I have deleted the comments to avoid further embarrassment about missing a knowledge so well known. I hope you have a nice day and I wish you success in your creative endeavors.

      Well.. it won't. Its charming and beautiful and made it unique.. but you likely won't see this technique being used again because it still too time consuming. Major animation studios will stick to 3D. It's much easier to reverse this process and do the other way around. Meaning using 3D and make them look 2D instead of making 2D look 3D. There are quite a few incredibly good looking 3D animations that look like 2D paintings out there at the moment.. even on Netflix.

      @@NyeMechworks I get what you're saying, and I sort of agree, but GPU tech has come a long way in the past few years. It used to take tens or even nearly 200 compute hours per frame (Finding Dory was, like, 152, iirc) because ray tracing takes time.
      They used rendering farms to speed that up to make rendering a movie only take a few weeks.
      But since that movie came out, Nvidia did this little thing (and AMD has followed suit, but with a different approach) where they added ray tracing cores and made ray tracing possible at (now) over 60 frames per second.
      Granted, ray tracing light by itself is easier than the full scene, but just making the hardware good at doing those kinds of calculations means a re-render of Finding Dory would take far fewer compute hours, and thus 3D rendering may catch up with skilled animators in the next 5-10 years if it hasn't already at the render farm scale.

With all the other Disney movies, the only sequels they have ever done were straight to dvd ones, which were also cash grabs and had smaller budgets. Although I do agree that I’d like a 2D remake, but I know they’ll never do that since they declared the last 2D movie they’ll make is princess and the frog unfortunately

    There’s a certain charm in the characters that 2D brings which is difficult to replicate in 3D. And I believe it’s in the extent you can over exaggerate and warp something. 3D while you can exaggerate things there are very rigid boundaries you can’t break as you can’t break the model. With 2D your more free to break boundaries and twist the forms. The mixing of both is wonderful as you can use the use both mediums to their full extent to compliment each other.

    • @tubester358
      @tubester358 2 роки тому +21

      I think the main things is that getting too creative with 3D animation requires a lot of extra manual labour, sometimes frame by frame, which at some point might just defeat the purpose of using 3D instead of 2D, artists have to manually add in all the imperfections that create that charm of good 2D animation. I think it's hardly worth it for most movies (worked great for Spider-verse), but in games it's pretty great & useful when done right like Arc Sys's current fighting games where they add things like smudge lines and deformations in the character animations frame by frame for a 2D-looking game with a 3D camera.

    • @AllyGatorAnimator
      @AllyGatorAnimator 2 роки тому +8

      Hotel Transylvania is probably the closest I have ever seen 3D animation come to 2D in regards to exaggeration and the main reason why is because the director specialises in 2D animation anyway. He was literally drawing over frames saying "exaggerate it MORE" and it was notoriously hard to do. It paid off though.

    • @Exsulator2
      @Exsulator2 Рік тому +4

      As a 3d animator myself, I'd like to say that we really could go in frame by frame and distort the 3d character if we wanted to. It's just not very efficient and rarely asked for, but technically there's nothing stopping us from doing it. But I think part of 2D animators process is very carefully considering each frame and making it beautiful and also being less distracted by realistic movement (since, you know, fewer frames makes it easier to get away with "unrealistic" movement), wheras in 3D it's more about the movement itself, rather than making beautiful single-frames. In 3D there's a lot more frames anyway, and with mathematical precision of movement you can have "micro-movement" which 2D animation can't really pull off. Actually now that I think about it, 2D animation kind of requires bigger spacing between drawings to avoid the "uncanny" feeling of imperfect/rotoscop-feely imitation of 3D.

