Animusic HD - Gyro Drums (1080p)

[@johnmacaroni7697]

I'm an animator, i can only imagine the sweat, blood, and time taken into account whilst making this type of work. So much shit is happening at once. it must've taken quite the time to create.

[@cameronhopkins70]

They have a unique midi based software. They input the music and the animation "plays" itself. Pretty cool.

[@user-se8nh3yu1e]

Cameron Hopkins they had. animusic is sadly no more.

[@PolarisFluff]

@@user-se8nh3yu1e There's been no announcement that the third's been cancelled, and the creator said that even though it was just him working on it he'd work as long as it takes allegedly

[@savageratentertainment]

well according to a video they used frame motion, and then they took beats and rethemes they created in a synthesizer put that in, and made a beat/song out of it, and essentially just (with a lot of tediousness) made the animation flow fluidly with the frame motion tracking, and with the music utilized as the "tracking" essentially it animated itself! the rest was up to movement and flow. but yeah I can imagine since I'm also an animator and into now 3D modeling; now-a-days it's become more technically simplistic what they called "simplicity" back 10 years ago is nothing like todays! So I can imagine even if with motion tracking and synthesized music to guide the animation, it's just the mere fact of the 3D models to create, the music to create, and the constant flow to keep it that way that would feel like forever lol

[@ci.netproductions]

Or just simply put a bunch of midi notes into a computer program and tell it to render the animation based on a few circumstances…

Thank you for uploading these in 1080p. One thing that I think is also important about Animusic is their attention to detail. I suggest to viewers that after they've watched these videos a thousand times (more or less), look closer to see all the lights, gizmos and gadgets that are at work. ;)

[@RileyWhiddenIsArguablyInsane]

How those of you who are always asking why this hasn't been built when we have the technology... It's not that we don't, it would just take a shit-ton of processing power to be able to control that much robotics (A supercomputer, thereabouts), and that's without the calculation concerning error, AND being able to maintain the machine so it continues to run as it should.

[@Deus_Ex_Machina.]

To the contrary. This machine could be run by a discarded iPhone. But it would take a shit-ton of robotic mechanism to actually build it.

[@CockatooDude]

@@BlueyXbox Servo motor speed limitations.

[@Tharmin.124]

There could be a ball-shaped magnet in the pipe, being pushed around by hydraulic systems. Each drummer has their own system, but the position will be controlled by a central "brain" wirelessly communicating with the drummers. The tech is there now, we don't need so many servos. Just to control the arms. For more info, check out DIY Perks' "silent fan" video (relatively recent)

[@wea69420]

any CNC enabled factory is far more complex than this and it can be run from a rather poultry computer. The reason why it hasn't been built is the profit motive. Building a drumming robot in this config would be very expensive with no apparent benefit compared to just hiring one of the many dirt poor competent drummers out there

[@fishwigy]

It's very possible, even since those times. It's just very expensive

[@DAlanChurches]

Just brilliant! Concept, animation, drum rhythms, lighting, camera work.... all of it. How on Earth do you find enough time to do it all?

[@senorpurpleskull3862]

Sometimes I think it's easy to forget that originally these were just a group of drummers just playing. It's so amazing the skill and talents of all of those who were involved in this. I like to imagine that in the recording studio it was just a circle of drum kits and those guys were just having the time of their lives.

[@atlassolid5946]

it wasn't. Wayne Lytle explains in the director's commentary how Animusic works; all of the drum triggers for this song were mapped to several keyboards and fed into a MIDI program, and the MIDI file actually creates the animation using proprietary software.

[@senorpurpleskull3862]

@@atlassolid5946 aww that's a bit disappointing. Still definitely took a lot of creativity. I think maybe at the very least it started as two drummers just messing around.

[@atlassolid5946]

@@senorpurpleskull3862 i don't know if they had any drummers at Animusic Studios. from the director's commentary, it really seems like it was mainly just Wayne and Dave who worked on the music/animation using MIDI and their own programs, although they did have other employees at the studio at the time. They do say that Dave and Wayne are the ones who compose the music for every song, so who knows; it could be that some ideas started on a real drumset, it could not.
