[@gregorypan]

The visual effects and ai combination is seriously impressive, but a lot of credit has to be given to Niko and Dean for watching anime enough to know the dramatic movements and expressions that really sell this piece. This was amazing. Edit: An alarming amount of people that responded to this seemed to have missed the point entirely. I know I phrased it in a way that could be misconstrued, but I didn't mean credit needed to be given to the Corridor crew for watching anime alone. I meant that credit needed to be given to them for having the ability to pick out the specific parts of anime that make it feel "anime". There are obvious differences between Japanese animation and animation in different countries, and only animators and visual artists appreciate and can replicate the nuance behind the technique. Some of you seem to think this is easy and obvious, which is silly. If you believe it's that easy, go ahead and make your own short, or try to list every technique used in animation to accomplish the anime look and timing. All you have to do is watch the corridor crew video behind the scenes for this shoot to understand the insane amount of thought that went behind every single shot in this skit. It's certainly not as easy as just sitting there and watching anime.

With the strike of our pen and the wave of our flag, claim to a kingdom is sealed. Barter and bargain is the lifeblood of our kingdom, and the paper is the law that drives our people to glory. The paper is the right to rule. Crossed Blades: Without wall and garrison, the paper holds no sway. We must defend our words with our own might, exert our strength against those who undermine, and cut the strings of those who manipulate word against our countrymen. The Crossed Blades is order to law. By these three, holy combat is maintained in perfect balance. Remember this, young ones: One must never bring about the unholy hands; Wizard and Dragon.

The shading that happens on the clothing and the characters is actually insane. It feels like every shot is a money shot because you usually only get a few minutes of shading and lighting like that in an anime show/movie. The same goes for the "animation", everything feels smooth but it does feel like its animated. I understand that consistency is probably one of the harder things to do but after seeing the shot @5:13, it made me realize this is very possible and is gonna be even better in the near future. Epic video u weebs :)

[@MeepChangeling]

If they'd known about flow frames, they could have picked out some keyfamrs from their SD generations, then had flowflames make the tweens (sticking to the usual 12 fps for anime, of course). This would have preserved detail. They should have also switched to static images for some of the shots, and had movement ONLY when required. Using 2 seconds of video for someone standing still isn't how anime works. That's a .jpeg of goku till he nods.

[@jucks]

​​​@@MeepChangeling well yes, and no, depends on what youre trying to do i guess. The style of anime is heavily influenced by the limitations of hand animation, which was explained in the video as well. What you are saying is true if the goal was to "replicate japanese anime as faithfully as possible", but i doubt that was the case. Pretty sure they would do what you mentioned and dub the whole thing Japanese if it was. I think they were just trying to experiment with this crazy cutting edge tool and workflow. If Japanese artists back then werent limited by the technology, would they still use still images, flat/static backgrounds, minimal detail, etc? Probably not, but you never know.

The shading style is a result of stealing tens of thousands of frames from artists that worked on Vampire Hunter D.

So here’s my interpretation for the End scenes. The “Good” Prince (Les call him dat), leaves battered and bruised from the Holy duel from before. He then gets exiled or leaves the capital or even the country via a ship. We then see a shot of the city or a town overlooking, what I believe is the “Castle/Cathedral”. This shot shows the “Downfall” of the kingdom. But here is where i find myself at a dilemma, the shot of the dark streets 6:08 is followed by what I assume is the Good prince, looking exhausted (almost as if he was in a battle) and if you look closely, the street has 2 individuals that loom ominously on the center of the shot. I argue that, The “Evil” Prince sent assassins to eliminate his brother, and I know it contradicts my claim that 6:08 shows the consequences of the evil prince’s governance (“Downfall”), meaning that the shot takes place in an entirely different country as Good Prince could not have been near the Cathedral/Castle. Continuing, we get a shot that shows the Good Prince begging for money (it doesn’t say money, but lets assume that it does), he probably lost all his belongings or fortune from the battle and what was left was probably used up on the ship he left with. There is then a major event on 6:15 , by the looks of it, Good prince is undergoing initiation from an organization that I would call as the “Sect of Crossblades”. Previous shot did show a man standing dominantly in front of Good Prince. (This could be the event when he first got invited to the sect.) The next shot is a bit of a problem, it shows “Someone” forging “crossblades?” This individual could not have been Good prince (or at least not the initiated Good prince),(why? He doesn’t have the forehead cross) this couldn’t have been Evil Prince, as why would he do this? The thematic implication of the individual forging the cross blades makes me believe that it could only have been Good prince, Perhaps before his initiation. The forging might even be the challenge required to be accepted on the Sect. Moving on, we get a shot of the Good prince, staring towards the “Castle/Cathedral”, perhaps planning his eventual return/Revenge. On 6:26, we get a ballroom/party shot, most certainly held for the elites, this could imply the lavish way Evil prince live out his days as the new monarch. Evil prince dances with a noble, (maybe future/present consort queen), but he looks troubled, looking directly towards us, we then get an explanation for his expression. the Good Prince is present and reveals his identity, most probably attracting the attention of other nobles within the party. What happens after is left for our speculation, personally I think good prince will challenge him in another round of Holy duel, this time on front of all the elites too see. I’m hoping they make a sequel, I can’t wait for my interpretation to be debunked lol. (Apologies for any grammatical error present within this overly simplified interpretation, English ain’t my native language😅)

Also the only way to manage a remi would be, when there are just two queens, yours and the one of your opponent. In any other case, one of you will die.

