 Welcome back to another animation analysis and this time I'm going to take a look at the student show real of 2019 From animation mentor right off the bat. I love the look and if you are fascinated by the renders the way I am They are right there in the credits amongst other people of course in the credits, but I just love the look already There's a lot of cool stuff here in terms of the weight right up the bat you can tell the timing is great The sense of weight is great Nice poses love the squishiness and the stylization of the prop and the character gonna switch colors here This is really cool, too. You got the cool impact of this on the ground Your squishiness in the wheels, but it does impact the character including a helmet there. It's very cool. We're again clean poses Look at that. It's nice. It's very cool. Love that shock I'm always a big fan of props and it'll set pieces interacting and animating see the little bit Wiggle in this of course the effects here are awesome. I love all this That's really cool, too. I love the timing of this Really nice clean poses. That's really cool, too. Look at that. Come on I know this is going to be like half an hour of me going Love the poses love the timing and see patient of all this look at that Beautiful shapes there Everything that's going on in here catches that again. Look at that So cool all those effects. I love this such a cool look It's very cool. Then off the bat this one too big fan of the look now I say in previous clips that you should not focus on the render the animation should be awesome but in this case the animation is already awesome and here's a great example of Showing what you can do with great animation when once you add Set pieces and lighting and sound effects in music. It's so great, but let's go back to the animation. I Love this here. This is a really cool moment of just having that kind of a creature Beginning pose. I love that. It doesn't go straight into this that it has just that moment Just love that. I just love that character goes back. You got changes in the fingers here Getting into this. I love all this too here That I look at this. I love that ripple in here Great mechanics. There's a lot of this that I really like in terms of just showcasing what's going on with the nice clean separate colors. I love that beginning anticipation pose. I Love that you have very complicated mechanics where the camera pan allows you to do all this a lot of times Mentors and teachers. I'm guilty with this as well We kind of recommend the static camera so you can just focus on the animation whose camera work is complicated It's difficult. It's not easy thing to do and CG cameras can always look very static and complicated Not complicated, but just not you know kind of clunky But this is really well done and it helps because it gives room for the character to go somewhere and again I love the mechanics. I love the sliding of this Very cool And this is gonna be just me Gushing all the time, but I just love everything about this shot here It's very cute integration of this cute character with that. I love the constant focus on this with that pose It's very cool just in general the posing the contrast the timing let's go back here So it's a long clip. So when I scrub it goes all the way back I think it's really good rhythm to where it's a bit slower It gives us enough time as an audience member to know understand where they are know the characters Then you got a really Cute and complicated movement over there. It's very cool same for this one I'm always a big fan of intros where something just kind of pops into frame to me this could be really cool First shot on the real but this one as well. I mean all of these are very well done I really like the different hand poses. They're very Clean and very detailed But the performance is great a symmetry in the face is great all the movement in the body is great The usage of space look at that. It's very appealing facial pose I love that she uses space here a lot of times students also kind of have a character in one place It's kind of locked like they're kind of friend of showing weight shifts and mechanics And it's kind of like that dreaded IK legs on the ground bolted down they kept move and it's a bit bummer because with this you could show off the weight shifts and the changes Look at that and you have opportunities to move big into a big pose. Just great Love all those kind of little details and things like this big fan of props and using this again Nice varied hand pose finger pose here. It's great weight in simple things like an arm drop It's a nice impact there a nice weight Same thing here character starting here in this place Again, nice usage of the background and colors giving you a really nice silhouette. I Love all this too because whenever you have someone on stage, right? So you give this poster light curtains this was okay This must be an addition or he's just doing something for theater now because of that It allows you to go big and technically in quotation marks overact, but on purpose, which is great Love this just a great animation too Also names are always there very nicely done nice finger poses love the stiffness. It's also great contrast in terms of lots of arcs like lots of fluid movements and Then goes into our the stiffness. It's just a nice contrast and really nicely done This one's great too. I mean, I know it's gonna be the whole real is gonna be this But this is a good example of a static camera with a very very like a one point like very very flat perspective Which is used in a lot of Kind of comedy in the movies stuff like that. It is almost like a Wes Anderson thing with That type of outfit in those colors, but I love that in this case it works. You want a static camera because You got that entrance which you know if you would pan over it would kind of ruin the surprise So this is very clean to lots of exaggerated poses in here. Of course usage of prop, which is nice Check this really is made for me I love too that it's just someone taking the job so seriously But to such an extent of just having fun with it, but great stuff there too in details with the hat And I like this like that at the end They got that little extra little thing here look at that but then you can again showcase nice arcs Just like extra detail in terms of polish It's great to the the the color I mean the rendering on this and the colors that helps with the silhouette and everything It's just so well done. Well, I