[@mikieliza]

I've heard so many people say stuff like "CG Animation killed 2D animation because it's cheaper to make" or "It's just computer generated so it's not as artistic as hand-drawn animation". Absolutely not true! The animators spend so much time to make sure that every frame looks beautiful and amazing, and it's one several-year giant group project to do it. There is no "Animate Button", and "computer generated" doesn't mean there's any less work. Every frame is designed, controlled, inspected, touched up, and scrutinized (and it's not an exaggeration-- literally every single frame is looked at closely. Those "everything wrong with ____" videos really annoy me because of that lol) How to Train Your Dragon took 165 million to make, Tangled took 260 million.... it takes a lot of time and labor to make these fantastic films. 2D Animation is of course also beautiful, but I don't believe CG is any less artistic than those beautiful classics. We've reached a time when CG film is just as versatile and flexible as 2D with the help of creative, problem-solving minds (i.e. The Peanuts Movie, Zootopia, Paperman, etc.) Those are my 2 cents. Oh, also they didn't include rendering for some reason, rendering is the final step in which the computer has to calculate the light reflections and refractions in every frame so it doesn't look wireframe/grayscale/flat colored like it does in the software. Each frame can take anywhere from several hours to days to render, which is a lot considering each 1 second of screentime has at least 24 frames in it. For Pixar to render Monsters University, it took them over 100 million CPU hours. Most studios buy a large collection of computers, or a "render farm", to make the process go much faster.

[@spaceconsult]

That's because the actors are given first credits when the movie is out and people think that it's the actors who make the movie.

they didnt want to show all the render farms they have lol

[@Enceos]

Computers are pretty fast these days, rendering's not an issue anymore.

[@Lurkai]

Enceos lol nah it still is QUITE an issue. thats why companies have render farms so they can speed up the process of production. im working in animation right now and a scene with say 400 frames if all set up and lighted can take 3 days to a week to render depending on the project scope. try to render a scene from UP on your computer and watch it sit there for about a month or so trying to compute all those photons lol its not so much computer being faster its the graphics cards ability to actually read whats being computed by the porgram and then trying to make it into a format thats easier to view at your local movie theater. while at the same time keepig a very high standard of quality. so its actually become more expensive, but as you can imagine all the millions poured into hollywood can pay for things like this.

[@synsam12345]

_"Computers are pretty fast these days, rendering's not an issue anymore."_ Dude, are you serious? Have you ever tried to render a professional 3D-clip on a regular computer. It fucking sucks to do, boo.

[@louisparai4193]

Ever since my studio shifted to Redshift rendering we've gotten used to seeing our renders done the next day! Pretty convenient for a small VFX studio on tight timelines. Vray/Renderman still take a bloody eternity, however the quality is better.

This makes it hard to believe that CG is this much cheaper than Hand drawn Animation

[@icecreamhero2375]

well it depends if you are doing cheap hand drawn animation with art that isn't fancy its cheaper

[@icecreamhero2375]

also CGI is harder any body can draw on paper but you have to be a math genius to make cgi

[@shanemarshall2340]

you do not need to be a math genius to make cgi, it takes a specific set of skills like any job

[@icecreamhero2375]

Shane Marshall maybe that is true but 2d is still quicker and cheaper you don't need to spend 4 years on a 2d cartoon and no mater how cheap you make it and nomater how many corners you cut it still looks good

[@mikieliza]

Generally it is not. If you google budgets of different movies you'll see that high-quality 2D animation is still cheaper than high-quality 3D animation. (i.e. Mulan cost 70 million, whereas Tangled cost 260 million.) People just stopped consuming 2D animation as much and wanted only to watch 3D animation, so it became unsustainable to keep making 2D animation. Maybe there will be a 2D animation revival someday though!

***** that's not true, if this person works and practices hard enough there's a chance they could make it into a big company like Disney or DreamWorks animation

[@chestosneakoinc]

L Lawliet -Rhyuzaki- You know there's been movies that have failed in the box office before and it's always happened. Sure he may become an animator and everything but he should worry more about how good a movie will turn out. Everyone nowadays are just criticizing films but that's usually before they even get a chance to see it like Ghostbusters 2016. Plus there are new animated films coming out this year that I think are going to be shit like "The Boss Baby" and "The Emoji Movie." Even though I haven't watched those films yet I have the right to criticize them as the purpose of the movie trailers is to give us an idea if the movie will be any good or not before we see them. Unless this person can handle all the hatred he'll get from his own movie regardless how good the animation is, I'd suggest he gets a different hobby to make a living out of.

@@voidinwonderland hey, it's a very awesome and creative job, from creating 3D models, texturing and giving them colors to basically animate them into a composition using lights and place them into an environment, telling a story and seeing your creation rendered is a very satisying feeling.

"not all our stories are completely original" remembers Antz

[@idk-gv3ci]

Why are people criticizing movies anyway? Movies are made to entertain you. Now it’s just “that movie is trash, don’t watch it” and “OMG THAT MOVIE IS SO GOOD WATCH IT!” That is NOT the case. If you enjoy the movie, that’s all that counts. Don’t listen to “THAT MOVIE IS HORRIBLE”. That is that PERSON’S OPINION. People were all saying “THE EMOJI MOVIE WAS HORRIBLE” but me and my friends actually ENJOYED it. It’s YOUR entertainment that counts, not someone’s opinion!! Every movie was made with effort and it has got to be appreciated.

One of the guys I went to school with (in Australia), Pieter Lommerse, was always drawing really good comics at school.

@@riley530 you do animation / 3d too?

[@riley530]

LastbutNotFirst I understand the process, and how demanding it can all be. I don’t personally animate professionally, but have multiple friends who do, and understand how stressful it can me.

[@LastbutNotFirst]

@@riley530 lol yah. ive done a bunch of animations for people and companies ive worked at.. people have no idea how many years of just fucking with software it takes before you can even feel confident enough to charge someone for your services. i did a animation for a comic book company. they wanted pixar-like animation.. and i did it.. for 400 bucks. they decided to steal my animation, not pay me for half of it.. and went on to become a very successful company thanks to putting my animation on their website. it's a rough gig to do if you freelance. i should have gotten around 1000 dollars for my animation i did. ended up with 200 bucks and stolen work. lol

its been like a year since i've been learning animation and i really thought that one day i can make an animated movie of my own, but now things look way more complicated

[@allisonjames2923]

It might look complicated, but there are millions of people out there doing it. Best thing to do is find like-minded people to work on it with you. And they’re definitely out there wishing exactly the same as you! Just look at how many movies & shorts there are on a channel like Dust. Good luck 🤞

[@unrealistixs]

@@allisonjames2923 yea u r right...I'll need to work much harder to be someone like them for sure 💪

[@keelan270]

Matte painting. And here I am having toms more building models than necessary to make a background. Ima definitely use this. This video was so helpful. Definitely gonna look over it a few times as I make my own lil animations. Thank you DreamWorks for sharing this sacred knowledge!
