ❤
Imagine this tech being used in robotics in the future. Didn't think such detailed real-time animated faces were possible.
I absolutely adore that we are still doing puppetry and stop motion
This is genuinely messing my brain up how is the face moving SOOOO smoothly? I would love to see the mechanics behind this! Incredible!
That puppet is absolutely beautiful!! The movement is so beautiful and so fluid, wonderful expressions, just stunning to see all around ❤😮
not sure what I am looking at 🤨 Either it’s puppet with quite some range, inflating cheeks , lifting eyebrows, opening mouth etc.., and the CGI visual is projecting rest of the facial features on top of that in like augmented reality render. OR, it’s really just the puppet with all that expression range, but if so, then it’s one insane puppet 😳
after further inspection I think it’s the first option, CGI face projected on top of the puppet footage.
It's Is cgi projected :'v
Theres no way to make a puppet that complex
Yo this is cool! It captures the tiny detailed movements of the hand drawn animations, in the third dimensional world. What I love about the older animated movies is how they made it look three dimensional in a 2D setting. With this, it’s been enhanced, and brought to the real world. I love everything about this so much.
I WILL PAY GOOD MONEY TO WATCH THAT ON THE THEATERS! TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
Whoa, whoa, WHOAAAA!!!!! That is crazy!!! WOW!!! I'm so happy despite the technological advancements for animated features, practical puppetry is still going strong. And they picked two of the best movies to test it!
You know damn well Disney park imagineers are watching these guys like a hawk
THIS is why I can still love movies. Insane creativity, implementing technology with love.
It's a translucent fabric that has a screen projected back side. Works well for cartoony faces.
The face is CG, it's a demo of their digital animation tech, that's more up disney's alley
😱 DISS IS THE MOST COOOOLIST THING IVE EVER SEEN 😭🩷🩷🩷 I love it !
this type of stuff is what makes me always so excited about animation, i genuinely hope this takes off
This is so groundbreaking that I’m genuinely struggling to believe if it’s real or not
It's not. Maybe go look at some other deep-fakes and facial replacement videos and you'll see similarities.
@@bentrickydo you think this studio would be hired to helm a feature length studio picture without being properly vetted? Seriously, what is your problem? Why do people like you even exist?
@@bentrickysource
@@bentrickybrother…do research and look up their studio lol
@bentricky u gonna back up ur skepticism with proof? U cant just call everything a dEep fAKe when u see something exceptional
Ever since I've seen shows like thunderbirds and captain Scarlett I've known that puppets can be really good in film it's just that people prefer live action or 3d animation because it's ether cheaper or more flexible in the long run
It's been nearly 8 years, why do we have yet to see this in any major animated films?
I love how it's able to express the emotions so naturally, the only difference I noticed in the Iron Giant comparison is just in some of the extra exaggeration you are able to get with frame by frame (understandably so)
CG face real-time puppeteered then real-time mapped onto practical head and body, camera tracking etc
Mind blowing honestly, there are no words for how awesome this is. I love technology like this.
for those unaware, this is Puppetry MIXED with CG, specifically the facial expressions are pushed by CG. these same guys made a Superbowl LVI commercial where the faces on the puppets were fully CG, so i assume the breakthrough is this time only using it to PUSH the expression rather than make the whole expression.
Stan Winston would be over the moon with this kind of break through this is nothing short of incredible. The little details in the face wrinkles and cheeks puffing out? How tf???
Where can I find more of this? This is insane…ly awesome.
I gotta say, the complexity of the mechanisms going on behind that face has got to be as precise as a surgeon. Maintenance on something like that has to be a nightmare. But when it works as intended, it looks like a dream.
these great creatives will now work on DC studios film 'Dynamic Duo' which is about Robin and Nightwing 🔥
stop motion/puppetry with modern cg should be the goal. We've proven you can do everything with cgi, now truly utilize it!
