18:56 Guys, he said handful at the end of the video, which is actually a clever reference to the title of the video. What makes this joke so funny is that it actually uses the fact that the animators 3D modeled a hand in this video, which is the central idea of this video. This central idea (or motif, for those of you more literarily inclined) is also put in the title to give a heads up to everyone who is watching that this will be a video on the starting of animation, and suggesting that a hand is relevant in that situation. Now, fast forward to the end and you will notice that he says “handful” to refer to the hand that seemingly started animation. This is also a satisfying joke since it all comes back around full circle. As humans, we like it when something appears at the start, and end of media. However, I would argue that Camwing is just trying to scratch this itch inside of us without going through the hard work of really making it satisfying. I appreciate this clever “full circle” strategy, but it’s like appreciating sweet food. No matter what, it will likely be enjoyable, but that does not necessarily make it good since all sweets are enjoyable. Camwing uses something that is similar to a sweet. Sweets can still be tasty even if they’re bad. My favorite sweet is actually Hershey’s chocolate bars. When you take a bite out of them, they never fail to disappoint, unlike Camwing’s ending. I kind of wish everything was a Hershey’s Chocolate Bar? Maybe that’s just the greed talking. They are just so good, and as a glutton, I just want more and more and more. But that’s just my human instinct talking. Humans are too greedy. We want more food, water, and shelter than we need, and we just consume, consume, consume, but never give, give, give. We can make the world a better place if we all were a little less greedy. I should have accepted the fact that Camwing made a “full-circle” style joke, even if it wasn’t executed all too well. Anyways, that’s why Camwing’s joke at the end involving the reference to the hand was really funny.

Animation, both as a medium and it’s history is so insane. Also, don’t know if it was intentional, but Sam knowing the door was open and you climbing through the window to get in is a great joke about amateur animators making things way harder and seasoned ones finding/making work arounds.

Unless I've misunderstood your confusion, the kind of camera they would have used to capture the screen is called a **Pin Registered** Camera; they're designed such that they can hold a frame perfectly still until any number of adjustments are made during multiple exposures, or in this case, long exposures, ensuring there won't be any bleed or overlap.

16:47 incredible save of the segment, honestly. Great video! While I certainly wouldn’t mind more animation history, I do have a suggestion. The video has a very consistent level of energy. It certainly isn’t bad to have a comfortable low energy tone for a video, but it could be helpful to think about ways to vary the level of energy, things like occasionally speeding up the editing and pacing. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER, this is purely food for thought. I have no experience and am merely comparing the feeling of watching different videos, and philosophizing about why.

For an up and coming channel, I think the Decoder (podcast) episode with Hank Green and Nilay Patel is an essential listen. In it, Nilay Patel argues that having fun with your creations is more important than any other metric or approach when seeking to grow & maintain an internet audience. He argues that gaming the algorithm, SEO-shanigans, chasing trends and whatnot can result in temporary successes, but they also tend to bore people in the long run. Having fun, on the other hand, is what people naturally gravitate towards and seek out in the long term. So instead of asking us-the audience-what we expect or hope to see, ask yourself how you can have the most fun with the videos 😄

I've actually been reading about this stuff lately, it's super interesting, excellent video. I also think it's interesting how Nolan Bushnell the founder of Atari and Chuck E Cheese probably knew Edwin Catmull from attending the University of Utah as they both would've been there at the same time and were both studying computers. It doesn't end there though, before Lucasfilm formed the Graphics Group, they had acquired Kadabrascope from Nolan Bushnell, which was meant to be a cg animation studio but I think Bushnell was losing money and had to sell some of his assets and that was one of them, and those Kadabrascope assets were used for the Graphics Group

A few more data points to tack on - even with the artificial attempts to keep wages low "for job security" and such, around 10 years ago Pixar started having round after round of layoffs (the only reason I'm no longer there). The culture shift was noticeable, going from an amazing place that cared about it's employees to just another company to work for. :( Also during my time Pixar _did_ explore opportunities to outsource animation to cheaper places (Canada, for example), so there's that.

