How I Animated This Video 

I pray Who Sees This Will Be Successful In Life , God Has Plan For Anything Trust The Process Never Give Up God Bless Everyone ❤️ 🙏

THANK YOU!!

I love you joel

Poggers Joel. This is super neat thank for sharing

You absolutely deserve it, I've gone back and watched so many of your old videos and they are all top tier.

yeah. That's the part that got me.. i was like thinking this is some inception type ish. haha love it.

Complete Mad lad

definitely, i really loved what he had to say at the end

"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents." - Bob Ross It's nice when people don't gatekeep and want others to join in on their hobby/profession .

Absolutely!

It’s the love of expression and compassion for his neighbor.

Like the guy who owns vanta black and keeps it from the public

W-who is Joe?

If everyone is super, no one is super. -syndrome, I think

i clicked this comment right when he said those lines

I wonder if he has a similar sentiment to how ai is nowadays where you dont even need to do anything yourself whatsoever. Is that still a cheat code or has it crossed the line

Ikr lol

I was 70th like and I’d like to apologize for that lmao

He also does some fantastic croch work!

Goodluck!

Oh fuck Boris is gonna animate another video!

Literally all channels from across the internet enjoys this guy. Small world man. Also howdy Boris.

Opa!

Surprise surprise, art is a product, not a process.

@@joelmichaelviado1226 definitely not from the perspective of an artist lol

@@joelmichaelviado1226 it's both , goofy

@@joelmichaelviado1226 In the eyes of the artist, it is both the process and the product. In the perspective of the consumers, it's just the product. It is very rare these days that patrons pay you for anything you are yet to create. The only ones that do those are museums and galleries, and most of the time, only for established artists who can sell anything due to their names. Artists outside that category are starving, so they'd have to keep grinding to produce art for tge consumers to earn a living. I'm talking digital artists, animators, mangaka, portrait artists, etc.

I heard that the clip from take on me was rotoscoped and it was the most expensive and time consuming thing ever for the group

i found a rare sight of a youtuber with million(s) of subs without replies

Yep

@aprilsmith6558 Yep

@@BambiRagebecause the video is over 2 years old and this comment is just 2 weeks ago so it got left in the ruins of comment section

Yes! It's such an incredible tool!

That's crazy...

Crazy. Time to make rotoscope anime

PM ME YOUR TEST VIDEOS

My thoughts exactly, excellent software

Also, a note for the people still thinking that they're the exception: "Sucking at something is the first step towards becoming sorta good at it"

How are you not hearted

@@cianward7642 ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ …I dunno, It’s cool.

@@Yezi996Yes Meh, it’s an old video. Probably doesn’t have notifications on for it or something. I’m okay with it. Maybe he doesn’t agree with my take too? Who knows… A heart react is just some binary code anyways. I just hope he received the message and I am just happy to support him.

They’re definitely kept on purpose! I always make sure to keep it just glitchy enough!

Same here, I really like it too because it just really fits with the old vhs type of animation style with weird glitches as the tape corrodes and ages.

@@Joel-Haver The glitches and the VHS feeling are some of the things that make your videos great, good job!

@@Joel-Haver Is it possible to use this on a live facecam given the right circumstances? I always wanted to try Vtubing but making the avatar look stupid and unrefined unlike the 3d anime models everyone uses. Love the vids btw.

@@Joel-Haver I think u know that u have something really special here going on man. I’m sick of posers and fame-chasers on these platforms, ur doing this through genuine soul and effort. U will go far 😁

Fuck yeah, bring it on.

I haven't gotten into animation yet, but if I do I'll definitely have to look into rotoscoping.

@@baconknightproductions8297 the best thing i can think of for the long way is the incredible bonus features on richard linklaters movie "walking life". the movie itself is awesome so maybe watch it first and then to see some truly amazing stuff with it watch "a scanner darkly". its keanu reeves, woody harrelson, robert downey jr and wynona ryder. so yeah... again, the movie itself is just next level. its richard linklater again and it has some great special features but im 99% sure it was invented by the richard and the waking life crew. theyre both great anyway. and with a scanner darkly sometimes i lose the fact its animated. its really neat what they do.

ikr, im ready

how else will he be able to trace and draw the burning flames without doing so, huh?

Serious response to a joke comment: he probably used stock video that was spliced together in Premier before the initial export. In case anyone is actually curious how it was done.

The birth of Joel Haver Genre

So true

You opening more pokeyman cards?

Now you have to do a video with the Joel Haver method!

this is why I prefer Rotoscoping. The only limitation is how much work you’re willing to put into the product. Whereas with CGI and Mocap you absolutely are limited by the computers abilities.

exactly

Yeah, it's just enough that you can tell it's not meant to be happening, but not so much that it's over the top and annoying. There's a lot of things like that in art.

