Whenever Adam does stuff like this is must be nice for the creators, he really appreciates and understand what they are talking about and gets them very engaged. Must be better than trying to explain it to a random journalist who doesn't care.

Always loved Aardman Animations. Superb introduction to behind-the-scenes of part of its' creation production. A superb insight. Truly skilled individuals. Never again will I watch an Aardman Production without thinking of the processes, the team, the resilience, the investment, the quality, the ideas, the artistry, and professionalism that goes into what has become an icon in the animation profession in UK. Truly wonderful.
@jaxnean26636 жыл бұрын
You can love cgi as much as you like, but there is something, something my mind perceives when I know that what I'm looking at exists in the real world. Something that cg will never deliver. It's like when I was a child watching The Wind in The Willows stop motion show. I received it differently from a drawn animation. I'm not hating on cg btw, it's a fantastic tool, it's just that in my opinion it will NEVER beat stop motion animation. Would you prefer collecting digital figures or the actual thing?
@ricochet1886 жыл бұрын
They're totally different styles. Not even comparable. Neither will "beat" the other... except cg could very well replicate and surpass (and it currently is) the look of hand animation. See the Lego Movie? That looked hand animated in just about every way except it wasn't... think about that
@Lumibear.6 жыл бұрын
I agree, and I think there are many good reasons for that. One is, as you say, that when something exists in the real world it simply automatically has that sense of real-ness. Secondly, a very good hand animator knows how to get mass, gravity, and tiny thoughtful inflections into their animation, something an awful lot of keyframe or smoothed-out CGI animation struggles with and the primary reason why the CGI on Jurassic Park still stands up today (they used hand animators using special ‘electronic skeletons’ to input the animation into the computer). Thirdly as our media becomes ever more higher definition, CGI struggles to match the level of detail required to look ‘there’, and with every advance there comes a moment where some previously acceptable CGI now looks worse than something our home gaming console could do, obviously real objects don’t suffer from any of that.
@Benjamin_Kraft6 жыл бұрын
I'm sure you're not hating on cg, as you've stated, but still I think you don't realize the massive capabilities of cg. I have no doubt in my mind that if a studio wanted to, they could recreate an Aardman-like film without anyone knowing it was done in cg. Yes, even down to the animations. As previously stated I think the Lego movie more or less proved that, if they hadn't revealed that everything was cg, people would've had no problem believing it to be stop-motion animated (I sure thought so for a while). Thing is people only realize they're looking at cg when its bad, and thats about 5% of the time or less (like big realistic characters/creatures etc) or being told it is cg. I love stop motion movies, I adore traditional 2d animation, and I'm so very fascinated by cg that I'm working as a 3d-artist in the industry. All these methods are perfectly valid ways of creating art, which artists can chose from based on their preference. But I don't think there's a specific magic to any of those methods, and not being magical or intangible, those processes can be broken down, analyzed, and copied by skilled cg artists and computers. I still think it's awesome there are studios persisting in making movies traditionally, though. The craft/method of creating such movies is a separate art of its own to me.
@Lumibear.6 жыл бұрын
Benjamin Kraft - aardman have done a fully cgi animated movie, called Flushed Away, it’s pretty good, but it doesn’t pass as the real thing. Equally they do use cgi to add difficult to achieve effects like fog, or remove support armatures and facial seams and such, and it was used to change the ending of Attack of the Were-rabbit to give Wallace his normal ears back (he was originally animated with bunny ears). So they’re no stranger to it, they just prefer to do it the old fashioned way wherever possible.
@Conman123Official6 жыл бұрын
+Lumibear "a very good hand animator knows how to get mass, gravity, and tiny thoughtful inflections into their animation". Key words: a very good hand animator. You can't compare the best of one field to the mediocre in another field. That's like comparing two restaurants by the head chef in one restaurant to the intern in the other. The main point is that you only notice CGI when it's bad. Another example is Mad Max, Fury road. People love to use it as an example of how practical effects are better than CGI, but they don't realise that the movie is actually full of CGI; they just don't notice it because it's done well. I found the best video about this topic is by Rocketjump film school: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLJmm9Npp7GmYmg.html (Why CG Sucks (Except It Doesn't)). By the way, I'm not all on the one side here. I agree that most hand animated movies stand the test of time better than CGI movies (I can't stand to watch movies with dated CGI), but as Benjamin Kraft said, it isn't right to compare them directly - they are different art forms, and both can be done well or poorly.
