IF I animated INVINCIBLE

[@themutupoguy]

So because some of the comments are already putting words in my mouth, me making this is in no way any kind of statement that I can do it better than the animators on the show 😂 I'm also an animator and I know they probably aren't given the time to go all out in compositing or that's the style the director chose. Which is great. They'd run circles around me if they were given the time to go extra in compositing. I just had a few hours on my hands and decided to composite some shots for fun. That's literally all it is. Be great if you read the description❤ Thanks for all the kind words❤

[@anation3943]

Good work

[@Bazinga_66]

If you ever get a job in prime video doing this type of shot, then honestly you deserved a raise and give you a lot of money because that shit looks fire bruh🔥

[@mahitoonanimation3737]

How many people does it need to actually animate like this? Like in every scene they need like a team coloring and shading and each team need a 30 animators? Oh that's hard to achieve?

[@themutupoguy]

@mahitoonanimation3737 It really depends when it comes to the number of animators. But 30 is on the small side. They could go up to 100 depending on the budget the studio has. You need storyboard artists, layout artists, key animators, in-between artists, directors(if there's more than one per episode), colourists, clean up artists, then compositing artists/the photography team who do what I did in this video. So again - depending on the budget, these responsibilities can be split between a big team or a small team. Time is also a huge factor. This third season is coming out way too fast so the team must've been a bit bigger or they really worked the original team to the bone(I'm just speculating on this bit.)

[@josephcarr1482]

So I'm not saying that what you did wasn't good work but if your animated it shouldn't you have done all these scenes animating the details with the trailer moving instead of just still images because it looks only like just details not animation I hope this didn't come off rude I just wanted to know

the editing software can touch up stuff like this without going frame by frame. I am more of a blender guy, and you could very well make an invincible that looks completely 2d but has all the lighting you want using blender alone. and example would be beast stars, which was entirely done in 3d yet made to look 2d

Honestly I think the animators can do something like this but it would just take to much time and everyone would complain about how long it takes for a season to release so they try to do what they can with the time they have but we could still only dream that maybe one day a season would look this good

[@gibbsduhem1066]

I don't think the art looks that good. It's like a solid 6 out of 10 at best. It's generic and it looks flat. Now, don't get me wrong, being generic isn't all that bad as long there are some improvements, but long story short, invincible is below par. If you look at multiple DC animated projects, you'll see just how subpar this looks. Time isn't even an issue necessarily, the issue is budget. Look at how boys diabolical looks 10 times better than this even tho it wasn't even a high priority show. I'm inclined to believe 90% of the budget goes to the voice actors. Otherwise, given enough animators and a similar time frame, the show would look leagues better than this. I've definitely seen tight schedule, where the animation team still pulls through to give out great quality, regardless of time constraints. I don't think invincible is that bad when it comes to schedule, considering how long it took for season 2 to start airing after the end of season 1. The animators might be talented, but I don't think there's enough man power. The show looks like it lacks animators in most departments.

yeah this is a hundred times better, the show lacks beautiful scenes and i wish it was animated like this.

[@stoveoven]

this isn't even animation, this is just adding better lighting to still-frames; this would be ridiculously time consuming and costly to add to EVERY frame... take a look at TV broadcast Sukuna vs Mahoraga, which was only ***30%*** of what they intended and it still ended up great... just not in still-frames because Japanese animation specifically focuses on movement and impact, with sacrifice to shading, which Invincible seems to be inspired off of as it doesn't take the most conventional American approach to animation. that is, if you're not MAPPA or UFOTABLE and either have ridiculously good time management with little traffic (UFOTABLE), or the ability to basically turn you into a living slave forced to stay away from family (MAPPA)

[@imcoupe]

@@stoveoven bro japanese animation companies don't even remotely get the amount of funding american companies have. amazon literally has tons of money they could hire some of the greatest animators of all time if they wanted, get a giant dedicated team for invincible, like there's no excuse for them. the only reason anime takes so long to come out is because of how expensive it is to make but that's because they have very limited resources, amazon doesn't

[@Zinemay]

I like how Invincible's S2 has this whole sequence where characters talk about how difficult it is to have a good animation and to properly use team resources. And then they drop only 4 episodes with no dynamic fights, but with promise of something big. When another 4 episodes finally arrived it was again only static flying fights. And what made it worse - it came out just in time with JJK and you couldn't help but compare this two shows. You may say, that they do not have that much time - well, maybe that's true. But man, it's a studio that makes only one show and they are sponsored straight by Amazon. I don't believe they can't afford another group of animators and vfx artists. It's only imho and of course I do not know for sure. May be there are some other real obstacles and I just don't fully understand it.
