    Oh, and to clarify, I cut 20 minutes of script, not finished video. Extending the video's length by 20 minutes adds... a lot of extra work. I only did it so I could finish the video in a reasonable time frame, so don't worry, part 2 will definitely happen.

      Tron is also *extremely* hybrid itself--most of the animation in it was backlit hand animation, and every frame of the CGI was rendered in black and white and gone over by hand animators who added coloring and glows. It's really a workflow that only made sense for a few years.
      There was this period in science-fiction movies when it actually made sense to fake in-world computer graphics with hand techniques rather than the reverse. Tron was right on the cusp of the turnover, when it started to be feasible to actually render computery-looking things using a computer--but only just.

    The clashing art style of gumball is one of its best things; the environments are photo realistic to contrast the wacky and creative character designs, and you can get a lot of information out of their animation styles. The realistic 3D model of tina that looks straight up from Jurassic Park communicates her antagonistic role at the beginning of the show, but while we learn more about the character, the constant clashing and union of the character's mental and physical characteristics make for a great comedy.

    Besides Klaus there's also other ways that 2D animation takes inspiration from 3D animation.
    Something that I missed in the video was 2D rigged animation. Where 2D characters are made to be rigs that can be posed and animated just like how they make rigs for 3D animated movies.
    An interesting example for this would be the Disney series Motorcity where they also integrate 3D models in the style. However the heads of the characters are 2D rigs that can do full turnarounds with sliders/controllers. There's a breakdown from Titmouse how it works when animating and you can find WIP versions of the head rotations where you see the different shapes deform and move as well.

      That can really be it's own video. Macromedia Flash (now Adobe Animate) and Toon Boom/Harmony have been staples of TV animation since about 2002. Once studios figured out how best to use them, they really elevated the "Hanna Barbera" style of limited animation to an impressive degree. Harmony is now closer to a 3d program, in the way it can warp, bend, and skew pre-drawn elements, and allows animators to layer in z-depth.

    • @camwing
      @camwing  2 месяца назад +48

      Katzenberg kinda sucks, and he left Disney to co-found Dreamworks as a way of getting back at the executives. It was his idea to make Lord Farquaad look like Michael Eisner, (the CEO of Disney at the time) and he was very outspoken about how Shrek was basically one giant middle finger to Disney.
      Brad Bird was fired by Katzenberg back when they both worked at Disney, so when he directed The Incredibles, I'm almost positive that the insurance boss guy was a quiet dig back at him. And since Brad Bird wasn't a petty turd like Katzenberg, he didn't go around bragging about it.

    i also hope people can watch more chinese animation because they have been doing this sort of stuff for a while. when u mentioned arcane using 2d backgrounds to save money, that reminded me of the chinese animation Drowing Sorrows in Raging Fire which is 3d animated in a 2d style and has background characters animated in full 2d to save time/money on 3d modelling and rigging. there are so many good 3d chinese animation that are very creative in the way they use cgi

  • @simonpodliska1072
    @simonpodliska1072 2 месяца назад +43

    I agree with a lot of this video, but I think there's something to be said about movies working extra hard to break out of the photorealistic cgi animation style that dominated the 2000's to early 2010's- specifically, the Lego Movie.
    Yes, in many aspects it fits into the stereotypes of movies coming out around that time- it's goal is to look as realistic as possible, and many don't even realize it had cgi at all. However, in its goal to look like traditional stopmotion, it had to look "choppy" at points, and because of that, it looked completely different than any other animated movie at the time. In my personal opinion, this movie helped inspire the next generation of animated movies, and feels like a splitting point between Pixar's reign of realism and the merge of different animation/art styles in cgi movies.

It is basically a book, that retells the story of the movie like a comic, and certain pictures are empty, which you have to buy "boosters" and hope you get the right pictures. You can trade with friends, I remember in order to get mine full I had to order 5 or so.

    The 3D CG in the Black Cauldron clips was noticeable to me, despite it matching the lighting style of everything else in motion.
    the giveaway is that the shape of things is too consistent when they're 3D CG.
    it lacks the slight distortion a human animated prop might have, and thus sticks out from everything that does.

