    Terrible fun fact about Bambi! An animator or someone on the team found a dead deer one day and brought it into the studio and began disceting it to see how the muscles worked! The animators hated the smell so much. Like the guy would say "come here! you really gotta see this!" and the animators responded "noo thanks! we can see good enough from back here." (This is from Working With Walt or Working with Disney both books by Don Peri a man who interviewed many old-fashioned disney animators including Frank Tohmas, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, and Ben Sharpsteen)

    Fun fact, the oldest ever known animation is in cave paintings.
    The best example I know of is in the Chauvet Caves in the South of France.
    My favorites from it are the animals with extra legs so that when the light from a fire moves against the bumpy rock wall it looks like the legs are moving with the flickering light and shadow.
    Most of this artwork was painted 25, 000 to 27, 000 years ago.
    So yeah, animation rules and our ancestors knew it.

    Holy shit this might be the best animation I’ve seen on UA-cam. No exaggeration. It’s incredibly smooth and well put together, colored well, the explanations and deconstructions of the different processes of animation are insane. Just looking at backgrounds has me stunned. The animations of animations are so well done that it’s hard to believe this is on UA-cam for free. Amazing work to James and the Odd1sOut team!

  • @okapi77yeet

    14:12 Studios used to do this all the time. My animation professor bought a horse for DreamWorks while the movie "Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron" was in production so they could see how horses moved. The horse he bought ended up being the one DreamWorks based the protagonist off of. While the Lion King was in production, Disney animators took a trip to Kenya for inspiration and even got to see wildlife (mainly lions) up close so they could understand their movements. The point of animation is to make something as life like as possible, hence why using actual real references is very important.

    • @emmakane6848
      @emmakane6848 4 місяці тому +22

      This reminds me of the four different kinds of mud Pixar animators played around with for the cars movies.
      It’s almost like studios have recognized that life model drawing ‘in the wild’ helps to produce a better more realistic output.

      To get the results theses guys did without the ability to undo things on the fly and properly preview your work had to have taken mountains of skill.

      How did y’all even afford school like that, I always wanted to do animation or something similar, I couldn’t go to college because I guess I got screwed out of my diploma in high school, a resource officer had an issue with me and decided to arrest me for damn near doing nothing wrong in the first place. I’d have to look it up but I’m pretty sure that not having a diploma doesn’t necessarily stop you from college, if there is that loophole I’ll use it for sure.
      I just remember for years and years I was told to finish school first, that diplomas do affect your ability to work certain places.
      But that’s why secondary dreams exist I guess, if you can’t achieve your first dreams, let it go, the second option is always there, and it goes to show how neutral, uncaring and cold the world is.
      At one point we signified unity and love above any type of physical attachment like money, even then the traditional barter system would’ve lasted a real long time had it not been screwed with and changed to “oh now you ‘buy’ shit with a standardized currency”.

      @@noahrhebb4759 take my advice with a grain of salt since i'm not a professional animator, or someone who ever plans to be, but a lot of jobs in the animation industry prioritise your skill and portfolio rather than your qualifications! plenty of animators are self-taught and while it may be harder to find learning resources it is a viable option if you want to get into that field.

      @@noahrhebb4759 Hey!!! I don't know if you know but most animators today are self-taught and anyone can learn to do it for free. I started animation as a hobby in 2016 and I haven't paid a penny for it. There are also a lot of my friends who are professionals and they didn't go to school either. UA-cam is full of free high quality tutorials and a lot of animation softwares are free. If you want to try 3D animation then I think the easiest way to start is Source filmmaker (bit outdated program but easiest to understand) but if you want more of a challenge and better quality then Blender could be good! I'm not familiar with 2D animation but I know a program called Krita (a drawing program) that supports 2D animation too. don't give up on your dream if school is your only obstacle, because animation (and the creative industry in general) is one of the few careers you can learn do without going to school!

    As an Animation and Illustration student I can confirm that our animation assignments are sometimes absolute pure hell to go through. For our stop motion assignment we had to create a landscape model for our characters to walk on, create character designs with feedback, create said characters using plasticine, create a billion of storyboards to figure out the pacing of the short and then finally animate the god forsaken miniature characters whilst praying to god we wouldn't squish them with our hands. All this with a deadline of one month.
    Since then, I give my upper most respect to anyone who does any form of animation because I sure as hell didn't like doing it.

    A kid in the 80s, I wanted to grow up to be an animator. That’s why I was digging your Don Bluth Land Before Time reference. I learned all about everything you covered. Then I graduated in the year 2000 “ish” (it really was 2000). I remember going to MGM Studios on Christmas Eve, and seeing their “animator” draw the latest character they were working on, some film about a Hawaiian girl who loves Elvis and has a pet alien for a dog. He talked about how he wanted to be an animator when he grew up, but since they were wrapping things up with 2D, he ended up there. I remember telling my mom that night that I no longer wanted to be an animator. It was Christmas Eve, and this poor guy was stuck there entertaining tourists. The rest of the tour continued where you got to walk around watching people actually animate movies in real life, only no one was there. They were all about CGI. 😢

      @@rudraksha7298yep. I didn’t really know much about Elvis’s influence on the island at the time, or how much of a deal it was, since that he was also essentially welcoming this former island nation into our country as its 50th state. Nor did I know about this girls tragic backstory, and how her albums probably once belonged to her dead parents, so his music was a way of keeping their memory alive. It was definitely odd, as usually Disney had made movies that were mostly public domain fairy tales, or other stories.
      But I recall watching them animate Emperors New Groove at that very studio tour, and thinking that was a bit odd of a story as well. So it was very unsettling to see the space where so many animated masterpieces were once made now sitting unused. It was also like, 3 months after 9/11, on the biggest Christian holy nights, at what essentially was the symbolic icon of Americanism. As I recall, the entire spaceship chase scene through the Hawaiian mountains was actually originally supposed to be them in an airplane flying dangerously close to city buildings, while they attempted to rescue Lilo. None of which was edited at that park.

      ​@SpectreKritical Rendering is not a part of the 3d animation workflow until the animation is actually done. Also, rendering on the hardware we have in this current day only takes about 15 minutes for 30 seconds.

    I love that James has learned to animate literally anything silky smoothly but still chooses not to animate proper mouth movements (most of the time). Not a problem, just something kinda funny.

      it's similar to mario, even though Nintendo spends a bunch of money making mario games, the jump animation is still 1 frame. it's not because they're cheap it's because it's iconic, people recognize it. if one day mario has extra frames on his jump people won't recognize it's mario. same way how if the James's mouth always move smoothly it'll look like any storytime animation. people has just gotten used to the old way that it has became iconic

    Also in the dog man book series theres i think like 2 pages in every book called a flip-o-rama and when you flip back and forth between both of those pages it creates something kinda like an animation

    I remember in third grade watching a documentary about how Disney made films in the 30's and 40's and ever since then I have always had a huge respect for animation.
