    My animation teacher complains that anime is stiff; using still frames a lot like in this example. Meanwhile, American cartoons are pretty much always moving even if they're not doing much. This video made me realize why; the Japanese industry has a higher standard for their pencil tests. Most 2D Western cartoons never bother with shadows & have simpler designs than anime characters. As a result, western animators can afford more frames (2's instead of 3's) & can focus on adding more movement; because they don't have to spend as much time on each frame individually.

      Japanese studios are often making shows with much less resources and time as well, on higher budget productions there is nothing stiff about them.

      Yep, that and the Japanese crunch more and have to fit tighter time constraints because animation is HUGE in Japan and they are constantly cranking it out. Whereas traditional 2D animation in the West is sort of an archaic thing thesedays. Only kids shows and raunchy adult shows do it anymore.
      So the Japanese really need to cut corners (like with the god awful PS2 CG thrown in) to make up for the overall better looking designs and more detailed art.
      Japan draws art but makes it move like a stick figure except for important moments and shoves very obvious 3D models in for anything too large. America draws hideous dog shit abominations with no detail but damn near rotoscope the characters with how smoothly they are animated. Both have trade offs.

      I realized something similar with manga and comics. Comics usually go for color at the cost of detail depending on the release schedule, and manga (not always) goes for more detail and no colors. Plus no colors is cheaper.

    My biggest pet peeve about animation is how 2D animation is considered passé or childish in the west, so we always do 3D even though it's way overused and all ends up looking pretty much the same, at least to my eyes. There's only so many ways you can render hair. That, or we do live-action, which isn't bad and requires a lot of talent in and of itself, but all the same. . . Just give me something different. 2D has so many more opportunities for _motion_ and _personality._ It's why I love Summit of the Gods so much. The art style and animation on that movie is jaw-dropping, but it gets so little attention.

      2d animators are unionized but 3d cgi artists are not 🙃 you may know this but others might not, but a lot of "why are we doing THIS now instead of THAT, because that looks so much better!" can often be traced back to what industry is or isn't unionized...

    Western animation applied to the Japanese style of anime is probably the best. The animation is smooth while the figures are sharp. Interesting combo but works pretty well I think.

    • @arsenhere7020
      @arsenhere7020 Рік тому +41

      @@gregoryford2532 That's definitely true, but that's sorta the style. If you go watch some old disney animations (the ones that were drawn by hand (not 3D animated or using rigs) you can see that same effect. The blinks were very graceful and deliberate, which was intentional, since back then they animated disney princesses with big pretty eyes and wanted to exaggerate the effect of the blink. While the Japanese art style (anime) wanted to have sharp and fast movements to keep up with the crazy intense fights, which was something disney never really had in 2D animation.

    • @pubcle
      @pubcle Рік тому +11

      I think there's a lot of styles when you actually dig into it, but if we're just going generic, I probably most prefer classic American animation or late 90's Japanese animation.
      The thing I REALLY dislike about modern Japanese animation is that so many characters' face, especially if they're boys/men, look the same. Most of them have the noses fused into the face, the chin is a young, narrow one, the brows the same, the eye placement the same, the mouth the same, etc.
      I think Genndy Tarakovsky's work deserves a lot of attention and inspiration drawn from it, if just in the use of contrast and lines.
      If you want smooth, some of the old Disney stuff was ridiculous. I mean, Alice was entirely rotoscoped in Alice in Wonderland. They had a young girl dressed as Alice model every single movement and then traced it frame by frame for the effect. It never has a still frame either. American animation focused on keeping characters looking lively and moving in some small degree.

    • @obnoxiouspedant

      Something about modern animation I don't like, iis the marriage of 3D and 2D seen often in anime. I understand certain things can be a huge challenge for the animators, andd using 3D for certain things (cars for example) saves on production time and cost (I assume) but it just takes me straight out of the scene, always sticks out like a sore thumb. ​@@pubcle

    It blows me away. Obviously you're a highly skilled artist and animator, and yet even for just a simple, simple, simple demonstration you had to speed the footage up quite a bit just to illustrate one single part of the body animating. *HOW DO PEOPLE ANIMATE ENTIRE SEASONS OF ANIME??* Like it's gotta take them AGES, right?? You sped up your footage SO MUCH, and you animated a fraction of a fraction of a percent of what's animated in a whole season of anime. I can't imagine how long it ACTUALLY took you without all the video editing, let alone how long it would take to do a whole SEASON.
    This stuff just absolutely makes my brain shut down.