    Thinking about the ‘Spiderverse effect’, I’d always attributed it to ‘animating on the twos and threes’ and ‘using comic book inspired visual effects’.
    So when you showed the Peanuts movie had it beat chronologically, my mind thought, “Huh, interesting- I wonder why THEY decided to go with that visual choi-“ before my brain did a dolly zoom as I remembered that Peanuts is indeed, also a comic
    And then we got to the TMNT movie! And my brain immediately snapped to the fact that IT was a comic too!
    I wonder- What other comics-based series could animators use to push the boundaries of these concepts?? Excited to find out!

    Hey I loved this video, I learned about some brilliant animation that's older than I am, deepened my understanding of newer animations, and got reminded of some examples that sparked my interest in animation in the first place. I felt proud for noticing the character was actually a 3D model after a few minutes, and it was awesome to see that be a talking point in the video
    It'd be cool to see examples from videogames in a future video, things like Arc System Works' blend of 3D animation, anime stylisation, and even cartoonish smear frames. And I heard one of the Spiderman games uses animation techniques from Spiderverse. There's a bunch of games that blend mediums in fun ways, like Paper Mario, Bug Fables, or Here Comes Niko which have 2D characters who move around in 3D worlds. Or Mario Odyssey/Zelda Link Between World which have whole 2D sections. Or The Messenger which swaps between 8-bit and 16-bit graphics
    I'm actually working on games with mixed mediums/animation styles. Most are just ideas for now, and the one in making is in very early stages, so I'm saving this video for inspiration/reference for that

    There's one thing I really expected that wasn't mentioned: The Stereoptical Process.
    Made by Max Fleischer & co. in 1936, it was a deice that allowed stop-motion setbacks to be combined seamlessly with 2-D cel animation. That scene of Popeye walking through the cave in Popeye V. Sinbad, that's a prime example of the Stereoptical Process. I'd debate that hybrid animation isn't limited to just CG & 2-D, but rather mixing any form of animation with another. Who's to say mixing 2-D & paper cutout animation isn't considered hybrid; Or stop-motion with CGI?

  • @booradleyboo

    I enjoyed this, good job. I dabble in mixed media animations too. I've used video footage with frame-by-frame animation, and film footage edited with frame-by-frame animation composited in.
    I've been working for some time on a hand drawn 3D environment (grease pencil drawings in Blender), mashed-up with 3D elements, flat drawings, simulations, and stop-frame animation.
    It's a lot of fun not being restricted to a single medium. Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one of my earliest memories of mixed media in animation.

