woah that’s so cool that they let him improvise; i wouldn’t expect that from disney since they’re so strict and corporate and stuff.

@@StarSCTEBunToaster Andy Martin has played on over 350 movie soundtracks including the trombone work at the start of monsters inc. He is a session legend as well as a top west coast big band jazz player. Very much the safest pair of hands you could get in that situation.

Hoyt Curtin's Johnny Quest brass section

They did the same with Coco - filmed a professional guitarist playing the songs and then copied the finger movements when animating

@@StarSCTEBunToaster technically Pixar, Disney just owns them But still, in Encanto they animated almost every single musical instrument correctly, so they can do it too.

I think they did both I could be totally wrong though

I think they used motion capture for scenes that involved instruments, that or Disney has pretty talented animators.

@@MFSTheClutchGod i mean, they did make Beauty and The Beast, so most likely both

Yeah .... They did not do motion capture. Or tracking. I am a 3D animator(don't bother looking at my KZfaq channel everything is private). Pixar doesn't do motion capture. What they do is referencing someone from multiple angles. If you are a animator with previous experience with an instrument the better, but if not you still study the movements you put the keyframes copping the timing of the reference, then you look at the arches you can exagerate, then add anticipations, the correct ease in, ease outs and that's it. You adjust the curves for the automatic in-betweening that Maya makes. Its a really well though and manual and suttle exaggeration of real life, motion capture can't do that

@@angelharris3727 O

My band director would be equally mad

Same. But not for the same reason. She made me play the drums for 45 min straight. No pause, no dropping the beat, no changing the beat, no using anything but base and snare for 45 min. I don't even play drums. She'd yell at me if I even thought of doing anything else but the basic beat. She's propably single handedly responsible to why most of my classmates chose to quit instruments.

@@eclipseifynightsong my band director would have been mad at everyone but would have also started teaching her personally after classes, my band director/music teacher was very much into looking for talented students and helping them hone their craft. my brother and i were among them, i learned violin while my brother learned the acoustic guitar, and she actually scouted us after we went for extra-curricular piano lessons as a club activity after school, we were slow at learning the piano so she had us try other instruments instead. unfortunately she passed away just a year later due to gross malnutrition (caused by an unverified illness).

The fact they got the scoops were impressive tbh. Trombone finally getting more recognition in the film industry makes me joyous

no one cares tbh @@SecreteRed

@@NDTimmy_0to be actually honest, there's at least two comments before you (that you're responding to) showing that they care.

I started band this year and play trombone and I wanna be a jazz trombonist :D

@@NDTimmy_0i care. you must be a fun person to talk to :)

they filmed the musicians while they were recording so they could get it right, my dad knows the double bassist from soul

@@fnibbit ok.

@@fnibbit that’s pretty dope!

Bro no need to lie. Its inhuman to visibly match noises in an amimated movie on your first viewing.

@@4guysinatub286 They did mostly point out the drums. For all you know, they know how to play the drums. When someone practices an instrument for that long, they can look at others play and instantly pick it up even if they've never done the song before. Who knows, maybe you are right.

It all started with Coco.

they should’ve asked a middle school lol

@@alex_exists My husband was in our high school marching band. Seriously talented groups of kids that really aren't given enough credit

@@minakiel2930 I was in middle school orchestra (first year) and our concerts were surprisingly good, granted, we were playing some fairly easy pieces, but it was really cool to see that we actually cared enough to make it good.

@@MarsheIIo That was my experience as well but it seems like it’s not the norm. We played in many competitions but were the only school in our category because of the difficult repertoire. The other schools would’ve done a great job at playing badly 💀

FORRRREALL it’s actually so relatable I cried

My guess is that they wrote a script that moves the slide within relation of what ever note is being played and then they cleaned up the animation. So much more efficient than actually animating the slide by hand.

Yeah, super sad that it didn't get nearly as much attention as other Disney movies like Luca, Encanto, Turning Red, etc. Soul is my favorite.

@@tatteryt Yeah, it had more _Soul_ put to it.

@@goldfish425 NO SHUT UP YOU MADE ME LAUGH

yess! i totaly get that

fard is a substance that is made of poop the poop is brown and mushy which is converted to air buy our butt and we toilet it in toilet.Fard is exothermic subtance and is very hot and smelly

Yeah in a way I do that too when I'm singing. Such a beautiful feeling. Nice to see it in a movie like that 🥰

At least when they actually try. For every Soul, we get a Toy Story 4 Incredibles 2, Lightyear and the good dinasour and onward, was it? I know those crappy cheap messes pay for the good ones, but seriously, what was the last good Pixar movie before Soul, Coco? And we haven't gotten any good one after Soul. At this point they have as many crappy ones as hits.

Damn you’re in school band? My condolences

Computing system as in a program or did they seriously create a whole new OS??

@@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa I’m not a huge computer head so I’m not sure, this info is from a behind the scenes I watched I’m an animation class I believe. Pixar and Disney often create their own animation software and mechanics to handle bigger tasks, but the nerds there are the best in the game and no doubt have the intelligence to do either.

@@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa As a software developer, when we refer to a computing "system", we are referring to a suite of related software, not necessarily an Operating System (like Windows).

@@duetopersonalreasonsaaaaaa it is called an algorithm. as in, they created a new algorithm to calculate movement.

Is this any good if the story is not that great? Other than a few minority of people, no one would have cared about the piano weight and all but everyone cares about the story and other stuffs..not saying its not appreciable but disney movies are strictly for kids other than a few..