    Really cool!
    When I animate a blink, I have the open and closed eye positions as keyframes, and then my inbetweens are as follows:
    Open eye
    Open eye with the upper eyelid moved down just a tiny bit
    Frame that is exactly inbetween open eye and closed eye frames
    Closed eye but squished down/stretched horizontally a bit
    Closed eye frame
    Frame that is exactly inbetween open eye and closed eye frames
    Open eye frame but upper eyelid is slightly higher
    Open eye frame
    I find that this gives the eyes a bouncy, lively effect. Of course, it isn't realistic, but i like how it looks :)

    This video was super helpful!! It was very interesting to learn what was common in anime and in western animation. I do really like the "out" sorta curvature the movement has on the western style (following the next frame closer than the previous), but the snappy movement of animating on 3s looks so good! Maybe in the future, I'll try to implement a mix between these two styles. Thank you for the video!

  • @BreezyDefrag
    @BreezyDefrag 2 роки тому +207

    I have watched many of your videos, and I love them very much, but can you go into a bit more detail on how you decide to break the parts into their own separate timelines? Maybe I'm just missing that step due to how quickly you move through the steps, which isn't a bad, but it does sometimes feel like a cooking show. Sort of the 'now we will need to cook this, but I have already prepared this in advanced...' kind of thing.
    But yeah, how do you decide what should be in Layer A and what should be in Layer B, and is there a master layer where all the parts are drawn together into a solo layer or do you still keep them separate? Perhaps that's what you mean by the Tie down,. I don't know, I am still rather new to all this. Like I said, I may just be misunderstanding the breakdown. So if you could explore that more, or perhaps send me to a video where you go into that more depth. It would be much appreciated. Again love you videos, it is nice to see industry standard skills outline.

    • @JoyceW-Art
      @JoyceW-Art 2 роки тому +31

      I think in this case he's put everything in layer A, except for the eyes, which are in Layer B, cause that is the only part that is getting animated. That way you only have to animate the eyes and you draw the body just once. It saves a lot of time and effort.
      Tie downs doesn't have anything to do with that. I think the Tie Down is when he makes a more clear and clean drawing from the sketch. I think you can compare it like going from sketch to lineart. At least that's what I take from this video.
      It would be nice to see it explained in detail tho, animation can get messy quite fast, so organizing your layers and folders can be really helpful

      @totally_not_a_bot 2 роки тому +11

      The tie-down solidifies the drawing and tells the colorizers which areas should get which color as decided by a master palette. Splitting the animation into separate chunks is a judgement call. Minimize effort, or, be lazy where it counts. Only the eyes are moving, so only animate the eyes. For simpler things, you might split the background from the character, for another example. Krita's manual has a good example showing a simple walk cycle. Krita is an art program that kinda does everything. The workflow is similar.

    So interesting. At Disney and DreamWorks on 3D films we have the closing in-between favor the open position for a slow-in (first 'anime' example). On the release to open though we usually have 2 in-betweens with the first favoring the closed position and the second NEARLY fully open, but not quite, for an slow-in, ease-out. Holding the closed for a minimum of two frames is 'typically' the default since our rendering software's motion blur may actually lose the closed position if it's all in constant motion. We definitely add in more since it's less labor intensive to do so. I had no clue the 2D Asian 'anime' style favored one key over another when compared to the 'west'.

At the 6th frame stretch the eye exaggerated and then return to starting base after the hold frames you did and done.😊

    I proudly say if nothing else my blink animations are top notch.

    This is really helpful! I have the clip studio paint software but the animation is hard for me so this will be good practice. I hope to be in the animation career someday so this helps a lot.

    This is very interesting to me, because this is so different from how I animate blinks!
    I usually don't animate eyes on twos but rather on ones as I personally think that eyes are one of the most important parts when it comes to expressions, so it should be an eye catcher.
    For a blink, I first have a frame that is just the opened eye but stretched up a little bit, then I have an inbetween frame which is more open than closed.
    The next frame is then the closed eye, but stretched downwards a bit, ans then it snaps back to the normal closed eye in the next frame.
    Then I have an inbetween frame which is more closed than opened. The next frame is again the stretched open eye and then it goes back to the normal eye.
    So in total, my blink usually uses 7 frames on ones, but this makes it look smooth and snappy, and I am usually very happy with the result!

    Animation = having a literal character rig tattooed on your brain and being able to move that rig around on paper, also spacial awareness stuff

    How I learned to animate blinks was:
    The first frame; normal eye
    The second frame; closed
    The fourth frame; half open/half closed, make it look weirdly sensual, sometimes. lol
    The fifth frame; normal, open eye

    I know I am biased towards the anime style, but seriously, the snappiness of the BLINK just works better than the smoother animation in my opinion.