    @ZombiBunni_ 2 месяца назад +59

    Ok the “people being unable to tell where cg begins and drawn art ends” section kind of stunned me. I have grown up in the industry - like my dad has been working in CG since the late 90s & to this day runs a non-profit convention that’s meant to help pass wisdom to the next generation of sequential-arts-related artists (as in, everything from the concept artists to the final renderers & everything from films to video games to comic books).
    For me, I never knew how to NOT immediately see the blending of mediums, especially in the Disney stuff. Beauty and the beast is one of the few that made me do a double take because Belle & Beast are *not* blocked out in 3D before being drawn, that’s genuinely just how impressive James Baxter is, lol.
    But this isn’t to brag about how “I’m super good at seeing it and everyone else sucks” or anything, I just… never thought of that being a disconnect for people. Me not understanding the eyes of non-artists makes it really really hard to discuss the current issues with the industry with them. I recently spoke with someone about AI and they spoke about how it’s great as a tool, “lifting pressure off artists just like CG” & that “just like CG it will come with lay offs, but be better as a whole”. I couldn’t figure out how to get through to them JUST HOW DIFFERENT this is, because CG never took *any* jobs away in the manner that they mean, not in the end. Paper animation is still part of the process in some places, and paper animators often went on to learn the new skill sets OR contribute to dynamic animation segments that couldn’t make use of modern puppet warp tools. Tweening is probably a better example, it *sort of* is similar to generative AI and would have made it so that fewer people were needed per project. But more projects came into existence entirely, so again, not quite the same.
    CG and very very limited supplementary generative AI use HAS been contentious before when it was overhyped and ill understood. Companies, for the century that animation has been so big, have always wanted to boot out as many people as possible for the sake of a bottom line. But that’s not how these tools actually work, they still need artists. People couldn’t see the seams because the *artists* put so much care in. Generative AI is just another wave of propaganda imo, another corporatocratic desperate attempt to make a self-oiled perpetual motion machine out of animation. When people got laid off at the advent of CG animation, it was cause the corpos oversold just how much CG would “streamline things” - (and also CG didn’t have unions the way that traditional animators did, so lots of companies jumped quickly away from their traditional staff to inflate usage of CG)
    It’s been hard to explain /why/ I think it’s such an unrealistic “dream” to have Generative AI “take over” so much, I’ve had to settle with just explaining why it’s /cruel/. And it is, and it’s *still* harmful, realistic or not. But I hope I’ll be able to explain what I’m seeing from *this* specific angle a bit better now. This is another hype train, another misunderstanding about the processes behind the scenes. If it really was considered a tool, it would boost the industry instead of “take 90% of Artist’s Jobs” as Katzenberg so cheerily declared half a year ago :P
    (EDIT FOR CLARITY: if AI is used as a tool, a supplement that artists can control, I generally think that’s fantastic. AI is not bad /because/ it’s a machine doing art tasks, the /hype surrounding AI/ is the thing I take umbrage with. There’s places for it, but not as advertised :P)

      It is _very_ difficult to get this point across to people who don't understand how the industry works (much less how an artist work), because they tend to weirdly be set in their ways on topics they're hardly educated on. It's like talking to a rock. They take it how they want to without even _considering_ thinking on it more. The bigger picture and finding ways to make it better for the medium itself? Lost on them. Those kind of people take everything as competition - as they've probably always been contended with and felt like an underdog that has to _prove_ something. To who? Idk - and can't seem to fathom progress without needless fighting. And it's the more frustrating because obtuse people will _always_ act smug when you're in flabbergast. They think it's a single of victory or something. They never seem to have self-awareness. Gods they've never even _been_ in the positions of "laid-off" artists they spoke of and always assume it meant the workers died of hunger or something! It's ridiculous.

    And the different types of animation for 2D and 3D for what is used and what more is being used for what is very confusing and I like how this video really clear some things, like spider-verse used all 3D with traditional 2D animation with some drawn bits and how certain techniques like arcane uses a 3D scenes with just drawn 2D parts to save cost to seem 3D, amazing

    I blame a lot of the misinformation on RUclips rantsonas who despise Disney for "killing 2D." Y'all gotta understand. Spider-verse is digital. Puss 2 is digital. TMNT Mutant Mayhem is digital. Also, The Peanuts Movie along with films like The Prophet and shows liek 2012 TMNT, deserves all of their flowers.

    it always makes me cringe when people point to a piece of media and claim it as the epitome of an art style. There is NO epitome of ANY style, art is subjective. Ive never heard anyone refer to hybrid animation as "spider-verse style" but if thats what they call it, i hate it

      I mean, there are epitomes of art styles, of genres. They just aren't objective epitomes. Intersubjective at best.

    I'm actually really greatful you touched on the great mouse detective in the beginning which I'll admit is one of my favorite movies ever. It's often really overlooked imo, even purely in the animation category. It was a trailblazer at the time, being the first full length American animated movie to incorporate 3d into it's artstyle (fun fact: the scenes from tgmd where actually created before the ones in black cauldron). Hell you even made me realize that, there are other 3d elements in this movie like those bullets, that I didn't look more into before. This whole video was so informative and made my evening.

    This is an incredible video. Really good pacing and seamless flow between topics/examples, and each example brings new information, it's not just copy and paste descriptions. Feels like a really good essay
