It's such an amazing book, right? It's so awesome to hear about someone else appreciating. Ollie Johnston was such an inspiration to so many animators. I feel so terrible about it, but I don't recall if I actually saw him in person or it was a video I saw when I was very young, but I recalled seeing an old animator when I was a kid and I saw his hand shaking and I thought that he must draw left handed. And I was so surprised when he sat down to draw with his right hand! And the drawing was absolutely flawless. My mind was completely blown. Again, I was much younger and I can't recall if this happened in reality or on a screen, but I guess it doesn't really matter, the lasting impression he had on me has stayed with me decades later. Ollie was a great man and incredible artist.

I'm so glad! Thank you so much for watching!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

I had to piece it together from different sources, animation sites, disney released info from the 80s and 90s. After going through enough content I started to actually feel comfortable enough picking out his work. Milt Kahl's as well. I still have a tough time picking out Frank Thomas though. But no, Disney has never put out a comprehensive list of who animated what. They only stated that such and such animator worked on such and such film or short.

@@disfarers Thank you! Pretty involved for a vid like this, but I think it makes the video so much better being able to SEE what they animated specifically! I'm surprised Disney has never put out anything specific themselves, but at least those sources exist for ya! Video might've been longer, but it's basically THE comprehensive history on this guy at this point in video form! Awesome job!

Yeah, it's a good short piece made with very little money.

oof. I know. I hope to make an episode about how that project's script went so off the rails. It was a mess of a situation.

LOL

Keyframes are frames where the action is the most extreme. The number of in-between frames dictates the timing of the actions (set by the keyframe animator). With just the keyframes you can get a sense of the entire animation with the need for in-between frames. However, the in-between frames make the animation look smooth. A lot of this will be covered in the Fourth of Walt's Nine. A person's eyes don't pick up on keyframes. In fact, in extreme animated movements, the bones will go completely beyond what would seem reasonable, but when viewed as an animation as a whole it somehow works and makes for great movement. I hope I'm making sense. I'm on three hours sleep today from working on the next episode. I appreciate your watching and commenting. I watched 75 percent of your episode from Thursday but I just haven't been watching my television in the mornings like usual this week. But I enjoyed what I've seen so far. I'll be sure to comment soon.

@@disfarers thats good info! Wow! Do you have a background in animation or just learned doing these documentaries? Really love learning about Disney history I’m looking forward to making more beach videos those seem to be hot, pun intended! Most of our subscribers came from part 1 and 5. Just dropped a new video that one will give you some entertainment!

I just saw that you had a new episode up and I still haven't even finished the last. I'm so behind. I'm not surprised the beach episodes are doing so well. There are places across the country that are dealing with cold weather that it must be nice to watch the sand, waves and sunshine. I have a four year degree in animation, but only worked as a web animator for a handful of years right after college. That's why I'm more proficient in the animation stuff. Initially, I didn't even think about covering attractions and rides, but I just went where my interests expanded. If I want to learn more about a Disney ride, place or what have you, I just make an episode and dive into everything about the subject. What makes you cover certain places you go to?