    It really kinda hurts knowing that the general public won't really appreciate just how revolutionary this is. To the layperson, all animation is just bundled under the catch-all "cartoons". It pains me. It does.
    I love animation. I love it in all its forms, in all its artistic beauty. I love hand drawn, stop motion (and its subvariant claymation), CG animation, hybrid animation combining CG and Hand Drawn elements, European, Japanese, American, indie, theatrical. From creators like Disney, Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, Aardman Animations, Katsuhiro Otomo, Richard Williams, Ralph Bakshi, Satoshi Kon, on and on and on.
    Animation to me can tell stories in a way that no other medium can. I want nothing more then variety to return to animation. While CG is beautiful and deserves to stand alongside the other forms of animation, I do not feel that it can truly REPLACE the other sorts of animation out there. I see no reason why traditional animation, and animation meshing both elements, cannot coexist.
    It is true, there was a string of prominent traditionally animated box office failures shortly after the turn of the millenium, Atlantis, Titan AE, Treasure Planet, Home on the Range, and others. But few people criticizing the movies said it was because of how they were animated, indeed, the animation was often considered a redeeming factor in most reviews. It seems like at the time, these projects were being deliberately sabotaged by their own companies to help bury traditional animation so they could move on to the cheaper and faster CG animation.
    Thankfully, the tide seems to be turning as of late. Disney has been reviving its traditional animation with new original series like The Owl House, Netflix has been backing projects like Green Eggs and Ham and of course Klaus as seen here. The rise of youtube has given the independent animator an unprecedented access to an audience for his or her work (I pray to god that COPPA does not undermine that, COPPA is a disaster that should be repealed immediately, write to your congressman)

      2D animation is simply to labor intensive, especially this one, for how beautiful Klaus looks and no matter how many awards it won, the movie was a financial failure
      Into the Spiderverse is a way better approach, basically the opposite of this, it uses cgi for most things and a bit of 2d animation to clean things up, however the final look is almost the same for only a fraction of the labor

      Toy Story 4 is beautifully animated and is one of the most realistic animations ever. The story I thought was gonna be bad but it actually does a good job. It focuses on Woody and gives him a good character arc, and concludes a long-lasting franchise in the perfect way. The colors and bright and charming and everything just works. Klaus, on the other hand, is uniquely animated and stands out with how aesthetically pleasing the graphics are. The colors and drawings look smooth and beautiful, and the story is unique, charming, and emotional. It's a hard choice to be sure because both are of equal quality.

It makes it seem so much cooler, and it brings so much more individual style and personal touch to it. As someone who is bad at sketching but has some skill in shading and lighting and enjoys the practice, hats off to the animating team of this film. We need more like you, to prove animation isn't just flat color or semi-realistic CGI (with unrealistic faces/heads/proportions but everything else looking normal. Why do they go for realism and then make people's heads look weird? Or their hands 1/5 the size of their face. Sorry, I'm just particular about this stuff.)

    I love this. This movie made me feel really nostalgic bcus it is made in 2D. I mean, when was the last time a 2D movie was released? While watching it tho, i did confuse myself if i was watching a 2D movie or 3D movie that looks like 2D. So i hope to see 2D movies back in the cinemas again.

      Other than japanese anime, try song of the sea.
      Oh, if its japanese anime, do try to find studio ghibli product. Recommended movie would be;
      Grave of fireflies (if you like sad ending)
      Totoro
      Pom Poko
      Mononoke hime
      Spirited away
      Ponyo
      Other anime is usually presented in tv serries (so it could be fukkin looooonggg) instead of movie.

    So if a studio gets a deal with a big publisher and reaches a mass amount of audiences and makes something we miss and haven’t seen before, it could be a hit! Don’t let this opportunity pass young talented people, it is only you who can bring back 2d from its former glory.

      Yeah but when creating and lighting a “reel” 3D movie it is all 3D, while this was created as a 2d and then lighted to look deepened: sure both are illusions but the first one was created as a 3D and the render makes it kind of an illusion as you say but that’s where the difference is. The illusion in Klaus is that 2d created characters look 3D modelled while they’re not 🙂

    • @BiggiN483
      @BiggiN483 4 роки тому +2

      Yes, I realise that, but a 3d model on a screen is still 2d, cleverly lit, animated and made 3d by software that creates meshes that give a 3d illusion on a 2d surface. As long as the screen does not bend it stays an optical illusion. You just work in a simulated 3d environment. It's not actually 3d.
