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.

Now, as an artist, I do not enjoy the way AI is being used today, but this, I actually really love. And I saw the video on how this was done, and what I love is that they aren’t allowing ai to take over the whole process, while it’s one of the main tools, its not the only tool that’s being used to make this type of creativity. There is still a lot of hard work and dedication and style that these creators are putting in to make this appealing while ai is being used only as a tool. With this amount of effort and a bit of ai to create something honestly awesome , how can you not call this art?❤️

[@group555_]

artists have to really get their head out of their gatekeeping asses and realise that ai is not the issue. big companies using new technologies to abusively squeeze money out is not new. and attacking ai only protects those big companies

[@Gabe.d00dles]

⁠​⁠@@group555_I see what you mean, and I don’t have any issues with AI, far from it actually. I just hate the way society is deciding to use it, because AI has many benefits to be used for like being used for working on creative projects like this and much more beyond that, but some will decide to belittle that tool down to create disadvantages, like for art some will just easily make ai images and try to call it their art, not only that but people have also been using it to cheat in school, make fake news, and even take over social media. Now I know talking about this isn’t gonna change anything about what people do with it, all I’m saying with ai, it has so many useful functions, but so many decide to make those functions less enjoyable to use.

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.

[@jamesn3122]

The shading style is a result of stealing tens of thousands of frames from artists that worked on Vampire Hunter D. Corridor Digital didn't shade jack shit, they trained an algorithm to copy other artists work. The tech is definitely impressive, but understand the credit should go to the original artists that spent years developing their style, not some dudes plugging shit into an algorithm

In checkers however, you must do sacrifices to win and the game won't end until one party is erased. That way, checkers may be oversimplefied and less complex, but it becomes far more bloodier than chess. 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. In short: checkers is basically the embodiement of "No prisoners!". So the whole universe/multiverse would definitely die.

Also, the entire plan of the good twin was to not think and never change his course. Making him a far worse ruler. As a ruler, the "evil" twin definitely is a better fit. Smart and with Strategy to govern his land, cunning enough to play in the diplomatic world, and not distracted by art and music like his brother.
