"some germans clogging their way down to Italy". Italian here and I almost spilled the coffee over my computer. Amazing content as always!

[@Carsian]

The timing of this upload is INCREDIBLE; I was JUST wondering about how to pull off a traffic shot in my own work. Thanks Olof Storm !

[@OlofStorm]

Oh awesome! Glad it was helpful!

[@Ren.Leader]

I love when 2D and 3D come together in beautiful harmony.

[@TsubasaAnimations]

The hardest part of this will be to resist pushing it over 7 seconds in the final cut after all this work

[@OlofStorm]

Haha yeah it will be a quick shot in the end :)

[@tompollockjr144]

3D vehicles in 2D animation is always tricky. It's done all the time now, but rarely does it look right. The "toon" render is definitely the way to go. Good job.

[@ashyouknow7420]

This is incredible and exactly how I would make it if it were me that is. The mix of photoreal while still looking cartoonish and not too real is exactly my type of animation. I am not into animation but this video has fascinated me. The attention to detail that goes for the smallest of things in a scene that lasts for just a few seconds is something I didn't really appreciate at this level earlier!

[@OlofStorm]

Cheers!!

[@MaxPospelkov]

This is a quite simple and elegant solution. Awesome realisation! Thank you for new interesting episode of your production diary if it can be called so)))

[@OlofStorm]

Glad you like it ☺️

[@glmstudiogh]

wow.. you hand-animated all those cars in 3D for this tutorial. damnnnn.. lot of work

[@OscityEx]

It turned out super excellent!! 🙂

[@verified_tinker1818]

The amount of work that goes into something seemingly simple... humbling!

[@carlosfernandez3565]

You are an absolute inspiration

[@shishumaru]

[@unaninated]

Love your videos, there are always a great resource for me as I'm also aiming to blend 2D and 3D elements for a better work flow

[@ejicon3099]

Nicely done. Excellent work.

[@thehiphoperazed2864]

[@yahu7766]

Even though I expected it to be good I am surprised by how good it turns out!! great one as always

[@OlofStorm]

Thank you ☺️

[@gitbiran2981]

Extremely talented.

[@georgekumakanga717]

Thats a lot of work

[@wizardkob]

Beautiful!

[@rajendranbfa2008]

Really love it. Thanks a lot.🙂

[@svenhegenmusic]

one little thing I might change about the cars is adding some sort of randomisation to their position on the splines. the equal spacing between each car looks a bit too perfect. but other than that, this is a beautiful shot. Also I was wondering, if you ever think about using blender for npr rendered stuff for your film? especially with grease pencil there's a lot of cool things to do for an film like this one

[@kaelaian21]

I learned a lot from this one video. Have always wanted to attempt such a feat. Thanks for the insight Olof. Your content so eductative.....

[@krzysztofwolski9156]

This looks beautiful! But that's not all, breakdown is very detailed and easy to follow. I love your vids. I just wish I was good enough at drawing. Thanks for the great content you create!

[@OlofStorm]

Thanks a lot for your kind words!

[@stebunov]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@bro4ever771]

That is what I call passion for the craft, it looks amazing and just made me really happy ^-^

[@SeuVenancio]

Amazing.

[@johnkozack6838]

thank you Olof...you are good man , you always give us something to inspire😊

[@chenz4658]

Been to Innsbruck 9 years ago, there were fascinating views, peaceful environment. Wish to visit again in a few years.

[@my_animation]

*you are a genius!* 👍👍👍👍

[@thierrytitidu2413]

That's great. Thanks

[@gabriellepavajeau803]

[@Vegaart777]

[@antacyd]

Amazing!!!

[@courtneychross868]

Listen these are great its just incredible how your work always look so realistic

[@jamesnaughton4824]

Turned out so good man, looks gorgeous fair play ❤

[@AnimationGuy07]

You always inspires me sir Love your work ❤❤

[@romanbruni]

really nice... beautifull stylized traffic over bridge... although I miss some trees wind & cloud movement, as in a kind of semiotics kind of visual grammar. thanks for the conceptual rambling that became the dialogue I was looking for... to grow a bit my own artsy experiments too. cheers from Rio

[@y3ee3e]

one of my favorite channels..very cool tutorial...I keep wondering if I should hand draw the car animations. but 3d seems like the best option

[@user-vs1bh7dd8h]

Absolutely gorgeous work man. Really enjoy seeing how everything comes together nicely at the end. 👍

[@amerhamdy2d3danimationills40]

u inspire me

[@munkhuugan]

Super

[@nigelhill74]

The results look great! Love the background! Great painting

[@manuelalejandrogiraldolond9038]

Your work is amaizing ✨✨

[@thomas_smit]

Great explanation! I think the overall result looks amazing. Thanks!

