I Remastered More Avatar: The Last Airbender

- I recently "remastered" Avatar: The Last Airbender in my previous video and I had so much fun with this experience I decided to attempt even more scenes from the pilot episode.
In this video, I focused on clips with movement from the characters instead of relying on stationary backgrounds.
I hope you enjoy! - Розваги
I clicked on this video thinking it was ai but this dude drew it all! I'm impressed!
It's amazing! And I am so happy it's not AI. He did such a good job
I was so scared it was going to be poorly interpolated to 60fps
At this point, Nickelodeon should hire you
If they wanted to actually recut it for widescreen, they'd get the original animation cells and backgrounds, rescanning them, then recompositing them.
Though, if they were to do this, they could hire him to do touch ups
I couldn’t agree more
@@theaddictofgaming9174 they didnt use cells, they used Autodesk Maya for a majority of the show, so they would have the animations as digital file.
@@theaddictofgaming9174 that is if the original scenes still exist and are in a functional state.
It is scary how often things like these are lost.
I feel like changing the aspect ratio messes with the focus of the frame but youve taken that into account and have managed to faithfully widen it instead of mindlessly expanding it without artistic intent. Very nice
Yeah I definitely learned my lesson from my previous video
Exactly why art should be left and appreciated in its original forms, the intent of the creators.
@@xan42O Nah it's important to preserve the original and make sure it's available in that form to be seen anytime you want but modifying something to fit modern technology standards as long as it's done well is fine in my opinion key words being done well unlike when they just poorly crop the image.
Working based off your logic the show shouldn't have been updated to HD because it makes less detailed character animation as seen in this video where they're hopping on the icebergs stand out.
HD also especially makes the dated CG in the show stand out a lot, the CG in question being the temple doors that could only be opened with bending, quite a few vehicles like the fire nation tanks, and one I only noticed recently watching the show in HD for the first time the fire nation ships and the ground in front of them in the intro of the show where you can now see the fire benders floating above the ground as the camera pans in.
I can almost guarantee the creators and the animators for that matter wouldn't want people seeing flaws previously obscured by a low resolution image but nobody wants to watch the show in 480p and the same can definitely also apply to a lot of younger people who aren't gonna want to watch in 4:3 even if it means a poorly cropped image and I'd personally prefer the image being extended instead of horribly cropped like the old orange brick Dragon Ball Z DVD sets.
BRO THAT FIRST SCENE IS INSANE
That is some seamless extension right there, holy smokes.
Idk of they would let you. But releasing a whole pilot in 16:9 would be insane. I would watch the whole ep. But so much work
Yes I would too
He could release it private like in a google drive or something
if it was not monetized like in youtube i think they'd allow it. Avatar Studios have some pretty huge projects lined up so they're looking for any extra clout and want the fanbase to be in good terms with them
Maybe as a community we could remake the whole series like that
@@cromwellcruz the entire advertising department at Paramount+ only talked about new Avatar for so long, and they’ve done nothing with the IP.
The first scene looks so good in action it’s crazy
Bryke: ChunnyKay was able to remaster ATLA in his house with an iPad!
Nickelodeon: well I'm sorry, I'm not ChunnyKay
🤣🤣
This is great man, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I’d pay money to support this and watch it progress through each episode, I get that it’s difficult and time consuming, but it’s just a thought, you could get tons of views
could you imagine the hype to watch each one as they re-released. If that ever happened i just hope Nickelodeon doesn't CND
@@kiwikiwi5602 I think the CND would probably be guaranteed
@@kiwikiwi5602 it's possible to avoid CND by never releasing the final product. OP could release only the overlay video that shows the rest of the frame and you'd need to combine it with a genuine copy to get the complete (now CND-able) product
for sure but be careful if you monetize this in anyway nickelodeon will be on your ass like grass
I am impressed with how ambitious you've gotten with tackling these shots. Even going as far as to put Sokka on the far third of the screen for better view of the arm is something you appeared to understand intuitively. The rule of thirds is a common staging device used in film and seeing you get creative with the remastering scenes with it is pretty neat! Glad to hear you're enjoying this project for yourself. It's pretty neat seeing someone who had no previous experience with animation tackling this.
Another great video! I think something that would help is acting out what the characters are doing (and even record yourself) to know how the animation should flow. We animators do it all the time and it helps a ton!
That's a good idea!
They did this for tons of scenes in the show.
@@ChunnyKay Definitely try looking up some of the videos they've already released for some old behind the scenes specials which shows a bit of their actual reference videos.
Someone get Nickelodeon to hire this man 😭 I’m already rewatching the series but this is another treat
This is nowhere near offical quality, also it takes him days to finish it so the pace would be very slow
@@whyareyousubbing Well yes but I'm pretty sure they're using a bit of hyperbole to say "Nickelodeon please make an official release like this".
Your Iceberg skills are unmatched. You got to travel to Newfoundland sometime to see the real thing.
Love this! Really makes me appreciate the 2000s animators who worked on the show
Yeah this project definitely made me appreciate the animation even more than I did before
Bro this is incredible. I had been thinking instead of a remake live action a remaster if the original would add alot to thw og show. Since it requires a lot of thought and even adding new things.
