      Would he not have a justified reason to do so? His life's work was trying to establish a higher standard for animation but instead his lazy peers' corner cutting methods are being praised for being superior and better looking for no reason other than because they subvert the standard.

      It's like praising Duchamp bidet for being revolutionary art simply because it's different than the classically made art until then, that shit led us to the bananas taped to walls in art galleries.

          Are these 12FPS CG movies meaningfully cheaper to make than regular 24FPS ones?

            Technically it would take more time to render more frames and thus would cost more money, but I don't think the lower framerate has anything to do with budget concerns.
            3D animation has gotten really slick and as a result, a reactionary movement has evolved to try to imbue a bit more grit into the medium. People are experimenting with paint brush type textures and lower framerates etc to make the films feel less plastic.

            You see the same thing happening in a lot of other mediums. People who use photoshop and illustrator are constantly trying to find ways to make it feel less like photoshop and illustrator. Musicians who work digitally either incorporate analogue techniques into their recordings, or do a lot of work to make it sound and feel that way.

            Every time someone does something new that people like, the floodgates open and everyone does it for awhile until it gets overplayed and then they move on.

              Model warping only happens when you animating in maya with motion curves and you let the computer fill in the in betweens. What puss in boots is doing is using no curves but posing the model every frame by hand, to emulate the dynamic posing from anime. If they wanted to they could animate on twos or ones with the posing method, or a mixture, they just don’t want to.

                If you animated those scenes on 1s without a warping effect it would look stilted and angular instead of flowing and rounded. If you animated them with one, well, you'd have weird gross model warping all over the place.

                Every animation done on twos can be done on ones and work, the final outcomes' appeal might be debatable but there is no hard technical issue preventing them from being done at various framerates, even higher than 24 per second if you wanted

                There's no technical limitation in software preventing in-betweens in those scenes, but they would look like shit with in-betweens because the whole point is that the keys are designed with the gaps in mind

                >If you animated those scenes on 1s without a warping effect it would look stilted and angular instead of flowing and rounded.
                Not necessarily it all about how you place the key frames. Key frame positions play a huge part in how dynamic something looks. A lot of why I think Japanese CG animation looks so bad is because they’re key frames are purposefully stilted because they’re trying to emulate 2d with its budgetary holding of poses
                If you animated them with (curves), well, you'd have weird gross model warping all over the place.
                Not necessarily either because Pixar is able to anime light year on ones and twos perfectly. But animating with curves makes it harder to do dynamic key frames because just like tweeting, you can’t hold specific poses for like one frame, because the computer wants to smooth all the frames together.
                >2s work here where 1s doesn't because your brain fills in the gaps.
                Imo it’s more of a subjective thing personally I hate the 3s look, it’s too choppy they need to add more 2s in some areas so its not so Jank looking

                You would have to make the motions in those scenes slower or less exaggerated in order for it to look right with more frames. They can only be so pronounced and exaggerated because there's no in-betweens making the transition between wildly different poses look bad

                In Spiderverse when miles finally learns how to use his powers they increase the frame rate to 2s instead of 3s, and it looks fine there. Even his final swing has a lot of exaggerated movement.

            It's not. It takes the same time to render 12 fps as it does 24 fps. Pro studios don't skip frames even if it's the same image.

                Yes, the source is me. I’m an animation student and have done cgi animation frame by frame. You have to hand pose the model frame by frame, because it relies on special poses. The computer can’t inbetween everything in the way that you want, since it’s so specific. So you have to go in and pose the model to get the arcs and secondary motion that makes it feel fluid. Sometimes though the computer will in between and I’ll go back and change some things to liven the animation up.

      Studio animation is a business, not a hobby. Animation has costs, and those costs have to be justified. Go ahead and become a billionaire philanthropist and fund whatever animation you want.

      You say it's a business but the business went into the toilet until hand-drawn animation ended in America. Meanwhile Japan at the very least has Sakuga and also really cool series like Gurren Lagann which do lots of cool stuff with the art, way cooler than shit like Home on the Range and the Princess and the Frog with little visual appeal
      Audiences preferring CGI had nothing to do with it, probably was just a nice novelty, as you can see by the animation industry tanking AGAIN - we need more of a Richard Williams point of view in animation

      It's not. It takes the same time to render 12 fps as it does 24 fps. Pro studios don't skip frames even if it's the same image.

      Just a lie, if that was true doing higher FPS like The Hobbit would be no problem. They whined endlessly about that because they don't want to take on the higher standards and budget of high FPS Cinema

      He lacked support and animators of his calibre

      It's not a budget measure, moron
      The lack of smooth in-betweens allows for more expressive and dynamic posing/movement on keys without causing a pronounced warping effect on the model in motion

      Yeah I remembered when video games had to slow down the frame rate for animations that look cool
      Industry people just lack the ability to draw cool as you can see here and need to look for crutches

    >Arbitrary 12fps
    By using a lower framerate and individually animating each frame with less or no tweening you can achieve animation that wouldn't normally work with 3D models or with a higher framerate.

    You're simply too animation illiterate to understand what's going on around you

              Claims need to have evidence or sources, that is how arguments work, for example here is Richard himself backing up my claims while directly contradicting yours

                Anon that's a man's personal opinion on 2D animation
                That you think it has anything at all to do with 3D animation speaks volumes

    whats animating on ones and two?

    • 1 year ago

      It means animating 24 frames by hand for every second
      Animating on twos is animating 12 frames a second
      Threes are 8 frames and so on and so fourth

        These demonstrations almost never show the most realistic option, which is mixing all three as the spacing demands.

    There's really no point in listening to the ancient rambling of some boomer animator who barely finished anything, and what he did was hardly appealing. Impressive as it may be, who cares? Everything he did is boring at best and obnoxiously unappealing at worst.
    Lol funny animals and Arabian nights-its all so dated and uninspired.
    Williams would never design anything like FLCL or Evangelion. all the talk about technique and skill only to make designs no one really cares about except a few animation enthusiasts. his girls are pretty, at least.
    I don't care if zig zag was animated at 120 frames per second for 30 years, the character is uninspired and unappealing.
    Frick western animation rules.

    He animated on ones and never finished his masterpiece as a result.
    There's a time and a place for everything.
    I like that studios are experimenting with various techniques to give 3D animation a bit more grit. The low framerate thing is having a moment but after everyone gets their fill of overusing it, it'll go in the toolbox as 3D animation stretches into further areas.