As an animator, I think about AI a lot. I disagree with the sentiment that it will make our jobs easier, or that it will put the power of creation in the hands of the common person. It's nowhere near the point where it can generate consistent, appealing, expressive animation, but when that does happen, every animation you see will look the same. People will pay money to go see films where AI has had a large hand, and the skills of the average animator will dwindle until no more than a few words/keyframes are required to make something that looks 'good.' People will look back at old films, cartoons, video-games, and other creations and they will wish AI had never left it's infancy, but in their hearts they will not care. Nor will the greedy suits that push this slop.

[@paulvictor7489]

I see it no different as every single other art tool that`s come into the mainstream in the last few decades. Detachable cameras, green screen, color correction, layers, digital pens, tablets, image enhancements, fill tools, layer tools, cgi, CG assests, lghting generators, so on and so fourth... To say something like Art is going to die because of AI is as stupid as saying photography is dead because Photoshop exists, or anime is dead because CGI exists, or character design is dead because AI exists... Ai is a tool, it`s a tool that you can use to build up many steps of a process, and work on top of it. If you think that AI art means that now everyones going to simply generate works and not move fowards that stupid and naive.. When CGI started, my god was it shit. It was infinitely easire then 2D animation but it was shit, now we have a lot of CGI trash yes... but we also have a ton of amazingly creative and awesome movies, tv shows, videos games, etc that implement CGI and combine it with the principles of animation and art and painting and drawing, etc to create really cool and unique things. When photoshop started to be big yes everyone was saying everythings photoshoped, but it`s also allowed so many artists to use it`s tools to make a premise or a reference into amazingly unimaginably epic scenes, characters, etc. When 3D games began yes, they all looked really shit, but so many games took the technologies we know and added other art forms to make some truly epic and stylised master pieces... People think AI is the death of Art because it`s new and everyones scared by new... but it`s just a tool like everything else, and if you don`t see it`s usefulness, that`s not a issue of AI lacking creativity, it`s an issue of you lacking creative implementation as an artist. You can use AI to save so much time with so many things, and then have all that extra time to take your skills as an artist, as an animator to the next level and make amazing things.. If you think AI is just replacing art, instead of being a tool, you`re not more of an artist then AI, because it means you can`t implement creativity into new tools and instead you want to simply continue repeating and recreating the styles and animations that have come before..

[@pingaswingas1]

​@@paulvictor7489 I appreciate your detailed response. Not saying it will be the death of art, but if it takes off like I think it will, there will be much fewer jobs for animators and artists (and fewer big-budget movies with hand-created art). Similar to the transition from 2D to 3D. Out of curiosity, are you an animator yourself?

[@paulvictor7489]

At the moment, animators, artists and vfx artists are being disgustingly overworked, underpayed and even though everyone wants to be one, most people don't have the patience so it's not nearly as saturated of a field as people make it out to be. I know you're worried about so many people losing their job, but where AI is not and the direction it's taking adding in the fact that with everything that becomes big laws and policies will also come too and AI will likely be more and more honed to be a tool. I see it more as an advantage for the currently and future working artists to just have better quality of life and not like it's going to replace their jobs.@@pingaswingas1 Think of it this way.... we can so insanely easily make machiens that can replace every employee at Mcdonalds right now, but we don't. We could super easily replace every restaurant with automated orders, but we don't, and we could replace every single car with self driving cars and all be getting to work at a quarter the speed, but none of those thngs will happen for years and years to come because at the end of the day, all these technologies are just that, technologies, and humans develope and change all the time, art changes, style changes, everything changes, AI can do a lot but it's stagnent, it cannot be repaced by humans because it does not have a will like humans have. So no I don't think a bunch of artists and animators are going to go starving because of AI UNLESS we have an audience accept the stale, repetive and uncreative art forms of television forever. As long as people want new things or nostalgic things, or creative things, AI will never just replace all the jobs and there will still be a plethera if not more jobs in these fields due to the helpful tools availible. On top of this, keep in mind that a couple decades ago TV, Video games and movies were considered more for children, or lazy idiots... Nowadays theres a way llarger audience, and it's still increasing. With the obvious innevitable fatigue of short form content from tiktok that is obviouslyl already happening to a lot of people theres a very obvious demand for art to return. You can see it in Disneys movies lately, Triple A video games, tv shows and so on. So if anything this automated art you fear is going to be the very thing that will boom the industry of creative human made art bigger then it's been in sometime. So try to stop being so afraid and learn to utilize AI into your own work to make amazing, creative animations, that just use yet another new and innovated tool.