Im loving this series!
Just like you, ATLA is also my favorite cartoon. And seeing the series being "resurrected", being so popular, is very gratifying! Thank you for being part of this. We, ATLA fans, are very happy about this. Long live to Avatar!!!
ChunnyKay is now an expert on both icebergs and Appa snot. 😁
The ENTIRE SHOW please bro
This NEEDS more attention
This is a really big job for one guy alone, this at minimum would require an ensemble of people and funds, i'd definitely support a gofundme to support this and the remastering of the old episodes
He'd need to assemble an animation team given how large of a project that would be but it would be pretty cool to see
It would take him literally like five years doing this by himself.
This not even having 10k views is downright criminal. The amount of talent you have as an artist is incredible. Keep it up, man. You're doing great.
PLS continue doing this. I fully support this project.
Loved the Iceberg Drawing Simulator Saga, but these clips were on ANOTHER level! Please keep doing what you’re doing
Superb work! I can't wait to see more of this amazing project!
Nice to see you here too!
Appreciate it!
@@ChunnyKay Sorry to spam but I'm looking to hire digital artists for different available projects, do you have a business email?
Amazing work!! Wish we could have a remastered 16x9 version of the show one day!
I watched the previous video a few days ago and didnt realize that the channel was a small one, even though your commentary and editing deserve more attention from people who like animation and og fans haha
the results of both the videos are exactly what i imagined they would be
keep it up
Proper drawing posture is super important, as someone whose wrists are crumbling under years of strain.
See if you can prop up the tablet higher so you're not craning your neck, like painting on an easel. Also I'm loving this series, thank you ♥
Didn't realize how important posture would be till a few hours into this. Will look into some ways to prop my iPad up
OH MY GOSH YES!!!!! 😍
Thank you! I love this show SO MUCH and for years I had begged someone would get rid of those black bars and make this widescreen. No cropping the images no updating the animation.
Sigh... This made my night.❤
This blows my freaking mind it looks amazing! Makes me wish the whole show was remade like this
this is the only avatar remake we need
man it’s insane how good everything looks! the commitment to keeping the spirit of the different frames while also changing the makeup of shots when you think it’ll add something makes this so special. glad i found this!
The 4:3 aspect ratio is fire for Apple Vision Pro. It looks like IMAX. That ratio is making a comeback for a reason.
My brain didn't register it was the full edited scene at 2:52. Very well done.
Nick should give you a generous 6-figure check to remaster the whole series in 16:9. You're doing fantastic work
Wow, this is amazing! I especially love the shots where you shifted the position of the frame and agree that it’s a much more interesting composition than if you had just filled out the sides.
In addition to your artistic talent, it’s really cool to see all the ideas, decisions, and creative problem-solving that go into this kind of work. I clicked on this expecting to just see the final result, but was thrilled to see you talking us through the process. This is one of those things where I think the process is just as valuable, if not more than the final result.
If you managed to remaster the entire series this would be absolutely record-breaking and the internet would give you flowers for eternity.😂😂
Bonkers that this doesn’t have more views, keep doing what you’re doing
This is an awesome wholesome project! I can't wait to see more!
this is truly incredible work. the 4:3 aspect ratio always bothers me when i rewatch the show until i get used to it again. wild how you were able to capture what my imagination was doing while watching the show.
Bro thats crazy. If the show was rereleased with this remastered i will watch it all over again in a heartbeat
This is a remake I could get behind. I would spend a lump of cash for a wide screen edition of Avatar: The Last Airbender. A team of animators like yourself could do so much. Maybe even adding frames and image sharpness. The series is already a gem. Adding polish is the only thing that should be done instead of what Netflix is doing.
Forget a live action remake! This is what i want to see!!!!
i need more icebergs, these are rookie numbers. Give us an hour compilation of iceberg drawings or we riot! Growler gang rise up!
this is so good, I’m so glad you played with the framing too! I’m excited to see some extended water and fire bending next!
This is legitimately one of the absolute best videos I've seen from you from start to end.
Excited to see you tackle any Toph or Zuko scenes
This is much better than the first video! It's so great to see that you've listened to the comments and really improved the craft, bravo!
im so excited to see your journey on this insane task, good luck!
I really enjoyed watching you learn these new skills. Please do more!
this is insane in the best way possible, keep it up!
You got yourself a subscriber! Would love to see you continue this
Congratulations on one thousand subscribers! This project is really special, thank you for sharing it with us ❤
i got so excited seeing this in my recommended. So excited to see the journey and your growth. Already incredible!
stuff like this should have been Netflix's Avatar. Give us a fullscreen "remaster"!
specially at 11:32 with sokka's hand, this really shows how much you've improved with your animation. don't give up!! 🙏🙏
I'd so watch widescreen Avatar, hope you continue this series
definitely an earned sub, these scenes look great.
This man proves that an artist doesn’t need any more expensive tools or materials, all we need is creativity and resourcefulness, God bless you man!
I saw your last video completely by chance, it just popped up, and I'm glad you're doing more, cause you did a great job. This is something I've wanted for ages as well, especially after watching korra for the first time.