It sounds stupid but its the appeal and absolutely true

Animators supporting animators. Awesome. :)

Glad to see you here! :)

Possibly beyond!

It's fantastic because he does the tutorial on the video he's discussing the tutorial in. Even in what should be simple information videos, Joel still blows us away!

Yes

I like how he went the extra mile to keep his style of humor by including some more elaborate changes in his presentation.

I just found your hot wheel videos earlier today

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MWaqa44GiGs.html

That's a great quote

He's so right. Lights are a cheat code for the night/darkness. Technology!

Well, akchually technology is more like a pharmakon, but I still agree with Joel. Thank you Joel (i love you)(like fo real bro)(don't call me though)

Incredible indeed, Berd. Incredible indeed

It's not. He just uses ebsynth. And drawing over real world footage has been around since the start of disney

Gotta take into account that the tool don't matter if you don't know how to use them. If anything it will enrich the community and help drive the art form forward enough to make the tools more effective and whatnot.

This is how good art can be when it's not done for capital.

Humble af indeed. This guy is awesome

The man just birthed his own genre

omg wtf is wrong with your profile picture

also this video have a 10% like to view ratio which is pretty high considering the normal being 1 to 3%. according to my observation

Might be a little early to make a claim like that, Joel has 11 more months to spread his wisdom.

ALSO it allows talented artists to make MORE art because it takes them less time to complete each project. Their time is spent on artistic decisions rather than labour.

And that mouse's name is Marshall

I've drawn and sometimes animated digitally with a mouse my entire life and only as I got older did I realize that everyone thinks that's weird. If that's all you use you get used to it, it can be as easy as drawing by hand, sometimes to me it feels easier. But of course you can never get as much detail as you could if you were using like a tablet or something, like I don't know if there's a pressure sensitive drawing mouse or something... Actually I'm gonna look that up.

Well he can't do it with Marshall the Rat because he's a criminal.

@@Squishito A pressure sensitive mouse sounds like something that should exist but I'm not sure it does. Drawing with a mouse hurts my brain because I'm left handed for writing/drawing, but right handed for mousing. So drawing with a mouse feels like I'm using the wrong hand to draw, even though it feels way worse to mouse draw with my left.

Is the Mouses name Marshal ?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Totally agree with this!

What a wonderfully ordinary comment

thank you james lee, very cool 😎

now its your turn James.

Huzzah!

@@naorovadia1161 James doesn't animate anything. He's just built different

Michael, from the office!

Definitely makes me appreciate the sketches more

For me, it is simultaneously more and less involved than I imagined.

I thought the opposite.

Hi Xycron

@Carlos Garcia He said it himself, "AI assisted rotoscoping". For a sketch maker this is already quite enough effort of an as it is

This reminds me of that "but DJs aren't real musicians, they're technicians at best" bs

Some people seriously think that music should be free since "it is a hobby, not a job" but do they seriously think many people would want to make music then, let alone have the financial capacity to?

@ He's talking about making creativity tools accessible to *creators* and the fact that everyone can be creative. It's the *consumers'* responsibility to compensate the creators of art and music they enjoy.

@ Some people do think that. And they are absolutely asshats. But more in line with Joels theorem for art. Doesn't music exist to be heard? And if you are someone who dreams of creating music, in some form, by some method. Then shouldn't the barrier to entry be as low as we can make it? The argument is hardly that art should be devalued to the point it should be free, but more that the world should be a place full of art. And if you are someone who wants to create art (for profit, or pleasure, or acclaim, etc) then you should be able to do so.

Yep, I like how he just shares his technique with everyone

Bit of a shame that we still have some self-appointed gatekeepers hassling creators like Goat-on-a-stick for "ripping off" Joel's style despite this. :/ Weird how people latch on to a new thing and then try to jealously guard it from everyone else.

And now the whole style is named after him. The joel haver animation style

@@sixstringedthing Hmm, checked out goat on a stick. Was a bit surprised that it wasn't just the style but the content too. NPC perspective and all that. Gotta say, if I was gonna use the style myself (and I'm all for that - it opens up whole new worlds to people) I don't think I'd also copy the ideas. But hey, I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Not always a good thing though.

So are you rimmy.

Good day mates

Dare you to Ebsynth animate an ARMA op. You won't. (Don't though, that's comedic only because it'd kill you. Don't die.)

1 Hour too late to post anything :(

RIMMY IS HERE TOO? First LifeOfBoris, NOW RIMMMY

Hell yes. This is peak cinema, to be exact. There is absolutely that does it like Joel does. How incredible is it that we're all alive to witness such a master of the art!

