If anything, I would have guessed Family Guy uses puppets. The characters seem more rigid and choppy.

How would the time spent in character creation and the rest of the stop motion process compare to digitally re-creating the style? Could the story telling be perhaps sped up if done in software, all while taking care not to give up the stop motion look?
@zaid.12718 күн бұрын
Actually interesting thing, no it is not sped up. It takes usually the same amount of time to animate a character in 3d as it would to create and animate these puppets. I spoke recently with someone who’s dabbled in both of these worlds and that was their experience.

Rigged animation gets way too much of a bad rap. We assume something like Family Guy has to be puppets because it looks cheap, but ironically it actually looks stiffer due to being traditionally animated. It has this very rigid, snappy, economical pose-to-pose style which doesn't admit much fluidity or follow-through, while rigged animation on the same budget lends itself to more subtle and intricate motion. It's a lot easier to avoid that effect of a "dead" drawing where nothing in the frame is changing. I used to dismiss puppets but they have a lot of underappreciated strength

The big advantage of puppet animation, is that it's mostly 2D. Animation in 2 dimensions is so much easier than in 3 dimensions. I am finding this out for myself currently, working on the first episode of a fully animated show. It has both, 3D and 2D animation, while with 2D, I'll rather stick to traditional animation.

@@zaid.1271 It's a 3D character living in the forest and telling stories, those stories being shown in 2D animation. Like if a friend is telling you about memories. And are you askong in which way 3D animation is harder? As I mentioned, it's a whole extra dimension you keed to animate. While 2D animation can also show depth, it comes naturally. You never draw anything clipping into each other, but that is what you need to look for, when animating a 3D character only from a side view, so in 2 dimensions.

@@marcfuchs6938 In 3d you have a rig and a camera that can move in any way though. I think it’s way harder in 2d especially for things like cars or more complex characters
@marcfuchs693829 күн бұрын
@@zaid.1271 Yeah sure you have a rig and a camera - but talking about the complexity of animation, the rig and camera are parts of what makes 3D animation so demanding. In 2D animation, you don't animate a camera, it needs to be set before even drawing the scene. But in 3D you animate it, often at least. And the rig...... Well that's just a tool to make 3D animation merely possible. How hard or easy it is, depends on the quality and kind of your rig. It can make animation easier, but not easy in general. Other than that, you are definately right, depending on the content, 2D could be harder. I have always been amazed by anime, how well they sometimes animate things like cars. Keeping the perspective to look believable and not messing up the details. But today we are in a time, where anybody would use 3D for that. Either generating the actual object in 3D software, or rendering a preview, where artists then draw over it - keeping perfect proportions but still giving it the real hand drawn look. If I would produce an animated movie, that is the approach I would have my artists go.

Hand drawn animation is not, I repeat, not expensive. That's a lie Hollywood Execs at the time gave in order to convert everything digitally after seeing how successful Pixar's computer generated films were. It's also a copout to why "2d animation" has become underwhelmingly lackluster and lazy in the last twenty years give or take. You can literally make an animation using inexpensives items such as a pencil and xerox paper, or even post-it notes.

Rick and Mort is not one of the best animated shows XD what are you taking about? The animation looks so cheap most of the time. And traditional will never be "gone". As long as there are people wanting to animate and have 2D animation look as good as they can do it it will always be around.
@MetroPolo1Ай бұрын
Actually, traditional animation (especially low-cost) used a puppet animation prototype so they wouldn't need to redraw the whole character in each frame. They chose which part of the body needed to move (like the mouth or an arm) and which part could remain still (the rest of the body). They used layers to keep one drawing consistent across all the frames and just animate small parts. This technique was common in weekly series like those from Filmation (He-Man, Tarzan, Archie, etc.).
