>because they have real bones and muscles
That's because the studio straight up cheated, they used hidden rotoscoping for years on the "realistic characters" and grounded sequences. Virtually every scene in their first feature length movies was rotoscoped with ballet dancers, vaudeville performers and acrobats depending n the scene. For backgrounds they would make a 'tone scene' where they took actual photographs of a place, which they would transfer differing parts onto little glass plates to move at differing speeds, which were then blown up by master finishing artists into giant glass plates in the disney style for moving or panning scenes.
They managed to keep a lot of this secretive until the late 70s.
Oh shit he's alive. Good to see him back, it's been, what, almost a full year since his last video?
I was eagerly expecting that "and now you know everything except you're lost" to segue into a Skillshare ad.
I can't overstate how disappointed I was to see the Kaptain staying pure and not shilling for a hyperaggressive marketing campaign.
I'm assuming this is saying that he's written 29 videos over the course of 2018, planned for 2019.
Because he sure as heck hasn't released many (any?) this year, and I don't see him putting out 28 more videos in the span of 3 months.
Unless he's spent the past year recording them all and intends to dump them out every 3 or so days.
"cheating" :v
If you watch the presentation and the behind the scenes of the flims, yeah, cheating. The studio presented that their animators and staff were 'just that good', even to other professionals.
Holy shit, he's back! I really missed this channel's videos.
According to a Reddit post from their account a few months back, the hiatus was from some personal issues that came up but I think they still intend to release the 29(!) videos.
Check the date of the tweet, it was made on new years. Yeah seems like he's written 29 videos, but they were meant for this year.
If he's gonna meet this quota, then he'll have to put out two vids a week. Certainly a weird choice.
So there's still time!!!!!
Well to be fair, Disney did do some of the best rotoscoping I've seen (which isn't saying much).
dude if you can't spot roto when you see it you aren't a "professional"
Except a lot of the animators on the Disney team also objected to rotoscoping and considered it "cheating".
That said, I feel like most people would be fine with reference material. Using recorded video as a guide feels more like painting portrait of a bowl of fruit you have sitting in front of you. It's the tracing that a lot of people object to, especially when it's portrayed as free-hand.
In fact, I feel like a lot of folks have more of a problem with the "covering it up and denying any use of it for decades" part than rotoscoping itself.
It's cool that your specific fair 'trade' in pseudojapanese art makes you into Jordan Peterson jr esquire, but if you considering you're talking about 2018 and I'm talking about 19>15<-1970 maybe you can dial the smug back enough so you can actually get both the point and context, cause you aren't even close to the right castle sir knight.
While prancing around on your trusty steed maybe you read you some books and watch some documentaries, because you're conflating disney circa 1995 to the present with a very different disney.
jfc
i agree with you, but you're being a colossally smug dick about it
I think his original schedule was two weeks, wasn't it? So, it wouldn't be absolutely unheard of at least, not that I'm counting on it as of yet.
this scene is a really good example of what I'm talking about

like, it's obvious that snow white is rotoscoped. No one who has any experience with animation is going to miss that. Her proportions are perfect and undistorted in every single frame, her body is steady while her clothes and hair flicker around her, her facial features rotate with her head perfectly, like it really is obvious. That's what I mean when I say no professional could ever miss that this is rotoscoped. I'm pretty sure most people could tell if they were looking for it.
But still, compare it to something like
https://youtu.be/IvW6WOUt5Ro
and it's obvious that rotoscoping can be done better and worse, and isn't some way of "cheating" out automatically good animation for less effort. It's a technique that requires effort and skill, just like anything else.