@@disfarers Pretty cool, I always wanted to do something in the entertainment business with art or video production. I sort of missed my calling and now I’m tinkering with KZfaq trying to make a name, LOL. I love that there is a platform like this! My day job has nothing to do with the entertainment business. Tonya and I have a “super small” side video business where I actually claim as my job since that where my heart is.. Really my love of all Disney is for that mentioned there, the entertainment and art aspect of it all. Anyways to answer - what makes me cover certain places...? Not sure yet, I currently picked places that I feel is interesting, that I think others will respond to. First, I love camping and my first intention was not to make videos or KZfaq about it, but it did come to me after a few trips and getting ideas on other videos. My channel is still in diapers right now so I’m sure I’ll change my angle as I figure stuff out. This year we have a variety planned and I’ll see what is most interesting to others. I also like the idea of covering hidden campgrounds that you don’t see much on that has great reviews, 411 river rest was an experiment to see how that may fare. In the end what I’m truly after is to have a huge following that just enjoys our journeys in camping and reviewing the places we go and help other new and old campers choose wise places to spend their time and money on, or where not to. Like I mentioned I love to entertain, I have made videos since I was 9 years old. I always love giving joy to others through my video work. Ultimately, I am eligible to retire with a full pension in 6 years and I plan on doing this in my retirement and traveling the country RV camping, reviewing, and bringing fun entertainment to all. On another note: Did you happen to have a bad channel week last week like me? I got a message Wednesday that said views for Tuesday was underreported. Sunday before, for example, I got 1,300 views on just Camp Gulf part 5 alone! At one point it showed 130 views an hour for that one video. The whole channel got more than 3,000 views and a gain of 33 subs on Sunday the 18th! A lot for me! I never experienced I felt like I was going viral! LOL! Then, Tuesday the 29th it flatlined, went to 60 views for all videos for the whole day! Did not get any subs from Mon-Thursday until I got 3 subs Thurs night from the 411 video. Then this past weekend after that I only gained 4! What in the world YT?? Worst Fri-Sun I have had since Dec when I had no content. Then Tuesday this week I final got 7 subs and Wednesday I got 5 subs, which again is a lot for me, and I call good days. So bizarre, you ever experience anything like that? Should we just email back and forth? LOL.

I can relate to not always understanding how things work on youTube. I think of them as always controlling the floodgates. Sometimes they open and sometimes they shut closed. I've heard of other content creators that are literally a thousand times larger than us explain that if they stop posting episodes for as long as a week they see their channel come to a complete standstill. However, with a monthly channel like mine, I typically see the same traffic, more or less week in and week out. That doesn't mean I don't see the floodgates suddenly open wide and I suddenly get thousands of views from out of nowhere. It doesn't completely make sense from a creator's perspective on how youTube works. I've had episodes that I know should have done amazing and had excellent click-through rates only to have youTube seriously slow impressions by as much as 90 percent. Then I've had videos that didn't do well on release suddenly surge to tens of thousands of views 8 months later. I've tried to chase what I think an audience will like, but it has to go through youTube's filter which seems to be impossible to foresee. The only thing I can say I've been able to purposely accomplish is raise my man to woman ratio to 50/50. For awhile my women ratio was at a steady 10 percent. And I did this by making episodes about certain topics that also interested me besides animators and attractions. All of this to say, my opinion is to just do what keeps you interested in what you're doing. If you go chasing views or subs you'll eventually drive yourself bananas. I remember my first real episode hit really well. My Space Mountain episode hit 90k views over a winter holiday break. I got about 800 subscribers. Everything seemed fantastic. But then it slowed down. I started checking my channel way too often. I stared in disbelief while my next video's numbers stagnated after it's first 100 views. There's just no telling. Then out of nowhere, several different episodes surged out of nowhere, like I said, months after the fact. The way I see it, I enjoy what I do and no matter what the extent, the channel is always growing. As long as I'm having fun and things are steadily enough growing, I have no complaints. lol youTube knows what it's doing.

lol I saw your other post.

@@disfarers lol

I'm so sorry. It's so tough having to deal with people that bring things down.

@disfarers thanks for that..my birthday is March 31st. So I look forward to going to Disneyland for my vacation and meeting Tiana and I hope to meet her. Thanks for the support.

It's so awesome that you got to go to Chouinard! I'm not going to contest how you pronounce it, the place merged into California Institute of the Arts in 1970, so there aren't many that could correct how it's said. All I can say is that I listened to each and every one of Milt Kahl's and Marc Davis's interviews that I could find and I listened over and over to how they pronounced Chouinard, then I would pause and practice over and over saying how they said it. Back and forth repeating like that until I felt comfortable. I honestly fought hard to say it like them too. My natural tendency is to say it "show-rin-ard" (with an extra "r" in there). In the next episode where the school comes up, which is relatively soon, I'll double check myself though. Thanks for looking out and helping. And hey, thanks so much for watching too!
