    Wow! Thanks for taking the time to compile this, kaptainkristian - I was the Assistant Effects Animator on the lamp swinging scene - Chris Jenkins was the Lead EFX Animator and we worked for several weeks with a crack team of EFX inbetweeners on this one scene, having worked out the peaks and troughs of the shadow movement by marking the individual frames off on the Exposure Sheet, sitting at a Steenbeck flatbed editing machine and going through the footage frame by frame before pencil was put to paper. But most importantly of all - London Effects Dept Lead, Chris Knott (largely uncredited in other places) and rostrum camera operator, John Leatherbarrow deserve ALL the credit for developing and fine-tuning the multi-level techniques that made the whole layering of shading (not to mention sequins, contact shadows, translucencies etc) possible - one frame at a time, one level at a time, 24 fps. One of these days Chris Knott's name will go ON that Visual Effects Oscar - where it belongs.

      @andybearchan 7 років тому +4

      Cool World has great art style, but they had limited time, money and support to really make the film what it could have been: an adult horror fantasy. Instead, it is a mash-up of weird scenes, unfinished animation, and nonsense.

    It is amazing that Roger Rabbit felt like he was actually in the same space as the physical characters. Especially when so many CGI elements don't, even when they look more real than Roger, they feel more fake.
    I think a lot of special effects people need to look at Roger to remind themselves what needs to be included to make something feel like it is in the same space.

  • @goombaartist
    @goombaartist 7 років тому +128

    The thing I love about KaptainKristian's videos is that he covers subjects many wouldn't think to cover like Bugs Bunny or Spawn comics. Most of these analysis channels will make videos about the MCU or classic 90's cartoons. Kaptain goes the other way though and does videos about media that you may be vaguely aware of but by the end, you're hooked.
    That is how you know you're a good content creator; when people will watch the videos not because of the subject matter, but for the creator themselves.

    • @davidb5205
      @davidb5205 7 років тому +11

      To be fair, he's covered Superman, Batman, Pokémon, South Park, etc. Most of what he covers is fairly recognizable to your average millennial [1980s-2000s] who grew up in the West. It's not _that_ obscure or vague.

    • @goombaartist
      @goombaartist 7 років тому +16

      Yeah but using Superman as an example, he talks about the Fleischer cartoons. What I meant was he doesn't cover "hot topics", he does do videos on famous properties but most of the time he will look at different aspects of said properties to most.

      Goomboid I agree that's why people come, but its kind of sad too because most people in the comments section clearly have never seen the movie and the same goes for the other videos Kristian makes. It goes to show that a lot of the videos he makes are on underrated pieces.

    I've worked in animation for years. The idea that animators are lazy is ridiculous. Richard Williams is known for his technical brilliance but also for being a tyrant to work with. I've heard a story of him yelling at one of his animators for missing work to see his son being born. Animating multiple characters in a camera move is way more work. That is fine if the company asking for that is willing to put in the extra budget and time for it. In my experience, the limiting factor to how good of animation we can make is budget and time, never the work ethic or skill of the artists. For me personally and most artists I've worked with, we love to "polish the lamp" and make our work as good as we can. However, polishing the lamp usually requires unpaid overtime. By all means, polish the lamp in your own creative pursuits, but keep in mind how much you'd like to work for free to add details that most people will never notice for somebody else's vision. This video is very informative. I don't mean to trash it at all, but I feel the other side of "polishing the lamp" needs to be mentioned.

    • @sorryifoldcomment8596

      Yeah, more like "because *studios are greedy* (and don't give the animation production crew the the opportunity to even try to "bump the lamp," because that requires investing money into hiring [X] number of animators & paying them to work for the necessary [Y] number of hours)."
      In general I hate when animation is shit on, because we know there are movies & shows with great animation...which means great animation is 100% attainable...People know how to do it. The tools are available. The work required to make the good animation is 100% available to be done... *it just needs to be paid for* properly!
      Good animation isn't some "secret recipe" with "secret ingredients" that only one studio can have. It's not a mystery why a well animated piece of media is well animated. The only thing stopping a studio from copying the good animation is...money. They just need to hire a team of animators who can get the same level & amount of work done.
      Now, I do acknowledge that the decision to not invest in good animation is not always just pure greed...sometimes the budget genuinely isn't available (like for tiny studios, or about to be bankrupt studios, etc.)...but the consequence is the same: "Bumping the lamp" isn't finished in time because no one was paid to help finish it!
      You don't get to not pay someone to do a job...and then complain when the consequences of your (in)actions include the job not being done...(or done poorly, because you only hired 5 people to do a job in a timeframe that in reality needed a crew of 10+).
      _(This goes for so much of media production...and all work at this point...people acting entitled & shitting on understaffed, over worked crew that has a job that can't be completed properly in time no matter how much over time is racked up.)_
      Sorry /end rant lol

