To those saying the mics are bad, those are probably voices from different film clips to use as a reference for scenes.

[@Aviatato]

The first scene is from doctor strange

[@thefaciolong8236]

Two of the songs were from the show Galavant

[@Boi5219]

Yea that’s what they do they use voice clips from things you already know about

[@user-ku1vo1zo8n]

This is from doctor strange

[@toxic_tomb1238]

@@Aviatato I knew it was familiar

[@Shablagoo69]

The first one really hit hard

[@AugustoXRock]

I know right?

[@roniquerobinson4457]

Thanks

[@honeywasp7839]

Love how the first one has the dude modeling a character on the laptop... kinda poking fun at themself i guess

[@eshan309]

Every shot of that lizard character has been so hilarious for so many years! Every damn time every animator does something hilarious with him :D He can definitely be some dumb funny villain in a movie. LOVE IT!!

[@jaketaller8567]

All lizard scenes 0:49 Evil Speech 1:42 Community Chang Gollum scene 4:57 Dinner For Schmucks 5:24 Birdcage

[@sravankumar9719]

thank you

[@jacobmiller5593]

What dialogue is the first one from?

[@smilefishyish]

I love how the lizard is the star of the show

[@tigercarings]

1:14 I love the little suble movements in her face after she says "its a lot to look up too..." like shes sad about something that we dont know but we Feel. thats good animation.

[@AxerOne0001]

This lizard character is connecting all the animations into a single universe

[@anacecherry]

LCU: The Lizard Cinematic Universe

[@Xloudy684]

That was like... the coldest wtf introduction to a video ever.

[@alexandriatrenier7366]

Yeah I was hurt

[@rileyscherer129]

It's from doctor strange

[@victorcallender1311]

Lol, the last one was the best.

[@sweetsambra]

Lol Suprise OFG

[@sweetsambra]

Lol Bratz OFG

[@Warm_Ice0]

Cutest too

[@eleanorbostick3474]

I just really love seeing all the different characters with so much variety and seeing them out of context just adds a little... pizzaz, a little extra interest I think.

[@Cxeri93]

5:33 "you're not a woman..." "DUHHHHHH!!!...." i havent laughed so much since childhood.

[@therareemerald506]

3:09 is soooooooo goooooood!!!! i like how 3:13 she does that with her face, and at 3:14 her pupils get smaller. it shows a lot of emotion. 3:16 its nice how one eyebrow is a little more down than the other 3:17 that lip animation is so satisfying! and at 3:19 she makes a motion like she's blowing 3:20 her eyes get so big. i love it. and overall i like how she just doesnt care that she's probably gonna spill her glass soon :D lol Great job Lukasz!

[@ravensnerdworld]

Not gonna lie I thought she was gonna hit him with the bat

[@jep9092]

Same

[@goku21youtub]

technically amazing and hq , but every character seems to have the exact same personality with the heavy overacting and round movement , seems like the tutors are forgetting about characters which move differently -> stiff, gentle, hectic, pressured whatever , these charaxters all move like the 1000s copy of a copy of some disney movie , nice exceptions were the cartoony mad lizard and the skull one .

[@danielgiles833]

i agree and it all feels very commercial because of the lack of individuality. it would be nice to see some unique art styles.

[@Xlore127]

The problem is the industry. 3D is a segment of 2D and professional animation in the western world takes from the lessons all the great Disney animators gave. The entire animation industry learned to animate from Disney so thats why all the student work looks like Disney work.

[@xdavier31]

@@Xlore127 Agreed, also it might have to do with that fact they're given the same models/style to use(or at least that's how I think it works) and also I think it'd be fair to say that the directing in all the clips seem the same or very similar(Wide Shot with minimal cuts, maybe that's a requirement that they're given because I've noticed this in all the reels.). Everything seems very Disney/Pixar inspired and none of these reels(I've watched each one from 2016-2020) seem to take inspiration from other genres(like westerns, black & white, old school samurai films, etc). They do look nice though I will say that, I just wish in the next reel the clips show more creativity from the student picks. Edit: I did like the mad max setting clip by Kseniia

[@ssssssm8378]

@@xdavier31 It deffo looks like this school is meant to teach you about the complexities of acting in a 3D software. More of it is focused on the character's acting and how it adheres with the audio the students choose, so the assets the students are given are a kind of easy way to help them communicate the personalities behind the characters...something that big industry studios like Pixar/Disney/Dreamworks/Bluesky probably want. I guess you can say that the shots students produce here are good for their chances at getting jobs.