[@SatyamAdhikary]

Thats amazing! Great work bro... In the ending where the cars turning if the shadow of the trees effect the cars man! I became mad! You can just use a gobo on top of the cars! It's just my opinion...you did a amazing work!! Love it!

[@albajogsstudio]

Well done guy

[@10minuteartist87]

very inspiring as always....

[@LawrenceAaronLuther]

very nice work

[@Tokazukashi]

I saw a truck's roof clipping in to a pillar on billboard down the road as they travel away from the camera. Did anyone else notice? By the way, the job is still incredable.

[@luisca92]

Disco diffusion, Midjourney, and stable diffusion would help your throughput astronomically

[@Nkanyiso_K]

Hey man 😎 I don't know if this is possible but I'd love to see you talk about *Summit of the Gods.* I loved your short film & since you're working on another climbing themed project, I think it would be great; even if it were patreon exclusive

[@pitrubio]

Gran genio!!

[@oWelpy]

Please make a wallpaper engine wallpaper from this!!!! SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!

[@princesarno2652]

Thank you

[@willexcel]

This looks beautiful. However, if I may offer my observation, I'd suggest making the glass reflective and having the tree shadow on the road affect the car's lighting. Right now it looks like their value stays the same.

[@roderickdeleonv]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@sameera_viraj_K]

Love your all works man. You are inspiring me a lot. Keep it up 👌✌👍

[@Fafmagic]

Love it. And comment about the Germans made me chuckle.

[@caloyanimation9155]

Ganda😊😊😊😊

[@ulyssep.1829]

amazing work!

[@letsview4853]

That's called real animator 🙂👍

[@santiagovalle450]

Worked, thx

[@jimmwagner]

Nice!

[@andrearusky]

Very nice style! A quick tip, you could separate your matte painting into 2 layers (foreground with the road and trees and background with the mountains) and place them as 3D layers in After Effects to create a bit of depth when you add the camera movement

[@bigdamnhero2297]

The most unrealistic thing about the traffic is that there are no karens on the road 😂😭 but jokes aside, beautiful work as always

[@flomuller3]

Awesome shot! Looks really great :) Maybe add some shadow from the trees to the cars coming around the corner at the other end of the bridge? Anyways, awesome shot - I'd like to see a whole movie!

[@mdasim61]

Very helpful ❤️

[@joshjackson7770]

Great video, love the content on this channel

[@SocratesAlexander]

7:50 Wow!

[@xdonfo4436]

Спасибо

[@IAmTheIpiphany]

Thanks bro, this was quality content. How long did this take you to create?

[@bestrongtoday157]

Bro you can make your own animation story 😃. It will be a great entertainment for us. And if your animation story is based on true story then it will be awesome 😃

[@ismaelilboudo5025]

Hello thanks for that, Can you explain more about colors, rendering and exportations in photoshop and clips studio paint ?

[@rag035]

Nice cap 👍❤️

[@MR-sd2bk]

1st😀 fps of car animation? 24fps?

[@OlofStorm]

Yeah the cars more on 24, could experiment with dropping it down to 12 actually. We will see in the end :)

[@zillaquazar]

instead of masking the cars behind the bridge you could have rendered your 3d model bridge as blackbody as to only show the vehicle parts you wanted and all of the bridge would be rendered as alpha, I'm sorry if it does not make much sense I only use blender

[@OlofStorm]

This make sense, however the bridge is a drawn element and not 100% lined up with the 3d geometry. Masking it only took a few seconds as its a static shot anyways.

[@zillaquazar]

@@OlofStorm either way you got the shot and it turned out fantastic. I have subscribed

[@indecentparodies]

This is so gorgeous. Can we do the same in blender?

[@derwynnamoah1310]

Can you do a tutorial of how u draw your paint your backgrounds in detail

[@serousetrick]

Hi, amazing talent you have. Is there any chance you are going to make a roadmap or similar how to become animator? Are you planning to make your own course?

[@dutelatte2154]

Really nice but the closest cars framerate looks strange like a bit choppy.

[@mr_yogiss]

Man, good work! Love this style, amazing graphics ❤❤ But the distance between the car in front is not the same. no one drives like this in real life. Maybe animation doesn't need it? Sorry, I'm not a pro
