Richard Williams Animated Ads Best Ones 1.vob

[@illgo6768]

This guy could literally animate anything he wanted wtf

[@michaelboydston313]

He learned from Chuck Jones and Milt Kahl, had a great team, and created his own formula by combining techniques

I find kinda odd that this Richard Williams animated cigarettes ads and ALSO commercials about the hazards of smoking....

[@minimacaroon9186]

1. he's getting paid for making the commercial 2. times change

[@IosonoOtakuman]

***** I know right?

[@hverdagen8429]

Everyone was making ads for cigarettes back in those days... I'm just appreciating the animation

[@880728leonjf]

this days, now to earn money some artist have to make porn or cigarettes and alcohol games (social games)

[@jimmythegrape8121]

None of those are his goals actually.

[@Andrew-ze6kq]

The animation for these commercials are some of the most amazing I've ever seen.

[@OllieByGolly]

What I love the best about Richard Williams animation is the consistency of the characters' movement. Whether realistic or cartoonish, they move in a smooth, distinctly "Williams" manner.

[@torpedoboy4]

OllieByGolly yep, he didn’t skimp on the frames at all. Always smooth and strangely life-like.

It’s simple why. Drawing the character only does half the job the movement of a character finishes the job

[@E.M.A]

weird how high animation budgets were for commercials back then

[@realar]

Now they don't care, just put everything in CG.

[@cheekybum1513]

realar you say that like cg is cheap

[@LOCKEYJ]

Cheeky Bum it is comparatively much cheaper

[@thespontaneoustomato2676]

​@@realar CGI is not at all cheap. Especially for one-time-off commercials, where the 3D models will never be used again. In these use cases, 3D animation is ususally just as expensive as 2D

[@DK-fd3fi]

Budget direct has good ads tho?

[@kalkazar13]

In the wake of Richard's death, I've been watching some of these old TV commercials, and can't help but marvel at the wide variety of styles he was able to master. Some of these designs were absolutely not meant to be animated. The Tic-Tacs commercial, for example, has things like visible folds in the clothing of its characters: details that are far too complicated to be drawn over and over again. But Richard Williams was a man who could convincingly put animated characters next to actual humans. No task was too great for him, and the world already feels a little less interesting for his loss.

[@saph100]

And look on the bright side, he lived to be almost 90 and kept going right up until the very end.

[@flightlesscoffeebirdboy9655]

This guy has diverse and wide range of style

[@apexone5502]

Amazing artwork and fluid animation. Great material.

[@kaneda7368]

1:43 blew my mind. I had to watch it like 3 times to feel comfortable.

[@handsomebrick]

Watching this is like being a kid watching those animated skits on Sesame Street.

[@maxbrandt6]

A great bit of animation, we just don't see this kind of advertising anymore and I had no idea Disney and Fanta had a partnership but those where simpler days, when all Disney cared about was dancing ducks and talking mice.

[@NitwitsWorld]

I mean mostly money is one and another they mostly put ADs on the internet at most

[@DerangedDurain]

It sucks that commercials like these are rare nowadays. The last recent commercials I can remember that captured the same feel as the ads in this video were the Oregon tourism ads. If you haven't seen those ads, they're on youtube and they are definitely worth the watch.

[@theusher2893]

Fun fact: the designer for the Jovan ad was none other than the legendary Frank Frazetta.

[@DDay12G]

The lion one is definitely my favourite >:3

[@julialivingston-adams2909]

Agreed. Some of those old ad writers used to have a delightfully wry sense of humor. They knew that the best way to get people to remember you was to make them smile. I also like the aftershave one ("Remember, never for evil!") because the premise is just so bizarre. Also, the lighting and angles look really nice! That must have been so hard to animate, though, and those ad agencies expect you to work quick.

[@123mrblonde]

Reminds me of the Fritz The Cat movie

[@rassilontdavros3004]

It’s _extremely_ fluid.

Dang it, this man does not does not enough credit for such beautiful work. Rest in peace, Mr. Williams. ❤

[@jamespuleo3269]

His beautiful half-hour version of "A Christmas Carol" totally blew my mind as a 14 year old in 1972. And it is still just as amazing~~ faces, shadows, clouds and fog, architecture, ~~I had no idea animation could do that. And it starred the voice of Alistair Sim! Everyone who loves animation should see it.

Older ads used to 1. catch attention 2. great music/narration 3. memorable 4. creative 5. conveyed the product being advertised. Now all ads are aimed at: 1. something stupid or outlandish to try to catch attention 2. forget to convey what is even being advertised

That art style with the nine lives should've been used for a modern day reimagining of Tex Avery shorts. Has that type of animation been used in other productions?

There was a tv show called "The Wacky World of Tex Avery" that wanted to reboot tex's style but it wasn't very good

[@NitwitsWorld]

Lao-G ROTTEN it sucked and worse his daughter was the one who sold the rights to allow them to make a cartoon in the Tex Avery style but couldn’t legally use any of the legacy characters so they just tried to use original OCs do not steal

The only time I ever saw the Jovan barbarian commercial on television was during Saturday Night Live, back when it was worth watching. I wasn't sure if it was a real ad, or one of their over-the-top parodies... Had the same reaction when I saw the first ad for *Sudden Impact* (Dirty Harry movie) on SNL later... But then its ads showed-up elsewhere.

The ad from 1:06 to 1:30 was amazingly good and here’s why. In the advertisement about Sex Appeal, they say “Use it never for evil. Only for good.” To me, that’s an incredibly progressive statement to make even back then. On another level, it’s anti-rape. Bravo.