Oh?

It's a gamble. You either have your own style and make money from it. Or someone steals your aesthetics and makes something better than you. Obviously, it's hard to make something better than this dude's trilogy. But I'm speaking general terms. Why secret cooking recipes exist.

In this case I feel like it's safe from being stolen willy nilly cause it takes so much time and effort.

Joel's goal is to encourage people to just create, and make stuff, so he's not worried about revealing "secrets"

True and it could just further boost him cuz he’s the OG and word will get around

That's why Joel is king. He's just too humble, lovable, and hilarious.

Thank the guys/gals at Ebsynth, Haha! they probably worked their ass off to make this type of program to work!

@@snazzle9764 Bang on!

saw a comment saying the cool kids call this Havermation

@@Schyferyel Love it :D

Well, it's called rotoscoping. It's neat and it's cool he's kind of revived it, but it has a history that reaches back. One of my favorite uses of it was in Adult Swim's *Dream Corp LLC*

-da Joel

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MWaqa44GiGs.html

When he showed that he highlighted the still frame I really thought that he was going to do that for every single frame. Which is what does happen. Just the program does it for him. I think that encapsulates the point he was talking about because fuuuuuuuck doing that lol

100%

@@ohnoitsu1 I mean, folks used to do that (although to be fair, they had teams of animators to do it). It was called rotoscoping. The really funny thing is, one of the big uses was as a cost-savings measure to get decent animation for really complicated motion. Apparently it saved so much time (and therefore production costs) in animation for complicated stuff that the savings outweighed the cost of hiring some no-name actors and filming them dancing or fighting or whatever. It also was used sometimes for stylistic effect, like the music video for "Take on Me".

@@Maddbox11235 Good to know. Cheers

So much wisdom at such a young age. Joel is the hero we need but don't deserve.

This should replace every "inspirational" quote about art

Joel really is what RU-vid needs more of, I applaud his hard work and dedication to fun. Also his voice is just amazing!

A man of the people!

@@formerstrangers1939 Right? His voice is just soothing. No homo, but it makes my heart happy every time I hear it.

more like he uses the AI to move his selfmade drawings.

It’s a combination of both!

with a mouse, no less

Mark Pokhil: He's doing it manually He: does maybe 2% of the work manually

Honestly, if he were to draw more frames, it'd basically be like using tweening in flash. But probably better since EB is tailored for that purpose alone.

tony lazzuto

They kinda did that in the animated lord of the Rings movie, those Videos feeled pretty similar animation wise, its a cool style

@@superbdolphin4700 That"s what I thought as well

Yo SINF bro ur video are cool please notice me senpai

It's called rotoscoping I think. Pretty cool.

Not everyone can be a great artist but an artist can come from anywhere.

You: giving money to ethots

"Havermation" as I've seen in other comments.

But it's basically just rotoscoping. Let's just call it what it is eh.

@@LukeSparrow221 "The Joel Haver style of animation consists of a rotoscoped work employing slow burn comedy and situational awkwardness resulting from its semi improvisational format." -my drunk ass academia self

should add the vhs effect to that

@@LukeSparrow221 mad?

He just changed my entire perspective on digital art. Even though I tried not to, until now I think I somewhat looked down on digital drawings in particular, simply because the artists don't have to deal with a lot of the hassel involved in physical drawing or painting. Like being able to alter colors with one click or applying an effect instead of having to redo the whole thing if you want to change something. But actually, I've always believed that there are way more important aspects to art than the technical skills, and also that it's a shame how many people can't express themselves creatively because they lack any such technical skills. Now we finally have new forms of art that make that hurdle much easier to overcome. We are getting closer to the point where everyone can put art out there without having to spend years practicing, and that's a good thing. Creative vision and inspiration and things like that are becoming more important than technical ability, and imo that's how it should be.

So much wisdom at such a young age. Joel is the hero we need but don't deserve.

Although I totally agree, it still has some insignificant negative impact on his work. Take some of the secret fastfood recipes. People would be able to copy and recreate them, which in itself doesn't really have any impact on the flavour of these secret recipes, in fact, it's the opposite. Giving people the opportunity to improve, upgrade, alter art styles through inspiration such as this channel, will make the "flavour" significantly better as we will be getting more "recipes" of such type, where some may be potentially far more "tasty". But, the insignificant negative impact is that it as a result makes his work less unique. Now, in my opinion, I like when the stuff I watch is unique. I enjoy a wide disparity between the kinds of content that gets recommended to me. Unfortunately, this is difficult to do when so many people spam the same things. I made the mistake with reddit-reading videos. I fixed my recommended now, but for a few weeks it was pretty annoying. The risk of poor-quality content becomes greater the more people try it, which as a result makes it harder to find the best of the best creators out there. edit: I totally support what he did, but this is rather my individualistic preference. I get that some people may like seeing more content like his, but I personally prefer my content "concentrated" rather than "watered-down".

