Animusic is midi mapped animation, it's actually pretty incredible how they did it with the technology they had. Also none of the notes could've been animated incorrectly or inaccurately because the music was all made in unison along with the animation
Here's one that's technically not from animation, and you can't see how he hits the drums, but a skilled drummer might be able to rate it anyway: Rowan Atkinson's classic Invisible Drum Kit skit. Does his movements match the sound as well as it seems like?
We actually played Drum Machine as a percussion ensemble in high school and it was super fun. My percussion teacher was obsessed with those videos and we actually had the video play on a screen while we performed it.
@@Nareimooncatt except in the ibm video, the balls didnt actually play anything. The music was a separate track. You can see some balls miss yet the note still plays.
Code Lyoko Season 1 Episode 2 "Seeing Is Believing " In the episode there's several examples, as one of the main characters is trying to find a drummer for his band. There's several drummers in several styles, and even as a kid they all looked incorrect.
The cool thing about Animusic is that it uses the animation as a mark for a MIDI file to play a sound. An example of this would be; Tom 1 was hit, so the MIDI file containing the sound for Tom 1 will be played. Pretty cool, especially for the kind of animation and technology they had way back then, compared to now. Still waiting for Animusic 3...
I was always impressed by how Animusic had special software that would drive their animation using the music, rather than creating an animation and making music to fit it. It's why they were able to use the same assets to make "Pipe Dream 2," by just swapping out the music file. It was, of course, a little more complicated than that (they had to pick the camera angles, and other little adjustments to make everything work perfectly) but the process they used was always so great to see because it made the immersion so deep. There were no "wrong" notes, and for a lot of their stuff you could think "this is actually possible, if someone ever bothered to build this."
2:14 ngl, it looks pretty fun to play like that. And I could definitely see a whacky 80s no-substance arena rock band drummer setting up his kit like that.
I watched a short video, I guess you could call it documentary, of how animusic was animated and programed, and it was really cool and efficient how they did it! I'd recommend going to check it out if you haven't seen it already
You know, given that starfish are radially symmetrical, I’ll bet they _would_ set up a drum set the way Patrick has. What I find a lot more confusing is what those drums are supposed to be. They look like a bunch of practice pads turned on their sides at ninety degree angles.
How it is that this was the first of this series I've seen, @EMCproductions, I will never know. That said, it surely won't be the last. Having watched your take on Patrick Star's circular drum cadence, it reminds me of the galactic circular drum 'set' that George Jetson plays in an old episode of the Jetsons where he was spying on his daughter Judy after she won the Jet Screamer song contest- in order to not exactly be found, George Jetson plays the drums (much to Judy's surprise) & as a result he becomes the president of the Jet Screamer fan club. Definitely worth a watch/listen for accuracy... especially because he's seen going all the way around for the full futuristic effect.
It's always great to see people talk about Animusic. I also grew up OBSESSED with these videos. Hell, I'm _still_ obsessed. This music left a mark on a generation for sure. Definitely great to see another fellow musician appreciate the artistry and attention to detail.
Kirby and the forgotten land has a band in waddle dee town with a pianist, two guitarists and a drummer and over 87 songs but only pick one. I would like to know how accurate the drummer is…
I'm conflicted between the simpler, straight to the point videos and these longer ones which take more time but admittedly are presented in an entertaining way
Phineas and Ferb, I know they have quite a few, they have a couple scenes from the episode "Getting the bacd back together " and they have a few others. definitely check them out.
been watching all 4 episodes after discovering them today. I am a bit surprised that in the episode with games GTA Vice City stories didn't appear with Phil Collins "In the air tonight" nor any of the Love handle songs from Phineas and Ferb. Great series though... subbed and checking out the channel for other drum related videos.
It's so funny that this video even exists because you know this exact topic has always crossed your mind and wanted to discuss it with somebody else who cares... Im dying 🤣😭💀. Genius content here