[@Som3D]

THIS IS FUNNY BECAUSE SOMEOME WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW REALISTIC ONE OF THE ANIMATIONS FROM THE 2018 STUDENT SHOWCASE WAS I guess people complain when it's realistic but complain when it's Disney like or cartoony it's confusing

[@eliegromen498]

The facial acting in 1:14 is phenomenal! Fantastic work all around

[@paste8213]

SOOO WE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THE DOG BIT

[@banana_walter_]

5:35 This is hilarious oh my god i love this so much-

[@zevac]

These guys definitely improved, holy shit they're definitely getting jobs at Disney now

[@MrWhiteLioness]

Are they getting better or blender/maya is getting better?

[@Killomainia]

@@MrWhiteLioness Still have to put the principals into practice. The tools may get more streamlined and more efficent, but if you don't have the basic understanding of animation then it won't look nearly as good as it could be.

[@zevac]

@@Killomainia exactly

[@zevac]

@@tanmaygoswami7147 true

[@shwetasolanki1977]

yes true

[@whynotanyting]

I know it's not the purpose or goal of the education, but it really shows how important audio is. Really nice animations, I just wish there was more individuality shown. Would be interesting to have a show reel of the same animators in a few years/months to see how they've developed their own style.

[@soulvasseur7138]

0:0- 0:19 This one is so beautiful and heartbreaking- the way she's patient yet wary with him, how they're talking with one another, it feels like they've had plenty of conversations like this before. 0:24- 0:48 I love this open communication, how she just goes for it at the end, and he leans into it. 3:23-6:10 awww

[@nuralimedeu]

Is it just me, or the "Batman" model looks a lot like Mr. Incredible? Especially considering the similarities between the scene shown here and the scene where Bob Parr was in Syndrome's lair.

[@Cheesecake_lover360]

Yeah I don't know the name of that character model but he is quite similar to Bob

[@dudyvalentim7915]

"because you're a man and i know nothing because i'm a woman" "your not a woman" 😮

[@KyokiPon]

I’m assuming the students get a variety of characters to work with and they just animate right?

[@poppi3362]

yea, they probably get voice lines aswell. While it is impressive, people get blinded easily and assume they did everything from scratch.

[@KyokiPon]

@@poppi3362 yeah haha I noticed when I realized all shorts use the same models haha 😂

[@imogenkemp4626]

@@poppi3362 yeah in another one i noticed one of the lines was taken from a movie, I assume they demos and movie lines

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKO1pqJ6qJmlhtE someone made a comment on this one showing that some of them were from la la land, a series of unfortunate events and stuf

[@Syvies]

All the animations with the lizard, especially the first one, are all amazingly over-exaggerated in the right way!

[@rhetiq9989]

Can’t believe we’re at the point where student animation projects look just as decent as the work of most major studio produced animated flicks nowadays. About a decade ago you could’ve fooled me into thinking these are all Pixar, but then again now they’re already on a completely different level of animated realism lol

[@Kopie0830]

The last one needs to be a movie. I love the humor hehehehe.

[@ohmoenay]

I loved EVERY clip with the lizard-thing character lol

[@The0Stroy]

They are looked like from the same movie...

[@momocal9660]

Can you do these kind of animations in blender? Cus I find it takes to long, you know... to hand animate everything... or am I missing something? : D

[@otakumangastudios3617]

They are professionals in training, animation is extremely tedious, seems to me they've been doing this for quite a while. I'm guessing these projects were from students about a year or two in from constant practice and discipline

I believe they are using Maya, but Blender does have animation tools. It can feel tedious at times to animate, but the final product should make you feel like it worth it in the end.