love this this change of expression with the drop in the mouth Get that squishiness where you can feel the cheeks coming down and it knows being pulled down So good and then with that reaction So good what I like about this one too at the end is when her legs come up You would think that while I'm gonna do legs up and the legs drop but look what this leg is doing Separate exit separate timing and that is just that added a little asymmetry that'll contrast as watchers again here So good. It just gives you that one little Insight is the enemy to going. Yeah. Yeah. I know that I can't just go one axis up and down and repeat No, no, no I'm going to take care of every single piece of the body every body part is gonna have its own movement on timing Full see asymmetry and contrast is actually when I saw this clip is the one of the reasons I thought oh, I gotta talk about this because this is such a great example Bang so good to know the great example of Just a nice set a nice look like that'll ominous push push in with the camera It's good focus and there's a characters You know the eye contact is good a lot of times with the students or myself after those kind of double check The eye line is not all funky It's a good connection there It's also good back and forth in terms of winner We're supposed to look there's not a competing action in terms of a lot of movement and a lot of movement there We know when to go back and forth And it's cool to where we have that that exit there and this could be done It's one of the examples that I bring up on my channel is that just because the audio is done Doesn't mean that you have to be done and it gives that character You know a little bit chance to have a reaction to all this which is really cool It's great to just that that the repetitiveness and all of that just goes into her pose of this is so boring It's a great walk Again, it's good contrast to it in her where she's just completely you can see just the posing everything is ah and then Fully straightening up. I love the contrast in that pose It's great to where there's that stiffness where you have no darts no bling. She's completely mesmerized by this I love that look cool, too. I like that you switch from a white where you can see full-body mechanics To a closer look on the faces such great expressions Also tricky to do when you hold props that you don't have full IK arms where the body moves and kind of the the hands and Arms kind of stuck in space is nicely done here where it feels connected to the body Again, lots of extra nice little details on the hair, I love the change in expression The stretchiness in the face and look at that. It's just such a great look and this is so good I love that ending a again because of the look again. I have to just compliment the lighters It's technically a simple step set not step, but I love that I love the little touches there showing how out of control this party is the nicely depth of field out of focus elements Great, I love that that she's on the stairs like for me It's always when you look at a set that set can give you ideas for your poses and again because of this It gives you a symmetry in the pose, but I love all of this And I love that such a great It's not like she I love it like she's yelling it But the pose is kind of like she's so drunk that she can only say this but the pose tells her tells us Oh, I love him and I really love you not just like you So good, and I like that drop against the wall. You can feel the weight So good. Oh, this one's great to It's a great contrast in movement. I love that This beautiful poses lots of movement, right? Lots of energy lots of stuff happening and then oh I get goosebumps. I love this. It's so cool How you have so much movement and then it slows down and it fits the character I mean, that's a pose and she has that as a ballerina and goes that it'll be the beautiful exit Such a cool shot. I love it. Oh Man come on. This could be out of a movie. I love that the Changes in her posing and what she like she uses him like a prop so good, sorry, I'm completely Transfixed by the poses I Like the I'm attracted. I like that the energy in the chest and the head That it's not just feel like you know a pose and then a copy paste the lip sync We're just kind of the jaw movement and it doesn't really affect the body There's no it doesn't quite feel like she's actually saying the words but in this case, it's really well done Because I like that the rhythm in there that fits the audio Love the timing on her move up Whip into this And I love that stuff like that interaction stuff is always interesting to see it's complicated to do with the constraints And you want to really feel like there are connecting. It's great That's good too Because technically when you listen to the audio She's kind of explaining what she likes It's always like an exposition like she's because she's going down a list of things she likes And it's technically kind of boring to listen to but I like that the animator use this moment With the list and and oh, I like this and this and a character to push it to push the animation to do stuff like this Tall and he's he's little so he uses that to push her up showing weight It's just a great usage of like a contrasting animation to the actual audio It's always great when you actually frame through and you can see the drag there. So great Great sense of weight. I like the bounciness on him again. Just the attitude the head accents. So good This one was great to talk about a great usage of sound So technically will Farrell fairly used in animation and it's a very recognizable Audio and I would technically not use it but and also the what he says here I mean, he's delivery is nice. Of course is good actor But it's also a bit of an exposition type of thing where he explains what this is what happened But what I love about this example It's great. I like how the heck goes back with that shape, but I like that the contrast I'm such a good set again. Sorry. I'm completely gushing over just the set pieces Set dressing and everything just so great, but I like that the contrast is that he in the audio says how good he is But in the animation, it's the opposite I think this is a really great example of doing something very interesting and creative with the audio, right? Like a panther sucks his prey, but he's completely tired or drunk or Just not really not really what the audio is telling us I thought this was a really really great example of using the