    *For the novices of animation history:*
    The caveat to tracing live-action movement is if you 1) purchased the copyright of the footage so you own it or 2) filmed it yourself (e.g. recording a friend or yourself performing the desired movements). That’s what _rotoscoping_ technique is, and has been done legally in animation for over 100yrs (pioneered by the Fleischer Bros in the 1920s, and regularly used by Disney animators)

      i dont think its worth to learn to animate nowadays. Sora Ai is coming soon and it will surely dominate the animators

    • @plainlysimple
      @plainlysimple  7 місяців тому +4

      You’re so welcome! Glad you liked it! And don’t listen to people saying it’s useless to learn animation because of Sora 😄 So here are my thoughts on that:
      1. Saying sora will replace animators is like saying canva will replace graphic designers?
      2. Following this logic then every person with a camera should become photographers. But not all people with cameras are photographers.
      Sora is a tool. And if resolves ethical concerns it may become a good tool to use. We’re honestly not bothered by it.
      So continue to learn animation! 😄

    It's a really good show of character to not only try to understand where everyone is coming from, but to also recognize your own personal flaws and how they help you to relate to a situation. Not enough people are willing to do that, so kudos to you. Edit: This comment was supposed to be sent to a different video but UA-cam is so broken that it ended up here instead. This video is great regardless lol

    This was just great - you packed this with so much useful information. Really well done. I love what you said about "the longest way being the fastest", it is so true, and it also seems to produce a much better result, in particular, because of how free you can be when rough sketching. I have also tried skipping the process and have gone right to starting with polished frames and I have been so focused on making them perfect, that the result becomes very rigid and void of personality. Terrific video, Marvin 👍

    Even if it exaggerated, an object it still needs too feel lifelike.

    If you wanted to texture the shadows (assuming the colour is flat) you can duplicate the layer and use an extract to essentially solo that colour then add on like a blur and a noise alpha to get a sort of grainy look.

      Glad to know that. 😊 Yes, frame by frame animation can be very intimidating. But it's less scary if you take it one concept at a time. Then you'll realize that it's not hard, it's just time consuming. And the more you animate, the less scary it becomes 😊

    Hi! very imformative video! also I just wanted to make the highlights effects simpler, you can just use "layer styles" and then choose "inner shadow" you can change their blending mode to color dodge or any mode you prefer, its a perfect and simpler way to get that look, plus you can use it for lighting and shadows as well! I hope this helps. I love your videos jeep it up!

    • @plainlysimple
      @plainlysimple  Рік тому +1

      Hi! Yes that's another way. That's actually a good way too! 😊 I still prefer the alpha mattes method, as you can control it more freely and even scale or distort it when needed, and it's quick if you want the mask inverted. But if you just want the highlights like the one I showed in this video, then your method is much simpler and quicker to do. 😊

      It depends cause anime is still all hand drawn basically with only the good anime using cgi for difficult stuff which is fine I personally think that ai will never be able to replace animation for a long long time I do think maybe centuries in the future maybe but right now I think ai can maybe replace short ads and still with small animation but full like anime cartoons stuff like that never or incredibly long time
