Cartoon Industry thread - Showcasing the Spergery of the Animation Industry

[I was a Teenage “JA”-man]

I’m excited to see the wave of criticism of Toy Story 5 videos today

the overseas outsourcing practically sweatshops in korea

Since you've actually glad-handed with the industry, what are your thoughts on using AI to speed up the completion of inbetweens? I'm sure it would struggle with the nuances of speed and blurring, but puppet animated shows like Rick and Morty have been commercially successful, and afaik they don't even bother with those principles.

Honestly fine with it, in between shots never looked good to begin with like in anime like those never pause naruto frames + the fact that you wouldn’t even know because ai gets better every year. Was never much a problem with me given I was with storyboarding

and that like you said the majority of cartoons are made now with flash usually is like family guy and rick and morty aren’t very action accurate

Seems off topic but like I think more people should hear it as we all have respect for moving drawn pictures here.

Even as an artist now I see AI like it could be used to help with anatomy and references to help with beginners, like training wheels until the get an Idea in how to draw so many other “creatives?” get upset but thier drawing are usually stiff, or derivative enough anyone can draw shit just go on Twitter it’s not like they painted “the fallen angel” like I have respect for people like a great friend of mine who draws analogue and is hardline against digital because of how hard he works for his craft. Could be said with people who did 2d at the turn of 3d, + humans still make shit for the majority of movie history we can’t blame there wasn’t a human mind behind it

For as much as animatics are popular on YouTube, it'd be kind of fun to have a show that actually doesn't finish the animation and is all storyboards/roughs. Imagine going insanely all-out for ONE scene then everything else is literally just the boards. Talk about saving the budget for the action sequences!

ngl I was on a HUUUUUUUUUGE storyboards kick for a long time
iirc I have the continuity scripts for Akira, Project A-Ko, the first volume of Eva tv storyboards, Tenchi in Love, a few Ghiblis
Akira's are fucking NUTS, Otomo basically draws a slightly-rough of the key frames
Eva was interesting to see how they were changing shots basically until broadcast, like the whole "shinji wakes up, then the fight" wasn't in the storyboards, Ghibli is what you'd expect, but there was a nice craftsman-getting-the-job-done aspect of "stick figure with twintails = sasami"

Where'd you find those? I saw some pencil tests for Akira on YouTube, it'd be cool to see more of the process (same for Evangelion).

I think defending a guy who was involved in a group that tried to murder police officers isn't a good look

Ah so that was what was left out of the post he was part of a group that tried to murder law enforcement.