DC fans are gonna eat good for this! Along with James Gunn's Superman!
wowowowow this is utterly spectacular the transition from the first to second facial expression at the very beginning blew my mind
Imagine a Spinoff of Transformers ONE but with this technology, or better, Paramount's Sonic or for a park based on the 2 franchises already mentioned.
We are in post cg era now, thank God. This looks just out of this world.
I need to know how it works
This movie was one of my favorites as a kid, and I'd kill to see a modernized version like this after 20 years. It actually reminds me of Moral Orel.
Where did this come from? Swaybox studios doesn’t have any official vid about it
@@DarkDesiresOfficial The only place I could find where this facial animation system was mentioned was the footage included in the Demo Reel on their website
There's something so charming about the hair being able to move freely while also keeping it's shape. I want to see movies with this animation style!
Really good puppeteering
Not a puppet.
@@bentrickyit’s still called puppeteering.
This makes me so happy as someone who's mourned the loss of both puppetry and stop motion presence. Anything tactile and physical will interest me more than 3d cg, simply because of what I'm interested in. Excited for the day when it's all a physical electronic object.
You realise the facial stuff is most likely pushed with cg...
Wait... This is advanced puppetry!? If so, I'm absolutely impressed!
I feel like when Dynamic Duo releases in a few years, the animation will have a similar effect on the audience the way the Into The Spiderverse animation did. Both will have revolutionized the genre, in their own rights
This is very clearly just puppetry with a cg overlay, is it not?
it is. very disingenuous video, has a lot of people confused
it's absurd how cool this is... how do you even manage this?? it's so expressive!!
The face is CGI surely? How could a puppet possibly do all that
It's not cgi
@@OneModernGerman yes it is
@@Mrdashell it's not lil buddy
@@OneModernGerman It's confirmed to be CGI and Puppetry
@@Mrdashell false, it has not been confirmed lil guy
even if some CGI was used in the facial animation, this is still so impressive and advanced! I’d love to see a studio use this technology for an entire film
Had to dig for it, and its actually really neat how they pulled this off
Basically, the animation is a mixed hybrid of puppetry, stop motion, and CGI, with stop motion and puppetry doing the heavy lifting of the body, and CGI used to animate the face (at least in the behind the scenes for the NFL commercial that's how they explain the CGI being used)
I couldn't find any information about this specific puppet, but based on the tests at the start I would guess it has physical expressions that are enhanced by the CGI for the finer movements. It sounds like there's neumatics involved, and there wouldn't be much point in doing tests like that unless there was a physical construct that was doing the work. It could also be that the face can achieve the full range, and the face is animated in CGI, then that animation is converted into commands for the anamatronic face to use during puppetry.
Sources: the linked website in the description has a news page, which links to an animation magazine article roughly explaining some of whats going on
Never in my life have I seen puppetry so incredibly expressive
Why don’t movies use this
I am so excited about this style of animation. Zero CGI, just all the facial expressions for the puppetry. This will be a huge game changer for any animation style.
It's mostly CGI though. It's not possible for a puppet to do this.
I'm so excited for what's to come, how they're going to use this. I love art, with all my heart. ❤
This is absolutely amazing, and beautiful. No exclamation point, because im just so speechless.
Especially that ending scene with the bird. Projects powered by this technique are gonna go on to be modern day classics, that hold up decades from now.
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was CGI, and went "Is not perfect, but they're probably just getting started, so it's good" and I clicked to see more.
The next thing I learn is the fact that it WASN'T CGI, Mind absolutely blown right there.
woah, this is kinda insane!! I wonder what we can see from this technology going forward! Thanks for sharing this with us!
The fact they used samples from The Iron Giant and The Rescuers Down Under is what made the video for me
By the thumbnail I thought it was someone trying to recreate the Iron Giant for a modern audience. I would not have been for that. But seeing what it actually is is incredible and that is something I can get behind.
dynamic duo will change the world of animation
