Funny Animations in Slow Motion [Overwatch]

Squash and Stretch is the principle of applying a contrasting change of shape-from a squash pose to a stretch pose or vice versa-to give a feeling of fleshiness, flexibility, and life in animation. The absence of squash and stretch gives a rigidity or stiffness to the motion. The transition between a proper Squash pose to a Stretch pose, or the other way around, breaks the perfect solidity that CG animation in particular inherently gives to everything.

In any fast motion, animators use this smearing effect to give it the illusion of drag/speed and its the most fundamental. It is commonly used in all animations

Thats more like a mistake

[@iBloby]

squash and stretch is principally one of the 12 principles of animation in 2D, and it's more easy to do stretchings with 2D animations than 3D, and in this case, I think it's computer made, they didn't do the stretches, so their might be some mistakes

[@Mage-7734]

It's mostly because the animation was lazily done. Yes, 3D animations are going to having clips/stretches/squishes but the quality control should've caught that

[@iBloby]

Yup, they should have do thoses stretch themselves I agree, furthermore I think if they did it themselves, stretching McCree's face like that wouldn't have even cross their minds, it's just very ridiculous

[@ozanozenir2503]

its probably an old version of the animation. because you can easyly spot the glitch even without the slow motion. so its probably already fixed.

[@mattj2389]

That’s what’s so interesting and cool about animation, and what makes it so difficult/skill-based. In order for animations to look/feel real, the movements need to be exaggerated and the structures flex in very unreal ways. Without those strange alterations, the animations would not look real, and instead would look very clunky and robotic. Artists craft illusions to make their art seem more real