@@TechSupportDave I agree. However, you miss the point in what will *ALWAYS* make Joel's animations superior to anything that may come out similar to it: him, Joel. He has such a unique way in how he carries himself and talks that can never be imitated or copied. I watch his animations not just for the cool style of the animations, but for the characters he creates.

@@TechSupportDave you like your content not watered down and concentrated so that a variety of single creator's have different styles. But by doing that your missing out ALOT of fun shit people make that is similar dude. The only insignificant impact that has happened is that you limit yourself to feeding through a straw While as everyone else has their helpings by the spoon full. Because You won't broaden out what you watch. You've restricted yourself into a corner. Joel on the other hand is the opposite. By revealing his secrets he's shown that he's not afraid of what other people make. He's strongly confident that his content alone is more then just an arstyle. By sharing his secrets he improves and encourages other RU-vidrs to be creative and to give them the spark so that their content might be able to be "concentrated" Aswell It sure as shit is better then hoarding his techniques so no one learns how to improve

@@pingaspearce9403 [TL;DR at the bottom] I disagree with this one part. I do not watch youtube enough to feel the necessity to NOT feed myself through a straw (Though I wouldn't call it that). Therefore, I prefer to watch only the things that I love the most. My youtube experience would become significantly worse if I were to suddenly start watching everything that gets recommended to me. For one, it would mess up my recommended as I previously mentioned. Two, I'd be wasting a lot of time on content that I do not enjoy, or do not enjoy as much. This is something that I did when I was younger. I did not enjoy the amount of videos I'd abandon half-way. It was not only unhealthy watching things I don't enjoy, but it was also unhealthy how much time I actually spent on youtube. Just to clarify, it's not that i'm not broadening my horizons. I have simply stopped letting myself get clickbaited. This means, 99% of the time I stay watching content that I enjoy the most. That 1% being that risk of wasted time. That's a balance that I'm fine with, as it means that for every 100 videos watched, there's one video that I watch that I don't know I'll like. And, that 1 video IS usually a video that I'll like. Why? Because it's usually a video that truly grabs my interest and perfectly appeals to my preferences. In fact, these proportions are perfect in my case, because there's also a 1% chance that I'll stop watching a type of content or creator. So the things I watch are perpetually changing. I probably wouldn't even call it a "Straw", but rather just a methodical approach that completely satisfies me. There will always be amazing content creators that I won't know about. Why would I bother going out of my way to find them all when it's impossible in the first place? Why would I even want more if I'm already watching content that I wholly enjoy? I quite frankly don't see the point if I don't have the capacity to regularly watch them all in the first place. This isn't pokemon. Maybe to you it is if you spend your entire days on youtube, but other people are often different. I can't spend my days searching through youtube for new things, and I don't know why I'd want to if I'm enjoying watching the things i'm enjoying. TL;DR: I'm not feeding myself through a straw and who are you to tell me how I should use youtube? I'm already watching content that's as enjoyable as it can get for me, if you have a problem with that then you're simply an asshole. --------------------------------------------------------------- Won't be bothering to reply any further as I'm anticipating people to purposefully misunderstand me, as you already partially did but there's no point pointing it out now.

I'd agree

Not last year?

The best thing about being early is cashing in on all those sweet, sweet likes.

well 22 days aint that long...

Umm, it's only been 22 days

For real, I thought he just shot a scene and had a program do the rest, but he actually does have to model it for each shot. Love this dude and his humor.

@@majorpwner241 His style & humor are top tier.

I disagree. What he did was very selfless and kind, but I believe if someone discovers, practices and hones their own art style, they shouldn't feel obligated to reveal to the world exactly how to replicate it. A style is what makes an artist unique, so I can completely understand those who are opposed to sharing their process.

@@sloppyphart7879 I agree with what youre saying but I think that they just said “be more like Joel haver” for the sake of quoting a meme

Joel haver? More like Joel giver

@@niedzisiaj6645 this is a special and specific style of rotoscoping animation that Joel discovered. That's what I'm saying.

@@sloppyphart7879 There's more to uniqueness than just style. Joel has built a whole world of characters at this point that are specifically his.

No way the mandem nem is here

Well said!

hereeee we go

I was actually wondering how he made these videos for weeks. It's a nice and simple way to make animations. Always wanted to make one, but I don't have much skill so this is great.
