The Art of Animation | a video essay

Hey there!
So if anyone sees this, just for an explanation, if any of this doesn't make sense, this was half of my dissertation submission for Uni. If it feels like the pacing is weird and I kinda fly past some subjects, its because it is and I do but time limits kinda suck.
Anyway I hope you enjoy,
Stay safe!

Hey there! So this video got way more attention than I ever thought it would, I really cannot thank people enough for all the kind words that have been said, I'm so glad people liked it!

[@josephhernberg9478]

Great video!!!!

[@IliasBeekveldt]

It is a great video :)

[@luwigiagain84]

This is one of the most thoughtful looks into animation (not the art of animation, but animation itself) that I have ever seen. *Thank you.*

[@silverhowl9331]

That’s a beautiful way of putting it! It’s like being the god of your creation, and witnessing your creation move like a living being, I always loved seeing that in Disney films and Pixar films and the joys of watching cartoons from my childhood!

[@mxumbrella9103]

I had my first animation lesson today and our teacher showed us this video. I love animation and i feel like this video explains perfectly why. Truly a great video

[@Peterbyte]

Aha i had no idea it'd be used in classes, that just made my day! Thank you and good luck with your lessons!

[@areebhussain321]

Best video regarding animation out there. Finished the video expecting a high view & like count. You’re extremely underrated. Animation is the best form of storytelling, and you have conveyed that perfectly.

[@RADZ97]

Absolutely brilliant, hope you make more videos like this in the future

[@sicuw1773]

extremely underrated

[@theorist]

Beautifully said. Great video! I have a question tho. How do you get the text doing that cute twinkle effect where it moves slightly back and forth? Im trying to do that to the text in my videos but i cant nail it like that. Do you hand draw it?

[@Peterbyte]

Thankyou! Er I learned it from the Dan Stevers youtube channel, just look up Jittery Type!

[@theorist]

@@Peterbyte oh my goddd, thank you!!! i've been trying to figure out what the hell its called

[@Peterbyte]

@@theorist aha no worries I had the same problem for a long time!

[@Traxie]

Hey, this is a pretty good video, I actually learned something new and it was fun, It just saddens me that there are probably more small channels with such an interesting content who won't get hundreds thousands views like some video essays... Still though, keep going, you're gonna get places if you keep doing vids like these

[@imtoddhowardandimadeskyrim6553]

The fact that this video has less than 1k views gives me a unrealistic amount of rage

[@theamazingdante1927]

This video is so good it's extremely underrated! Great video, man.

[@Nyalpha]

Very nice, I hope ya continue to make things in the future ^.^

[@b.n.a546]

Good video!

[@sketchtoons9587]

You inspire me to make my animations better and I love this vid with all my Heart make more on animations pls

[@elijahmcdaniels922]

How is this not viewed more this video is beautiful I love it

[@gz5537]

Hey Ik this vid is two years old so you probably won’t see this but I have to do a 12 page research paper and 20 minute presentation for school, do u have any recommendations for sources surrounding animation , documentary’s , interviews, articles, books, etc? And thanks for the amazing vid super inspiring ❤

[@Peterbyte]

Hey there, thank you for the kind words! So when I did my project it was mainly focused around Pixar specifically, so for books I can definitely recommend 'Creativity Inc.'. It focused a lot on the behind the scenes stuff for the first decade of their films but there was a bunch of technical stuff in there too. If you really want to go for the technical angle though, 'Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life' is widely considered to be the go-to for almost all western animators. For documentaries I remember The Pixar Story was pretty good, but again i was centering my project around Pixar And I haven't seen them personally, but i hear there's a pretty amazing documentary series called 10 years with Hayao Miyazaki if you're looking for some more anime stuff oh and interview wise, almost anything with Pete Doctor and Brad Bird were great, hope that helps :P

[@takatsotsuari1852]

[@Peterbyte]

[@danielcods]

Beautiful vid and welcome back

[@EtamirTheDemiDeer]

Wh- ONLY 150 subs?! With this level of quality??? Impossible. Algorithm gods! I respectfully demand you rectify this oversight immediately! I offer this like, sub, and comment in return

[@abdallammar]

Hey bro, Make more videos like this and this channel has to grow up, Keep going!

[@こんでれやの]

great video man, great editing and information and your voice is calming, good job!

[@18Gingasoldier]

This video is underrated. Great job!

[@nadk666]

Beautifully described, I remembered how walle the robot has just eyes but the way they made him so lovable , expressed his feelings, all the gestures .. simply incredible and brilliant. Animation is definitely about observing life’s movements in such details and then expressing it through art that it can leave one speechless.

[@BootyCrusader]

Goah, this deserves so many more views. I love this. Thank you for putting this out here :)
