"Nobody cares about fluid or smooth. You want great acting, you want good jokes, good stories, good characters." That single-handedly is the best message an animator can give. While looking good and smooth is nice, the facts that bring life to the animation are what matters. Genius Mr. Tartakovsky.

@Gadget-Walkmen Жыл бұрын

@@dice8372 That's true but the story, characters, and writing is what ultimately what holds everything together! There are plenty of animated movies and shows that have PHENOMENAL animation quality that looks gorgeous but it falls apart and not really watchable because the story isn't not compelling enough. Comic books/manga are the same as well as there are manga and comics with fantastic artwork but with a underwhelming narrative and writing, it has brought down the whole experience as the visuals are not enough. Live action movies and shows are the same way as well as. Visuals are important to bring everything to life, but it's not what carries people along to know what's what.

I was told something similar by a professional artist who does comics. “Your art can honestly be mid, but what really matters is the characters, the plot, the story, etc.” don’t get me wrong, I’m sure having a basic understanding of how to draw Something nice is good, but that advice has really helped me not worry so much if my poses are a little Stiff or my background can be more detailed.

My own opinion, mind you, but I'd classify physical props as armatures - the harness for the articulated stickmen references animators keep around, or to pose action figures - or whatever is utilized for stop-motion. All the skeletons, skins, and control systems used in virtual 3D animation, I'd call that rigging. Just my own thoughts.

@@stormtempterf8058 I got a significant laugh out of that section as well. To hear someone who's been in animation for so long and seen a fair amount of success in it say that rigging is pain was just hilarious. Ironically enough I got into Animation through character rigging and love both but there have been days where rigging has me contemplating my existence.

@stormtempterf8058 Жыл бұрын

I started my education as a generalist, learning a bit about everything, but I gravitated to rigging because it was less...artsy? There IS an art to it, but it was less about creative output and more about solving a puzzle for me. How to setup this model for the animators in the best way for movement, physics, the animator's control convenience, etc. My weakness was that my coding wasn't good enough to fill in the gaps that 3D creation tools couldn't do out of the box. I'm in operations at a company now and pretty happy, more puzzles to solve XD

8:17 this is the best advice I have listened since years about drawing OCs, I always am so perfeccionist about drawing the characters exactly as the original concept when it would be better to just do stuff "the wrong way" sometimes so it can transform to what it really wants to be. Thank you master Tartakovsky

As an animator i love how he explain things effectively and shows a lot of his interesting experience and make people easily understand it. Somehow its hard for most people to understand this job where it basically just draw a story etc. What a legend

The whole thing about Dee Dee and Dexter's appearance evolving with the storyboards was so interesting.

One of the all time greats! "PRIMAL" was such a delightful surprise, and I can't wait to see how "Unicorn Warriors Eternal" pans out. That being said--MORE "SYM-BIONIC TITAN"!!!

His shows are an example of how profitable but timeless animation is as a medium. It’s better than just your childhood, it can grow with you as time passes on

Love how serious and dedicated he was explaning his storyboard. Other people would have laugh making those sounds, but he knew how serious and essential they are to understand the narrative and tone of the project. He is a hero. Thank you for the video.

Samurai Jack and Star Wars the Clone Wars were some of the major reasons I wanted to become an animator!

Responding the Armature /rigging question . Armature are the base joints that drive the character. They move through the controls by the animator, and building this structure with controls and other multiple nodes that at the end drive the armature is called rigging.

This was beautiful and I loved the three blind archers episode as well. The other was where Jack was facing off as light against dark. Such control of sound really grounded me. Even at the age I was.

Watching this as an artist is such a gift. Its reassuring and seeing someone so great who made such fantastic universes cover questions like such is inspiring, if not enlightening.

I love Genndy and wanna thank him for making every boring afternoon fun. His cartoons were the ones you’d think about after watching, I would pretend to have an infinite lab full of experiments. I think the stories that stick with you are the most successful. 💛🗿

WTF In 1 second this man sketched a more expressive character than I can do with a solid minute. If I understand correctly, the "rigging" are the points that can be moved, and the "armature" is the frame that connects those points.

Dexter's Laboratory is the reason I (30 yrs later) have a Lab vs a guest-room. WIRED has to do a xx levels of difficulty on animating so that this guy can give us a glimpse of the complexity.

I grew up watching Samurai Jack and always had a fond memory of it. Just last year, I started to watch the original seasons that aired on TV. Even though i'm now in my mid 20's (!!!), the series still holds up to this day. The show at times, explores mature themes that you wouldn't understand at a young age. It's only now that I could appreciate the deeper meaning within certain episodes, that also offer this beautiful simplicity considering the 20 minute runtime. I highly recommend it to those who saw it in younger days, to watch it once more. I think you'll appreciate it in a new way :).