      You think bumping the lamp or maintaining an eyeline didn't involve any trigonometry?
      Think about all the angles and scaling involved in the animation.
      Never mind all the trigonometry in electrical engineering that allows the practical team to rig up precision servos.
      All this animation artistry isn't just about passion and creativity and being able to "draw good". You actually need math in order to achieve technical excellence.

    Who Framed Roger Rabit is my second favorite film of all time. It takes cartoons seriously and tells a great noir tale. I think Bob Hoskins performance in this film is one of the most underrated of all time. He takes a second seat to the animated ensemble and reacts genuinely to actions he can't even see. So excited this flick got the KaptainKristian treatment. Looking forward to getting to the other side of this rainbow, it's going to be a hell of a ride.

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite movies. It's so timeless and everything about it is wonderfully done. The animation, effects, story, characters and music all add up to create a magical experience. An immense achievement. Also, despite the shortcomings of the animated sequence of Mary Poppins, I also love it's characters, story, songs and overall message, that one should never take life for granted and that you should take every chance to enjoy and appreciate the best parts of life while you can.
    That what I take from those films. Something meaningful and powerful that I'll never forget.

    I find Robert Zemeckis films to be some of the most beloved and rewatchable movies out there.
    They haven't got something hidden in every frame that you have to watch multiple times to get the full experience, like an Edgar Wright movie, although you could make the exeption to Roger Rabbit, because there is something hidden in every frame. Especially love the Road Runner joke.
    There isn't deeper meaning or life changing things in his movies, but they seem to be the most rewatchable in my opinion and when I say beloved, I mean fondly remembered.
    I asked my Mother, cousins, aunts, family in general and Roger, Back to the future, etc... seem to be the most nostalgic movies for them, beyond the classic Spielberg, first R rated experience or even childhood show. Truly fascinating.

    Contrary to what many people may say, don't collab with Nerdwriter. His videos feel very artificial while yours have so much heart, I don't want you to lose that. If you're going to collab with anyone (and even that feels iffy) I would say go with Every Frame a Painting.

      He should do one about how The Matrix succeeded at using anime tropes in Hollywood. Maybe after Ghost in the Shell(remake) comes out so he has a failure to contrast it with like the Roger Rabbit Vs. Cool World, y'know.
      Cowboy Bebop is great and, sure, a lot of anime that followed stole from it but the same is true of Neon Genesis Evangelion... I don't really have a point.

I learn something or I get inspired to do something. Other youtubers that do gameplay videos and other crap like that are nothing more than tutorials, quick laughs, or just white noise while I'm doing something. But this channel is just really good.

      An odd case but I think the movie Kamikaze Girls (Shimotsuma Story-Yankee Girl & Lolita Girl) is actually better than the book.

    The devil is in the details, as they say. And the fact that so much detail went into this movie makes Who Framed Roger Rabbit a modern classic. When I saw this in theaters as a kid, I was blown away by the idea of Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse in the same movie. Today, I can appreciate the amount of dedication that went into making this movie a reality. Not many movies these days put in that same effort and it is a shame.
    Thanks, Kaptain.

    @murraylindsay4163 7 років тому

    "Bump the lamp" is going in my vocabulary! Up until now, I've used a moment from my Art History class when we covered sculpture in the Roman Empire. There was a period when the artists back then really brought their A-game. The example I always cite to encourage myself is this statue of Hercules going in the Coliseum. It was always intended for an alcove rather high up, but the sculptor didn't cut corners on detail at all. And in 360°. The back of the figure was never intended to be seen, but it is fully detailed. So, "Statue of Hercules" has always been my goad.