Omg this is absolutely insane, please continue this project it's so cool
This is just so crazy detailed and smooth , wow
really enjoying the work youve done so far!
I reaaally love your work. Seeing only those few scenes is just AMAZING! Please continue. You're booming! (:
i am OBSESSED with these videos but honestly you've pissed me off just a little because now i NEED to see the rest of the show like this lmao
This is sooooo good
I'm highly considering doing this with Kirby Right Back at Ya, especially since the Blu-Rays were released a few years ago.
Or at the very least, the last 5 episodes that the dub put together to call the "Fright to the Finish" movie to give it a more cinematic wide-screen movie feel!
Great work! I can feel your passion behind this. Keep it up.
I have never even watched this show, but your work is absolutely incredible here. Hope this channel groes a ton
Great job! Incredible work especially for someone without animation experience
This is absolutely astounding, I can’t imagine the amount of work. Hoping your neck doesn’t feel as bent as it did when you were drawing.
this is so satisfying! thanks for your hard work
Again, fantastic work! So inspiring to see a fellow artist just go for it in a challenge, and look at what you accomplished! I'm so impressed. Hope you had fun, and thanks for sharing with us ❤
This is the right thing to do when wanting to remaster Avatar, we don't need an actual remake. And the way you're doing it is the right way. But if Netflix wanted to do this they could easily get the whole show done in a few weeks by simply using ai. AI image extension, or outpainting is surprisingly good
This is impressive stuff. Good job dude!
Man, it is so seamless! I absolutely love it!! Great job!! 💜
you're amazing!!!!!!!! i'm so impressed with your skill progression and your commitment to this project 🥺💖💖
This is SO cool! I’d love to try this sometime
Watching you do this makes me wanna try it out for myself ^^
Looks like so much fun! But you probably just make it look easy :D
BRO, how are you so good at this?!?! Avatar is my favorite show, and you just made it better!
This is nuts, nicely done!!
PLEASE tell me you're making more of this!!!
This was awesome, and I'd be thrilled to watch you continue to improve until you're up to taking on Zuko and Azula's final battle!
Whoa, this is amazing! Great work
This is sooooo amazing!
I'm currently re-watching ATLA and still have some trouble adjusting to the streaming service's awful image quality, so seeing this video is just making me really happy. :D
Keep up the great work! :)
The 10 fps underground penguin slide part is the most jarring for me. It really is missing half the frames.
The amount of time this must have taken you... whoa! You did such an amazing job, i'm in awe lol
So creative and impressive you did it by hand
Honestly looks so great man. We should start like an artist collective and divide the whole series lol
Love seeing these and I really hope that when you do finish the pilot episodes that you are able to show it to the creators of Avatar The Last Airbender and get their reaction and feedback
Not going to lie, this thought of remastering the original ATLA has been in my mind for quite a while. From 4:3 to 16:9 and definetly fix some oopsies that the original animators made (e.g Aang doing a weird twitch after deflecting Zukos fire after his betrayal in the finale of season 2).
Since I do not have the tools or the skills necessary for any sort of animation, i did think of using AI in some capacity with of course the knowledge that hand made is FAR superior (which this and your previous video obviously prove). I now realize that this project, if ever fully realized, shouldn't be made or even touched by AI. What you're doing is astonishing and I hope you continue. Subbed and liked.
This better go viral omg
DUDE THIS LOOKS AWESOME. I slowed it down to .25 to get a slower view of it, and it's amazing how well you made it flow. Subscribed for sure.
omg this is amzing, i didnt see how it could get better from the first video
Whoa this is incredible!! Your level of passion and attention to detail are definitely worthy of this show -- not to mention your art is nearly seamless!
I really hope you keep going with this project! Remastering the full show would take a decade but it would be appreciated by millions, no doubt :)
Some of these are seamless and some have more seams than a building, this is some crazy work though
This is so amazing to see! Absolutely great work, can't wait to watch the first episode as a whole in this way (if you decide to finish it) 😁
Sweet! Much better than the last one! The frame shifting makes the framing much better. Now all we need is a big public Google Sheets document with every shot labeled on the Y axis and a few thousand dedicated fans and we can have the whole show done in no time! Could even turn it into some kind of event where any duplicates are judged against each other.
The improvement compared to the first one is amazing. Way more difficult shots but it works pretty well, considering only one person worked on this.
This better keep showing up at the top of people's feed loke it did for me, this is great work. I would recommend adding finer details in after the point you currently stop, though, just to make the transition evem more seemless. Considering this is only your second video on this, you have tons of time to learn and grow in your animating though. I loved the choice to move the iceberg hopping scene to focus more on the destination, and I hope you continue playing with shifting the current scenes over. This is amazing work!
The good thing about all of your process is that people liked it, the bad thing is that people REALLY liked it. You're going to do more content for us 😈😈😈
What a beautiful project
this genuinely looks amazing damn
wow! hadn't finished the vidoe but that is amazing, the katara and sokka one was beautifully done!
This is amazing, great job!
Keep the work up on this! Love this project!
You're doing gods work my friend