Most Pixar animated instruments are inaccurate… watch any of them playing piano

@@dandogamez yeah, but not in Soul

@@gerrard1144 yeah Soul was definitely an exception

@@dandogamez almost like the entire movie is based on a piano and finding soul in music

@@HomeTVPS5 Then there's Sing by Illumination. *Sigh*

@@inaseparatesky yes the music is amazing and the show is generally a good drama but its also sometimes slow and a bit boring but then… BAM AMAZING SOLO

what abt studio ghibli

@@PilotCharlesCalvin I'm not actually sure how accurate their instruments are, but I can't really think of too many examples of someone playing an instrument in a ghibli movie. To be fair I haven't seen one in years.

Idk what studio it was but kids on the slope is the best animation of instruments ive seen

I mean this movie was about music so no shit lmao

That's only for reed instruments and even then, they don't put the entire mouthpiece in their mouths.

@@theresachacon1122 unless your one of *those* kids as a Bb Clarinet player, this is very true With Brass, they tend to forget that the mouthpiece is on your lips- And with Woodwind, they just inhale the mouthpiece, when the closest you ever come to doing so is when playing high notes, of which you have to bite down farther in the reed, but even then half way is the absolute max Pixar did so good with soul it’s amazing

@@berries.0f.blu3 my brother used to put half of the mouthpiece of his flute inside his mouth

@DOLLHAUS 🎗 it was a recorder flute, so the one you blow directly into:'). In his defense, he was a beginner but still lmao right

@@plobclop I- you- huh-? With a flute your mouth doesn’t even touch the mouthpiece 💀 I think your brother was on something- Edit: my dumb brain didn’t see the other comment saying it was a recorder flute, I just thought of my immediate knowledge on flutes seeing as I’ve tried to play it multiple times :)) Edit 2: apparently I forgot how to spell (this is a 3rd place spelling bee winner… how tf did I get third-?)

Not a musician

no they dint

I think it’s really important to note that although Pixar is part of Disney, this is Pixar’s stellar work, not Disney’s.

john baptiste??? thats crazy my section leader has a flute made by him/his company

I believe Pixar has almost always been the pioneer of 3D animation from a technical perspective. Though maybe they have fallen behind in originally of ideas or complexity of the story (To me, Elemental feels like the romantic plotline that was scapped from Zootopia), but Pixar walks out with new technology so other can jog.

Disney couldn't choreograph a fight to save their stocks in the market.

The reason for this is that the last time they used motion capture, the Academy denied the film from being nominated for Best Animated Picture (although I don't remember which film it was.)

@@ctyoung0271 they never used it, if i remember happy feet used mocap and won over ratatouliie which didnt have mocap and was just a better movie overall.

That makes sense, for an animated movie, you kind of want some elements of cartoon movement, and animators can convey body language in ways than real people have a hard time replicating (and vice versa).

@@bigtonybruiser RATATATOULIIE LOST TO FCKING HAPPY FEET!? OMG THE LACK OF RESPECT

masculine probably wasn’t the best word to use, but i couldn’t think of anything else.. ive always seen trombones be associated with guys

That's good! The trombone is a beautiful instrument.

I was the only tenor sax in band until I taught my friend to play it so she switched from clarinet. No instrument is masculine or feminine. True, most of our brass were boys but many of them were friends before band who wanted to hang out. The most notable trombone we had in middle school became a drummer in high school and was even better (he switched because of his friends being in percussion.) I think of him almost every time I see a trombone though. He only had a finger (technically two fused on one side) and a thumb on each hand and knowing he could play an instrument or two at such a young age for me really showed me how inclusive music can really be. It also cemented the reality of if someone really wants to accomplish something, nothing will stand in the way as long as the person themselves believes they can. Don't give up your instrument because you are worried about what it implies. Love the experience and if another instrument catches your eye, feel free to try it. I took piano lessons in elementary before I played tenor and when I stopped the latter, it was because I had no soul; I am a technical player, which doesn't work well with jazz.

When I was in band class the trombone player was a girl lol. The only other person I've seen play trombone in person was my friend will, and he had that perfect pitch thing that let him play and tune every instrument.

It’s because males have larger lungs than females, but my brother’s old marching band had a few girls doing the wind instruments too.

all children's content gets comments disabled

Oof sorry about that, I hope you get real big some day so you don't have to deal with these kinds of stupid issues.

There are some trombone players who might agree that trombone can be hazardous to one's health.

well youtube is prettty darn low iq (read:stoo-pit) with censoring. they don't process report quickly and kept on disabling comments on a whim. there are videos where youtube just decided "you know what ? I'm gonna take away all the audio in the video", and the audio wasn't even copyrighted music or anytthing, all pure original from creators.

Pixar

Well, it's just that many people who happen to be executives or directors didn't care about these details, so there you go

Because a more often than not , the animation doesn't actually match what is being played...

"the only thing the animators need to get right" I know you aren't a 3d guy but what the film does ain't easy by any means, they have to articulate the rig down to each finger joint 30 times per second of animation

U don't know what you're talking about lol making it sound easier than it is

Tbf, the character is like 12 years old. It could have been intended to show that while she's good, she's still learning and her technique still needs work.

@@BambiTrout yeah that's true bro

Yeah the "real life" world is more interesting than the soul world

I know. I play trombone for the school band and one of the other trombonists always slouches, bends over, and puffs their cheeks to play which ends up making it sound horrible, quiet, and unintellegable.

exaggerated for the cartoon effect maybe

It’s a technique called rotoscoping. When done right, it can make musical scenes look incredible. There’s this anime called Kids on the Slope that does rotoscoping, and the animation on the instruments is fantastic.

@@Caddynars i didn’t know that! Thanks for the info.

No shut buddy

Also, look at Malawi lee McDonald

Most people do not care that much about music. Just singing and poetry.
