When war is your main character.. but you dont even show it
Lets talk about The Last Airbender's art direction and why it is so good.
In this video, we delve into the captivating world of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and its recent adaptation on Netflix. Through insightful analysis, we explore the intricacies of animation techniques employed in the series, from its fluid martial arts choreography to its vibrant elemental bending.
As we navigate through the narrative, we examine how the show's characters, including Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko, are brought to life through masterful animation and character development. We discuss the significance of their arcs and the impact they have on the overall storytelling.
00:00 intro
00:50 the origin of Avatar
02:40 the identity of each nation
08:40 conclusion

Incredibly sad how an animated show was focused on how shots are staged, when the live-action disregards it completely, going for generic angles.

Wow, this is your _first_ video? 😮 I would be forgiven for thinking, "Good video. I wonder what other subjects this person has covered?" only to find out this is it. The visual presentation is amazing. If I had to point out a flaw, and one that you're probably aware of, it's that the audio is rather too low in average volume and of markedly lesser quality than the visual presentation. Even then, I'm not complaining. This is your first video, after all. I can't wait to see you do hour-long deep dives on whatever interests you.

This is why I'm not too worried about the next Avatar series. If the earth avatar is going to be from a modern or futuristic world, then they'll definitely take ideas from their original draft of the show. They probably have cool ideas from that time that we haven't had the pleasure of seeing yet.

The anti-war message was really in the zeitgeist too. It felt powerful to flip between Avatar and like, morning news coverage of the war in the Middle East. Both live action remakes lack that urgency.

@victordayet Ай бұрын

I really like that you made your video about avatar with the same screen aspect ration as the series itself. It makes me feel like I'm watching the show instead of an analysis video.

Videos like this prove why Avatar: The Last Airbender is perhaps the best animated series ever created, and far surpasses the quality even of other live action series made for adults!

You touched on a lot of the creative and art decisions that made the show wonderful, would love to hear you go more in depth about them. Especially the bit about culture, with war being the antagonist.

Hey, I can tell you worked a lot on this video, so I was hoping if I could view your script for this video. Its almost like a very fluid essay, each point connecting to the previous. I want to take inspiration from this video to understand other aspects of the show, and life in general. Thanks!

Hey friend, just binging through all your content after finding your channel (Congrats on the breakthrough with the Serkis video ;) ) I would be curious about some of the sources you use for your video. Would you consider posting some of these in the video description? The interviews and videos of traditional martial arts were particularly interesting to me. Best of luck.

Hey man, I just want to make a suggestions and not trying to hate. To me at least it’s very apparent around 5:15 and 5:30 you repeat the same line almost verbatim. I haven’t watched finished the video before commenting so I’ll let you know if there’s any more, but trying to work on that would help a lot. Great video so far, the only thing is literally the way one thing was said and the with this being a new channel I think it’s an amazing video. Good luck and keep at it.

I have to say, I hated the adaptation. I thought it was the overuse of the Volume, but it's the cinematography as well. Thank you for your insights on the original.
