A few people might remember that <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/cgi/rgb-xyz-2749.html">Cartoon Brew covered it</a> back then. <span>A friend entered it to the Berlin Film Festival on my behalf so I took it offline as per the rules. It premiered there in 2008 and won a special mention. This was the first time I had a film in a festival and my mind was blown. Most festivals rejected it but it went on to win around 5 other awards.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span>Even though parts (all) of this are hard to watch, it was a huge learning experience for me. I established a lot of things that I developed later on, like realtime rendering, mixing ortho & perspective, playing with subtitles, and more broadly trying to bring emotion out of as few polygons as possible.

The clips on the left basically isolate the motion and allow us to see and compare it clearly - without design, color or sound distracting our brains.</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><a href="http://davidoreilly.com/post/44683359919/timing">My last post</a></span> showed how motion-contrast was something that evolved over time. These examples show how motion, as it’s own aesthetic, eventually branched out into different schools of timing. Each one is a refined method of representing movement in a stylized way. They don’t strive towards realism, their beauty is in how <em>un</em>realistic they are while still communicating ideas. They are all solutions to the same problem: how does a character get from one place to another.</p> <p class="p1">Animation schools are extremely dogmatic about teaching essentially Disney timing, the 3d animation we see in the cinema is just a continuation of these old principles. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but theres so much else to explore. A lot of (dumb) people dismiss South Park’s animation, but it’s an education in minimalism. Richard Williams’s style (the 2nd clip) is obsessively smooth and floaty. Anime uses very few drawings and feels choppy and solid.</p> <p class="p1">Hopefully this shows you that animation is basically music, theres entire genres of motion if you look deep enough.</p></p>http://davidoreilly.com/post/44795290855http://davidoreilly.com/post/44795290855Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:35:00 -0800gif<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/eb24d0e5fbb9d1b18e728a4f886d819d/tumblr_mj80ickNOh1r6625fo2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a889ff9dbcc9f1d7dbec7aa75bf8e523/tumblr_mj80ickNOh1r6625fo3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/29b6c3c240054c3f163aeaebcf8204d2/tumblr_mj80ickNOh1r6625fo4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6781855ef2eec8ba77d9c473034f4a4c/tumblr_mj80ickNOh1r6625fo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><p class="p1">Not sure if this is interesting for you guys. </p> <p class="p1">Around 6 years ago (gasp) I did a bunch of lectures on animation theory. One subject was how textures of movement have evolved over the years, alongside the more obvious progression of design.</p> <p class="p2"><span>I made these videos to illustrate more clearly how contrast in timing was something that has a clear progression from the 30s to the 90s. The timechart below each clip represents relative change in space between drawings - from the ultra linear early animation - to the soft bouncing of Classic era Disney - to the exaggerated Warner Bros style, brought to it’s peak by John K (in my opinion).</span><span> </span></p> <p class="p2"><span>Sorry about the quality on these gifs.