audio in a very interesting way This one's great, too I mean when it's well, I mean hopefully you've seen this before but the usage of the staging and again with the that type of lighting I mean that came afterwards, but with the audio that you can really use the exaggerated poses and expressions It's great. Look at that. I love all this here. It's really nicely done thought the finger poses facial expressions to get really really close, but Yeah, yeah Such a great moment Love our outfit. It's great. The line is great Love this. I love that. I'll reveal It's great again. I'm such a big fan of head accents and the way she does this You just a little subtle not sure with a little Side to side and then they're bringing out of the jaw. They're not sure so good It's great, too Lots of detail there too nicely done next up body mechanics something like this with lots of movement You gotta have a moving camera to give you the freedom really nice posing shapes there look at that It's very cool. Nice clean poses. Nice weight. I like this here Again, it's cool. The usage of different camera angles kind of showcase different aspects of the body mechanics Where you want to change the camera to show off different type of silhouettes different looks of it great, it's great to do that great pose and And I like again the usage where you go from far away to Still moment of off-screen and coming back down seeing things more close up Same thing here, I like the transition to in the Demerill flow the jump in the jump and land full extension, of course nice Great weight nice clean posing again the set and the look come on so good Great tool surprise there of all that extra detail, of course clean poses a little stretch Really cool. It's funny how it goes from super cartoony. That's a really creepy looking real cat They cracked me up when I was watching this nice to done though nice camera work again this Being a bit more for real look you can use that with a bit more for handheld realistic camera. It kind of fits the style Wow, that's a complicated movements really nice to learn George. Oh Yeah, I've seen this before actually on Twitter. This is really cool to a combination of creature work with human Love that I loved you can sense the the slipperiness Always a big fan of using like I said characters on a set But I always tell my students if you have a set think about it Is it slippery could it be ice could it be something with little stones that make it slippery? Or is it grass or something where it's kind of sticky or swamp like this is up to you as an animator to show Us what is the property of this and can I use this interesting way where the character is interacting with this? So right off the bat. Yeah. Yeah, love it Oh Great, I love this too also rarely done where it's not lip-sync in terms of this an audio piece where someone talks But it's actually the character going hey and even if this sound was added later It's just if you animate this you don't need sound You could but you can still pretend to yell you can still record this yourself put that in Maya and animate to it And I like that. I like that. It's a non lip-sync piece where character actually still make sounds technically Great to love that that it's not super clean gets off the cliff readjustments Beautiful I love this here too words You would think that while I got to go up and land but no in that moment I'm still doing some really cool movements really clean poses love this so great Great. I love that sense of weight Oh, it's great. It's not clean where it's just kind of Constraints and and it's kind of flattens there and stays it just has a nice bounciness a nice feel to it Cool to with the camera to get closer because you want to show off the cool details here Sorry to mess my silence because I'm watching this quite. This is so cool Cool to interesting perspective Or you can showcase the stretchiness and kind of the danger of this character approaching. It's very cool All the way to here That's cool too. I'm a big fan when you have super hero stuff different type of weight It's nice nice wait there too on the landing doing Cool runs you over comfort pen in a way lots of cool stretchiness Nice timing there again something where you want all that movement. You have you have the camera go forward with it It can't be a static move That's cool too. Look at that. I love all this and it's nicely done right there with the silhouette because of the Sunsetting nice done too with the Clint again whoever lit this I don't know who did this specifically but like a big big applause to the lighting and rendering team so cool Love the contrasting aspects to where you have a lot of jumping and everything and then it goes into very Flat crawling just a different contrasting moves are really nice Of course, I'm a big fan of dinosaurs and creatures and action stuff So cool again big fan of that camera movement and you have elements in the foreground that gives you just Interesting views where it's such as the flat surface you have all of this giving you a bit more contrast even just in the set For some parallax as well. It's really nice. I love that look. Sorry. I'm just so distracted in a good way This is great too that'll just a nice moment of the arm drag giving us a really nice clear silhouette Into this great timing too here on that hold whoop bam Good stuff. I love that pose too all together there coming back with the curl tail So cool Interesting. I love this too where it's not it doesn't feel like it's a like like the character wants to be light on their feet and Fight but you still sense the weight of the suit Boom boom. Oh nice very cool Oh It's done what a bummer I was hoping it's gonna be a half an hour longer. So cool Congratulations to all the students. This is absolutely amazing work. And of course the credits here Give all those people a raise a raise I say it's like Gimli in low the rings a mine Mine they should be yelling a raise a raise Fantastic so cool. Now if you like all this, of course, link in description where you can apply I'm biased because I teach there but come on you can tell there's so much talent in there great work overall So if you want to watch the whole reel without me Blathering about it link a description for the whole thing and check out animation mentor if you want to apply to the school Yes, I'm biased because I teach there, but it's a great community great people organizing this the mentors are great There's overall can't recommend it enough Fantastic
