🥺THE CUPHEAD SHOTS ARE AMAZING!! You should totally tell us about how working with Netflix Animation has been, great work 🎉

Hi, I'm a complete beginner to the node view. Which exact nodes did you plug in to your shape layer?

Thanks a lot for sharing this information! I just got a little question though, Cartoon Saloon is using Moho quite a lot from what I understand. How did that affect the cleanup process in my fathers dragon? Was all the cleanup done in Moho or did they mix it up with different software when it came to cleanup? I’m asking because the process of working with vectors is sometimes a bit tedious

Amazing video! Clean up always frightened me because of how much of a massive undertaking it is but these steps make it a lot clearer and it seems more exciting to me now then before!

So wait a sec... your example of the Beauty and the Beast rough animation clearly shows major distinctions between the roughs and the clean-up. And I was always under the impression that the rough animation had a 2nd rough pass that covered more details than that. But your example suggests that the clean-up animator isn't just a technical role, but rather someone who has to impart their own stamp on the character's performance by introducing any number of on-model details, secondary actions (like with the detail around the Beast's mane), and the final overall appeal of the character. Do I have that right?! If I do, then the term "clean-up artist" REALLY undersells just how powerful a role in production it is.

What about the coloured Disney animation outlines? I want to know how they're done.

I've been trying to keep up with my animation project and I struggle a lot with it because it overwhelms me, but all of a sudden you said “The amount of frames I'm going to draw per day” and my mind went crazy. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT'S WHY I GOT OVERWHELMED, I DIDN'T HAVE A CLEAR GOAL PER DAY

awesome.

Fantastic analysis, thank you for the breakdown!

Thank you for sharing! This was super informative!

I was never really paying attention to this profession, clean up animator/artist, I was aware of it ,but never focused on it. And here I am getting one of the best examples on what keys and breakdowns are. I have downloaded your video for safekeeping just in case YT does something weird.

This is really gonna save me, as I'm about to get into an animation studio using very similar type of 1940's expressive and dynamic rigged characters. Thank you a ton man, this is an amazing job!!!

I clearly have a LOT left to learn, way more then i thought when i started learning animation

What I supposed to do: listening about cleanup What I'm doing: crying because of the lion king music

I love hand animation. But isn't this kind of work going to become obsolete soon?

He’s my favorite Disney character!!! Sooo underrated though 😢

This is awesome!

Thankyou somuch,,,,great tutorial..subscribed...waiting for more tutorials especially the once wherein krita is used....

such a great video, incredibley helpful thanks for your hard work marc

You voice help me to fall sleep dude

One of those Tarzan clean-up artists, Diana Coco, was a teacher at San Francisco's Academy of Art University and I was lucky enough to take her clean up class. She was BRUTAL but I learned SO MUCH about animation in general, and clean-up artists have my eternal respect.

worst ranking ive ever seen in my life

I’ve always wanted to see how 2D animation clean ups worked! This was so interesting to watch

Thanks for the video!

Something not many know clean up artist used get pay half of what an animator made. So load more work less pay.

Animator's survival kit is a horrible book from the educational standpoint. i don't know why people praise it so much - either because of the peer pressure or because the book is just unnecessarily thick, so they think it consequently tells a lot; but it's not. "Timing for animation" tells the same things and maybe even more, but it does so 3 times faster (around just 90 pages) and with more depth to the explanations.

this was very fun to watch and very useful!! thank you so much for the tips <3

CAME BACK BECAUSE I REALIZED SOMETHING. What do you mean "10 drawings a day"? What is that in reference to just- just so I can make sure. What do you mean by that???? As in that's the expected amount of work in a day for a rough / cleanup animator??? OR AM I MISUNDERSTANDING

Thank you for explaining the process! I’ve been scouring the internet for how to do cleanup and haven’t found much (just like you mentioned). Thank you so much!

Do you know other examples of movies with this rough asthetic, in addiction to Aristocats and Mushka? I want to take some screenshots to practice

try out after effects instead of toon boom, you still need to animate the shapes manually, but after effects has an option to blur/feather the edge along each of the vector points individually, so essentially you can have one side of the shape sharp edged, and one blurry. It should essentially cut the animating process from this video in half

Wow wow! This is so comprehensive and helpful. Thank you!

Great vid! Music is ominous though

ya me vi los videos de los DVD de richard williams, están muy buenos la verdad :D

I'm working on a clean-up job/gig right now, but my drawing tablet broke and I'm using the mouse to do it. It is not hard because I'm using a vector tool to make it, but it ends up kind of stiff, so I use the mouse in parts where I want it to be more handmade. Clean-up appears to be the start/early career to beginners, I hope I can learn more, make better clean-up and to learn other stages as well.

This is my favorite video ever

THANK YOU

As much as i am pro-art, i remind myself thar all this work is wasted without a story, characters, world defined, etc. Think back to animations created over the past 4 years. Which had fantastic visuals and sound? Which ones flopped and why?

Which software? And how long did it take for you to get this level?

tbh i rather do kinda rough shade with soft shadow and then define hard edges but this is awesome

I lied on my resume so here I am learning how to do this at 3am 😂

This was so helpful 😁😁😁 I find that clean up is one of the hardest and most meticulous part of animation yet it's hard to find in depth tutorials for it. This was insightful and informative and I will definitely use this to help me in the future!!! Thank you

Thank you for the lessons, it was really helpful!!

Great stuff! I take my animation all the way to clean up and color myself and use a lot of the same techniques

How you can do this transformation between krita and blender

Sorry, but Richard Williams book is obviously better.

I'm a new in-between animator in Japan. It's really interesting to see how you do inbetweens, because its very different from how we do it here. We line up the two lines, and place the top paper exactly inbetween the two papers (using the peg bar holes as a guide) in order to find an exact inbetween. I wonder why we do many things differently. 😅 Thanks you for the video! Super informative!

This could have been Sooooo much help on a small project i had...Glag to come across your video !!

Your video material evokes a sense of deep respect and gratitude for the work you have done and the generosity with which you have shared your experience. Thank you very much!