Ugh, that sucks. At the time of writing the script they're still keeping animation in house, but just 2 days ago they announced 175 job cuts. Pretty miserable to see when the base salary of one executive is the equivalent of nearly 200 lower level employees. The Disney acquisition is ultimately what put them down this path, I really wish they could've stayed independent.

For a frame of reference on the salary scale; in 2009 in Pixar entry level salaries were 50k while dream works paid 60k. The story I got from classmates in the industry was vfx workers were sleeping in bunk beds 4-5 people per apartment room. Additionally Parke is barely mentioned but he went on to teach at Texas A&M and has educated tons of vfx artists that have created many of your favorite movies and video games.

I really enjoy this storytelling medium and I always thought that it was a little stupid when people like Jaden or domics made the exact same format but for goofy little slice of life stories. If a medium exists then you can take it to different places. Doesn't always mean that everyone's going to enjoy it, but I really enjoy this animation style and it's fun to have something comforting to look at while receiving intriguing information.

I made a 3D hand not too long ago in Blender - I was pretty proud of getting it down to 347 verts. 1041 data points. Looks good too, but it's a hard task to get things that low poly because the peaks and valleys get confused and confusing, especially if you need it to bend and gesture.... and to crease right to make a fist as well as a slap or a grab.

Great video. As soon as I saw your video title, I knew the story you were referring to. Ed Catmull's book "Creativity, Inc." amazingly goes over the early days of Pixar. You must do a whole video on the GENISIS EFFECT from Star Trek 2. THAT was a rockstar team whose names we still use today (Like Jim Blinn, he was the one to write the first smoothing algaritham that we still uses today. Smooth shedding was once called BLINN shedding). That scene was also the proving ground for BUMP MAPS and Mandelbrot fractals. The particle WAVE that sweeps the planet was also groundbreaking, so much so that the computer engineer who did that started a company you may have heard of, WAVEFRONT, that later merged with ALISES, which was bought up by AutoDesk. Also, it's hard to talk about the software side of things without getting into the hardware side, like the Pixar box and Edit Droid (which was later sold off, much like the Pixar team, became AVID). The other player at that time who deserves so much credit for making all of this possible is Silicon Graphics. NO ONE was making GPU; there didn't exist. Silicon Graphics built the first REFRIGERATER-sized computers with dedicated hardware that would become the backbone of the emerging CG industry. Sorry for the rant, I am a fellow 3d artist and a complete geek for this stuff, and you, sir, hit my resonating frequency. Keep up the great work.

Jim Blinn and his work are fascinating, especially the super early astrophysics simulations he helped to develop with NASA. Pretty much everybody who worked on the Genesis Effect sequence deserve their own video, they all made some massive contributions. I've got a couple other projects in the works that I need to finish up first, but I will definitely be coming back to this topic.

As for creators being paid properly I've seen it where there's a pay structure that gives bonuses for how well a project does but it's not that common.

The new textbook Empire of Effects which delves into ILM retrospectively also comments on their resistance to cgi It was a mix of: CGI being a trending fad like 3D films were to us, not being photorealistic enough to pass their standards over practical props & their optical printers, only as a experimental niche technology with few uses, and the standard hate/fear that computers will kill their jobs They were fighting to get onto any films while other crew members being classically trained & inspired animators wanted to make their own work like the animation industry not just be in service of whatever film they were assigned effects too. Even the lucasfilm yearbooks passingly mention the graphics crew like they weren’t as deserving as other departments. Not getting any visits from Lucas like ILM & other films had and no technician became a ceremony nominee when Young Sherlock might’ve won the effects Oscar While Lucas did utilize computer both for a few standout shots and especially ILM motion control cameras he was still an outsider on this technology only prioritizing Pixar to invent movie editing softwares and filmreel scanners before selling them due to budget cuts as a failure. Open minded Dennis Murren had to rebuild the CGI department with his “Mac squad” by the time of Willow & The Abyss however Lucasfilm has mythologized the history like Pixar never truly left or they always embraced cgi since their first films
