[@fierecat]

The way Pootis Engage utilizes the frame is particularly fascinating because it's an evolution of what a bunch of folk have been doing in SFM for a while! At some point someone came up with a way to introduce cinematic frames, something SFM doesn't have any dedicated tools for, which was by using a physical model. Naturally folk realized the power of this and started playing with things moving in front of them, animating them, or interacting with them. Real rad to see the effect getting noticed more outside the community! (And Ceno is like, the APEX of the technique!)

To explain the Life of Pi situation a bit further: that technique is known frame break, and was likely applied because of the film being shot in 3D (the effect looks more impressive in 3D). There were a number of other films that employed this technique, including the 3D version of G-Force, the IMAX 3D versions of GOTG Vol. 1 and 2, the 3D version of the 2016 Ghostbusters film, and the IMAX 3D versions of the first two Fantastic Beasts films (I believe Life of Pi was the only film to use this technique in the 2D version as well). EDIT: Some people in the replies seem to be misunderstanding my comment. I should point out that I’m talking about things popping out of the frame and into the letterbox bars, not the frame changing aspect ratios.

[@Espartanica]

@@ThePreciseClimber "I must assign labels rather than use basic logic and reasoning" No, people hate black bars because they'd prefer the content make use of the full display without having to cut off detail to achieve it. You mentioned games, and guess what? Modern games ADD to what you see as you increase the aspect ratio, rather than cutting it. Also, 60 FPS CAN look better than 24 FPS. What you seemingly cannot comprehend is that people can design things around framerates and aspect ratios, and that just because you can crop things or use AI interpolation to add frames yourself doesn't mean these are the ONLY way to achieve that goal.

[@backtoklondike]

Some people wants what they payed for which is that the screen fills everything, even though that is ruining framing. Like plenty of people swear by that the Seinfeld remaster on Netflix is the best possible version because it is in 16:9 and fills the screen, even though a lot of jokes are cropped out. And those same people think the Synder cut of Justice league is unwatchable because it's in 4:3. Now the latter is somewhat understandable as you don't realize how tall image unless you watch it on the right type of screen (which Noodle talked about in his original video). But even if you explained and even demonstrated it, those people would still want it to be in 16:9 and even argue that aspect ratio should've been in theaters only and that they should've crop it for the home version.

Noodle is great at these! Other channels that I actually like their sponsorship stuff: "Some More News" does really good ad sponsors too--they're intentionally hackneyed, off-kilter and sarcastic. Also "Internet Comment Ettiquette", he does whole skits for his ads. Both are fairly sardonic and semi-political, in case you unironically use the word "lib-tard", but I like 'em.

[@IraWahlmeier]

I think Internet Comment Etiquette has historically had some of the best. They've been kinda hit or miss for about a year now though.

I'm so freaking happy you talked about Pootis Engage! I agree with you that it is one of the most creative use of framing I've ever seen. SFM animators are genuilney in a league of their own.

[@raphamazini3841]

the best part of all of this is that I dont care about ratios, neither anything mentioned on this video, since im able to see its fine, but i found out amazingly that noodle is so much better at complaining and arguiing about everything, and it makes me feel that i dont complain at all, thanks for such a good feeling, Noodle!

[@testhekid]

oh DUDE i was hyped UP when i heard absolute territory by ken ashcorp here and knew u were going to give the equivalent of a *tsunami of praise* for pootis engage, it's a literal work of art and cen0 deserves nothing but respect 10:22 this sequence hurt my brain

[@UltiTheBand]

I'm so glad you mentioned Scott pilgrim, it's such a great example of how they use aspect ratios and treating it like a comic panel to change the mood in a movie!

[@iamcre8ive]

It doesn’t matter what Noodle is talking about or how, he always manages to entertain me deeply

[@lrgogo1517]

Noodle using the old adage "no spoilers, but if you know, you know" when bringing up NOPE feels more cliche than it already would, because it directly follows him making a 10-second joke that boils down to a markedly funnier version of "no spoilers, but if you know, you know."

I really like the popsickle stick videos. theyre not as high quality but theyre weirdly more charming than the fully animated videos and feel more off the cuff like youre just speaking your mind and for someone like me with ADHD it just feels like i resonate with it more

[@thursday_concerns]

I really like how, even when doing production, you still put flair and an interesting directorial spin on the presentation, dialogue and vibes. ((: top tier

[@idktbh6265]

i love how the set is slowly turning into a post apocalyptic world also ratio

[@darkwing272]

I dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but there is an animated cutscene for Honkai Impact 3rd called Because Of You and it uses ratios in a really neat way. As the lead's eye gets corrupted, the ratio shrinks and when she regains it, she blasts the black bars away and it looks really good.

[@athene-art]

oh I freaking love Pootis Engage and its sequel, Ceno put so much effort into it and you can tell. I have probably watched them more than a dozen times each and they're just as great every time.

[@cptndltrne]

FINALLY someone talked about how creative Pootis Engage 1 and 2 is with it’s borders. That entire fight scene redefined animation for me. It’s so unbelievably well done.

[@TheRedKing247]

It's kind of insane to think that there's a legit possibility in like 100 years film students are going to have to study a post-ironic shitpost SFM in order to get a grade for an animation credit.

[@TheDtzcrptr]

This man is literally a genius, I’m so glad I found this channel. Creativity, subject knowledge and humor are all off the charts.

[@UnwovenSleeve]

I absolutely love the fact that Noodle loves aussie youtube comedians. The Aunty Donna reference and the Cracker Milk cameo, fucken, my man.

[@thinmintthemonkey2435]

Literally just got done binging your other videos, and i come back from the bathroom break i took afterwards TO THIS? BEST POST-SHIT CONTENT EVER! Seriously Noodle, thank you for producing such wonderful videos on a fairly consistent basis.
