    I see these a lot in screenshots and then people are like "They have the budget, they have money, and people give this shit praise for being so well animated" when its a smear frame, say in Yuri On Ice when Yurio is ice skating you can find a screenshot with elongated arms. It's funny to look at but anyone who knows shit knows that those scenes are needed to create the scene and make the animation look far better.
    It gets annoying when people take screenshots of smear frames and claims them to be "bad animation" and question the budget and how good the animation is as a whole.

      Just tell them to animate something fast on as low a budget possible. they'll figure out smear frames or die trying.

      I mean,if you want to you can.I did and I’m possibly the least motivated person on this planet.Your animation will never be the greatest ever when you just start so don’t be demotivated.If you want to animate,do it.Dont just sit there and say,”I’m not good enough,I’ll wait until I’m good at it” because you will never be good unless you try.If you don’t think you want to do animation anymore,so be it.It’s your life and a couple of doodles on a screen can’t change that.

      @nourmasalkhi9004 7 лет назад +1

      If you´ve watched one punch man, my hero academia II or anything by yukata nakamura you should have seen them.
      An impact frame is when an action/impact is so powerful it rips the following one or two frames from their colors and/or distorts them to nothing but energetic scribbles,
      but yukata nakamura goes totally overboard and it is beautiful.

    Now that I've secured a front seat in the comments section, I'd like to say that I'm glad you finally got around to smear frames. It's something of a mystery to me to get right, so I'm glad you broke it down.

  • @scratchpad7954
    @scratchpad7954 7 лет назад +46

    A good example of a smear frame in animation can be seen in the beginning of Pokémon ☀🌒 in its first episode as the camera zooms in on Ash and his Pikachu riding a Sharpedo. The velocity of the Sharpedo launching Pikachu up from a lowered position generates a smear frame that can be clearly seen, albeit for approximately 83⅓ milliseconds at most, like Crowne mentioned.

    I've been spotting these frames since I was BORN.
    I love smear frames to death, and many of my short movement animations (that I will never show the Internet world) revolve around them. Honestly, drawing those specific frames are kinda funny, cause it's odd to see your character look so abnormal.
    I'm glad you talked about them man! Keep up the good work!

    A few things to note is you should also use smear frames carefully, you can’t just smear everything (unless you either have a cartoonish like style or you want to convey your character is very light or squishy). When there’s a smear frame, it generally means there’s some sort of very fast motion. Different smears can also mean different things. If you study certain cartoons like Animaniacs, stretched out proportions are used for very fast movement, lines are used to convey somewhat fast movement, and no smears are used for slow movements.

  • @kojin7376
    @kojin7376 7 лет назад +7

    Smear frames are honest to god hilarious to draw and pause on. I remember watching Steven Universe and pausing on a particularly hilarious frame as two gems unfused, and drawing smear frames just makes the process of animation a little more fun.

  • @RedCordPlayer
    @RedCordPlayer 7 лет назад +3

    Where I first saw smear frames was in Chuck Jones cartoons like the "Dover Boys" I love this when this technique is used as well as when it leads to slapstick such as the character moving fast into a wall.

  • @crystalidk
    @crystalidk 6 лет назад +2

    It look a bit strange to have the witch girl suddenly just stop at point B. I suggest maybe adding a frame slightly past point B and then back so it involves the inertia of the movement? (Like when you animate a blink, and to create a bit of a pop you'd make the eye slightly more open before bringing it to normal size.)

    Scooby Doo uses smear frames really well. It's kinda what makes their style iconic. The running away scenes in particular. You can see them in the Scooby Doo inspired Ghost by mystery skulls. I use windows movie maker to slow them down so I can see how they're done because it goes frame by frame.

  • @georgehenson2412
    @georgehenson2412 7 лет назад +1

    They really are the best. I imagine there is starting to be some codification on the technique though. Just like any other aspect of animation, you can do it in many different ways, but there are some commonalities to smear frames that I hope you might explore in more depth in the future.

    @unstoppablestudio3660 7 лет назад

    It's even more fun with 3D. You have to make entirely new objects for it usually. You can just use motion blur algorithms and tactics (though what is the fun in that) but I have the most fun seeing people make entirely new shapes for the purpose. Lego Batman is my favorite one in recent memory (not a lot of examples really exist)as it not only uses newfound objects in order to accomplish the task of smear framing but they try as often as they can to use the real life lego equivalent parts to make the smear frames. I find it a bit amusing.
