The first time I ever learned about bad jump cuts was when I watched the movie Eagle Eye. I was a teen and didn't understand film editing very well then, but I at least knew that no single cut in that movie lasted longer than 2-3 seconds, and the shots were INCREDIBLY rapid and disorienting. Like, legit! If anyone here wants to feel overwhelmed by shots, watch Eagle Eye and count how long every cut lasts. Guaranteed you'll feel how hectic the edit job was for that film.
@Deliveredmean42 2 жыл бұрын
That is s till a common problem with a few films, the excessive cuts really feels like they are rushing things. And oh boy when film editors tries the Michael bay approach in cuts is really bad. Especially true in a fighting scene.
@maxis2k 2 жыл бұрын
My big eye opener were the Lord of the Rings films. Yes, everyone loves them. But the action scenes hurt my eyes. Endless shaking of the camera. Zooming into the face so far, the weapon they're swinging isn't even visible in the shot. And yes, jump cuts everywhere. Many scenes I couldn't recognize what was even going on until I had seen the movies 2-3 times. Aragorn swatting an arrow out of the sky? Couldn't tell because the scene goes from a super zoom in of his face to a long shot of him swinging his sword, then a zoomed in shot of the Urukai's reaction. And it's all in like 20 frames. Of course, things got worse as time went on. With guys like JJ Abrams, Kurtzman and Michael Bay as someone mentioned. Star Trek Discovery might as well be called "Star Trek Jumpcuts."

As someone whose action movie experience was mainly through Hong Kong cinema, I was never cursed with the knowledge of bad jump cuts until I saw a clip of Mulan 2020. It was the chicken chase scene. There was so much going on that I was consistently confused and dizzy from the action
@icecreamhero2375 2 жыл бұрын
1:45 One thing that helps me remember that is characters don't move until their legs move. Also never move the camera arbitrarily always have a story reason for every camera shot/ movement. A character has a zit. Extreme close up.

@zadayaz 2 жыл бұрын
a way i saw someone explain cutting between shots once is that they should always have a motivation or reason behind them, similar to how every larger scene should have a reason for why it exists. Like cutting in close shouldn’t happen just for the sake of it, it should be used when you want to do something like emphasize a characters emotion or reaction, or draw the viewers attention to something specific. this is a such a useful video, gonna look out for a lot of this in my own work!
@MicahBuzanANIMATION 2 жыл бұрын
That's so true! I've also heard that a tip for deciding cuts can be done at the script stage. Any time there is a complete thought, that's a shot. Any time there's a "and" in a sentence, that can be another cut. It's just like how we explain one main idea at a time when talking, visual language can focus on one main idea per shot.

In many ways, it is! It's just important to remember what the end product is going to be when creating these boards, cause they're the foundation that you're going to build your animation on; don't forget that those shots will be animated
@franciscobello1519 2 жыл бұрын
Some key distinctions though... comics storytelling is also about page layout, positioning of text, shifting sizes of frames. The eye can pause, linger on an image. Art can be far more detailed. The comic page is the destination! Not so in boards... the aspect ratio remains same shit to shot, images are meant to read fast, page layout between individual frames isnt a story factor, and the destination is the screen, which deals with TIME in a very different way than comics! What they have in common is visual, SEQUENTIAL storytelling. If u wanna do a deep dive in what makes comics storytelling unique from pov of FORM, check out YT channel Strip Panel Naked.

I appreciate the examples that show how something is done well versus incorrectly. It makes it much easier ad more effective to learn from and make improvements! Also, I've heard horror stories where the storyboards were directly used for the animation due to time limits or not enough budget, resulting in poor results like High Guardian Spice (opinions of the show aren't applicable here, I'm just using it as an example) suposedly had to do. I could imagine how this puts pressure on a storyboard artist to make something more polished than topically necessary and end up storyboarding based on what they themselves can draw versus what the animators and background artists can do (and are taught how to do).
