Glen Keane Animates a Scene - Part 3 

That one scene is more depressing that Mufasa's death.

'Pencil mileage' was a term we used at CCAD - you have to work through the bad drawings to reach the good ones, and it takes time.Just keep drawing. I'd spend a day at the zoo and maybe get 5 or 6 sketches that really stood out. It's great to see these vids on here. Glen is among the very best of our time.

You can see the finished animation here! (just replace the [dot]s with actual dots) -> death-limes[dot]tumblr[dot]com/post/57064540297/whee-its-a-rough-animation-by-glen-keane-the

aww, the old man didn't make it :( but i loved watching the process of it being created, the scene.

Thanks for this post. It is a very rare chance to see animation in progress. Very informative.

man, i wish i could be trained by a guy like glen keane... i think hes the one of the greatest animators alive, and i also think he can be considered the new "dysney's old man". :^D

Also, where is the GIF of this? It demands to be made!

incredible

well said

Computer is a tool, it makes the job easy. Do you have any idea how a traditional animation is done? Computers made life easy for animators.

@thangQanime i never said it took no skill at all to do 3d. you just never see anything hand-done these days, it's all computers, and it'd be great if we still kept 2d going along with 3d. i genuinely hope disney doesn't fully phase 2d out. that's all!

He was no Milt Kahl and known by clean up artists as a sloppy animator. This proves it. But what a great Animator

Why on earth does CGI animation has to be consistent nowadays?!? Why does it have the consistency nowadays?! WHY?!? Bring back 2D hand drawn animation now!!! God-damn it!

@mizznash13 Yeah I completely agree actually. As a product I absolutely hate 3d only because of the direction they've taken 3d works. I take animation classes in both 2d AND 3d and know that each require and tremendous amount of skill so whenever people try to disregard one as not requiring skill I am quick to correct them. I just misunderstood your comment because of your tone. I definitely agree though, we need more 2d movies. It'd be a damn shame if they stopped altogether.

Poor trees...

poor old man, lol

What did he say at 0:14?

a film will never be as good as a book though, films are limited in what they can do, they do things well but even the lotr movies can never cover everything in the books.

great stuff!- though im sure itd be quite a challenge to clean up! -Check out FAVELADOS, the latest grad film from the AIB-

...How many pages did he use..? O.O

we need to go back to 2d. the 3d thing is cool. but it takes alot of true skill to do this.

Naw, they were just heart broken by the old man.

what's sad is to see hand drawn animated features being phased out. cgi is great but thier're just certain films that should be left to either medium like toy story for example would have been crap in pencile yet the little mermaid would have been akward looking in cgi. Thier is a certain classic emotion & fineness to traditional hand drawn animation that just isn't the same in cgi. Hand dran animated features shouldn't have been phased out. it was for years for me as a child to draw & now nada

yes because to make this type of paper we cut down sequoias everyday, its truly sad.

Eh.... for those of you saying 2D is much harder than 3D... I'd say not. Maybe by little intergers, but not by too much. 3D animation, requires for you to move every limb, body, finger, etc and yeah, I guess there are shortcuts to doing so, but 2D, you can cheat... alot. You can make things disappear or fade away 10x easier, you can give something shape by just shading, and you can move a limb/body in an instant. 3D, has a lot of 3D modeling they have to deal with too....

i couldnt see shit

@mizznash13 It takes skill to do 3d as well. You think that shit is easy? I am more a fan of good traditional 2d but don't sell 3d short.

i guess you know nothing of animation do you?

2 people dont know how to draw

This video is same age as me lol
