That us! Dope. Congrats to all the great artists who participated in this challenge!

[@vismaykedilaya1318]

glad to see clint back on the couch!

[@TheAkdzyn]

You guys are awesome. Thank you for expanding and extending my interest in VFX and animation. Good luck with all your future endeavours!

After my 3rd time competing in these I couldn't be happier to finally crack the top 100 this time and have 3 people I have looked up to for years look at my art. congrats to all the winners and thanks to Clint and the crew to motivate me to make awesome art! Much Love ✌️ My render is at 1:49:49

It really is, my only minor critique is that I thought the clocks should be moving forwards in time rather than backwards, but that could just be a creative choice.

The one you picked as number one absolutely deserves the title of top render, I want to see an entire movie based on this 5 second scene, the execution of telling a story that quickly, is so well done.

28:50 I also noticed how the "sleep" section is about as long as the "work" section, and the part in the "apartment section" is really short before you have to do it all again. Just like in real life :')

[@litcrit1624]

Sam’s callout to the Moebius style of 2:30:00 was spot-on and helped me see why I loved this animation. Like Moebius, the artists understand the power of open spaces and shapes, which makes the animation and figure details sing. And I love when the floating starts and his foot misses the step.

1:14:08 - this one made me tear up. Wtf, how can a 6 second clip have that strong storytelling. The kid that followed his dream and made it. Everything is perfect wit that shot. Amazing!

[@luman1109]

3:03:27 looked the best in terms of fidelity, animation and cohesion. I feel like they almost didn't put it in top 5 because they thought it was too good

[@entropysalamander]

I'm shocked that this didn't make it, it's by far the best in my eyes.

tbh the last clip shown in the end of the video of the girl sliding between two worlds is the best and favorite one for me, like everything is perfect and so artistic and realistic at the same time, dunno how it is not in the top 5 at least but everyone has their own taste I guess. great video and great effort from everyone thank you for the beautiful art pieces.

[@neolmao9545]

@1:14:26 ... I think this one tells a story about a young boy without hands, plays pin pong as a kid, he gets so good at it as he grew older, that one day he plays in the championship arena or something.

[@alonvx2]

At 2:33:20 did they not see the knight at the top-left corner climbing up to the nest with a small dragon in it? Because that was an awesome detail in my eyes, that is the first one that felt like it's a shame they didn't talk about it enough for me. Amazing to listen to the "critiques". They felt like they were the comments on projects that were either the difference between 94-98 to 100 or like the finishing touches needed before the final release of a AAA project. Amazing animations and interesting comments that actually add to the viewing experience and are not just there for no reason. Super fun to watch it all, thanks for the content.

I think it deserved an honorable mention for top 10 at least! It was one of my favorites and I thought it was one of the most creative with minimum “fixes” needed. Should’ve had the “rope/yarn” be longer to dangle JUST out of reach of the character and be thicker and knotted, like sheets tied together trying to escape the window!

[@serjuiced]

is the character inside a coffin trying to come back to life? the window has a coffin shape and a cross shaped frames. mindblown

The black circle and moving/sliding circle at 42:30 in the museum video is just architecture and the moon thru glass thats why you get that parallax and why it feels like the moon is sliding, its black and white texture mixed with the grid of the glass and railing give it new shapes that we perceive in every frame.

1:40:25 is an amazing concept. Its like, what if all the war-torn histories collide? Like, you have dragons from mythology, samurais from kingdoms era, Train from world war time, and a modern fighter jet all at same place. Great artwork too

[@zipbob90]

These are all amazing! Only comment and note I have is that I don't think there's enough emphasis on the importance of the rhythm of the animation and the way it interacts with the materials' physics properties of the environments. Even though most of these are not custom animations, there's an importance to pay attention to the way the camera movement, and the speed at which the environment pans past, implies the rhythm and timing of the animation. One animation submission that I really liked which I felt did a very good job at respecting this aspect of the challenge was the Shadow of Colossus looking one very early on where the giant statues in the background come to life. What really stood out with this was how the camera worked with the tripping motion that organically came before the jump. Instead of consistently moving forward the motion, it hesitated, not just in a slow down impact effect but in a slowing of forward progression. This really grounded the animation into the environment respecting the material properties of the ground instead of seeming a touch floaty as if the animation and the environment are two separate thoughts and executions. But again these all are amazing! Far better than I could make, especially in the rendering and material design!

[@carlosmilite]

When I see all these talented artists, I feel good because I think that no AI, for now, will be able to replace them. I’m a 3D artist too, not as skilled, but I get emotional when I see so much creativity.

[@Carson878]

Just imo, I think if setting a rule to only start and end with a right to left wipe cut by using a blurry range of shade of grey(or whith~black) color, then all the footage can be a long smooth run without that hard cut transition in between~ As always, love your content and everyone's works!

The loop length is exactly the length of the skip forward time so when you fast forward you are in the same frame.
