[@Joel-Haver]

Thank you so much for half a million subscribers. I hope this video strikes a balance between helpful and entertaining. I encourage everyone with the faintest interest in animation to try out this process, it's really fun and unique. It's okay to steal my style outright, imitation is flattery and the greatest jumping off point for finding your own style. Links in the description to everything you'll need! Much love

[@NateTalksToYou]

5:22 Completely agree with this take on art and new technology.

[@TomMRF]

He just changed my entire perspective on digital art. Even though I tried not to, until now I think I somewhat looked down on digital drawings in particular, simply because the artists don't have to deal with a lot of the hassel involved in physical drawing or painting. Like being able to alter colors with one click or applying an effect instead of having to redo the whole thing if you want to change something. But actually, I've always believed that there are way more important aspects to art than the technical skills, and also that it's a shame how many people can't express themselves creatively because they lack any such technical skills. Now we finally have new forms of art that make that hurdle much easier to overcome. We are getting closer to the point where everyone can put art out there without having to spend years practicing, and that's a good thing. Creative vision and inspiration and things like that are becoming more important than technical ability, and imo that's how it should be.

This is exactly how AI is supposed to be used in creative projects. It helps make the process faster and easier, but you still use your artistic skills and put in the work to make it your own unique style. From what I’ve seen, AI bros don’t want to put in the work and just want the AI to do EVERYTHING for them, whether it’s due to lack of artistic skill or patience, or both. And then they ignore the glaring issues because they don’t have the trained eye to spot them.

i think rotoscope animation is really such an underrated style. depending on the context its used in it can either emphasize in the moment awkwardness like joel said, or complex movement like this one music video i saw. plus if you do it by hand it can probably teach you a few things about animating movement on your own

I've drawn and sometimes animated digitally with a mouse my entire life and only as I got older did I realize that everyone thinks that's weird. If that's all you use you get used to it, it can be as easy as drawing by hand, sometimes to me it feels easier. But of course you can never get as much detail as you could if you were using like a tablet or something, like I don't know if there's a pressure sensitive drawing mouse or something... Actually I'm gonna look that up.

@@Squishito A pressure sensitive mouse sounds like something that should exist but I'm not sure it does.

@@ohnoitsu1 I mean, folks used to do that (although to be fair, they had teams of animators to do it). It was called rotoscoping. The really funny thing is, one of the big uses was as a cost-savings measure to get decent animation for really complicated motion. Apparently it saved so much time (and therefore production costs) in animation for complicated stuff that the savings outweighed the cost of hiring some no-name actors and filming them dancing or fighting or whatever.

I was actually wondering how he made these videos for weeks. It's a nice and simple way to make animations. Always wanted to make one, but I don't have much skill so this is great.

[@RyanEaiseProductions]

You are a comedic genius and a huge inspiration to me in so many ways. Thank you for sharing this knowledge! I can't wait to get started on a project of my own!!!

I found this channel and Value Select on the same day. Truly a blessed end to a shit decade.

[@chuckpoe5297]

Agreed. Albeit 2020 was a low bar to hurdle, discovering Joel was a wonderful way to end - and maybe even redeem - the worst year of my life.

I feel like the method can be 'copied' which Joel really seems to encourage, without his _style_ of animation being copied, which no one could do as well anyway :)

[@Chocolate83Bunny]

Yeah the animation is like the icing on a cake: it’s nice and I like it a lot but I enjoy a full cake way more than just the icing by itself.

This is Joel Haver. He believes that art does not belong to one person, and should be shared with everyone, so he shares his entire art style rather than hoard it for himself. Be more like Joel Haver.

[@sloppyphart7879]

I disagree. What he did was very selfless and kind, but I believe if someone discovers, practices and hones their own art style, they shouldn't feel obligated to reveal to the world exactly how to replicate it. A style is what makes an artist unique, so I can completely understand those who are opposed to sharing their process.
