KLAUS | Lighting Time-Lapse Jesper 

I heard it took two years for the entire movie and the story is great!

@@Dregoon_Enderman actually it started in 2010 and they released a proof a concept on 2015 which got them a contract with Netflix

One frame u mean

@@dylanloo9856 no it is actually one shot a frame would be just one drawing but this has multiple frames

@@essye_bee Yea that's what u mean. They still have to adjust the lighting for every frame

Totally! Amazing 👏

MageBurger yet your art is still garbage. Maybe try using all the tools in your arsenal my guy lmaoaoaoao

If you figure the tech out I’d recommend selling it online before the actual studio or creators of this rig do it themselves. Although I’m sure some software engineers are already working on it. Play it smart if it’s not too late already.

Share it with if you ever do it, because I'm coming back to this and few others videos every few months to check if they're selling the software. I want this for personal use, it looks so satisfying to use.

@@BenJi2DxD Gee calm down man it's Advanced Shape Layer Techniques with a general blured render pass overlay with texture, you just set that render pass to have a cool color multiply layer bellow and you're halfway there, just then use more gradients on top to create depth and atmosphere. There is also a program called EbSynth that uses AI to copy a painted image in photoshop that you did to other images for that scene. But just the amount of work in general takes a long time for this kind of passion project.

@@PutineluAlin Make a video about it, I'll like, comment and subscribe!

@@BenJi2DxD There are already tons of videos just search Advanced Shape Layer Techniques and After Effects render passes. Plus i get paid to do other stuff don't have time for video commissions.

You will see another like it because they have been working on another for some time called ‘Ember’

@@Kenxstudios That's excellent news

Keyframes and correct the inbetweens

What is the name of software

Did u know what's the name of it ?

@@sondosmostafa___ NO

Unlikely to be free - but I'd be absolutely shocked if they weren't working on some kind of version of the software for a commercial release. The effectiveness and desirability of programs like this are increased as an animation team's size decreases, and with so many indie animators on the internet now, it only makes sense to eventually allow people to purchase it. I'd imagine they're adding many quality of life/user friendliness to the software, as it was highly specialized and experimental for Klaus - it was invented just for *this movie* after all.

oh come on, the only difference between this and all other softwares is the way gradient are controlled. you can replicate that in most softwares.

@@ZouUuu Replicate, yes - make a movie out of it with a reasonable budget while learning the software? Probably not. This is specifically designed to help automate shadows of tweens for 2D animation, of which the inbe*tweens* are particularly limiting for a small team. Just to be clear, the software of Klaus uses AI to create the shadows of inbeteween frames, which is about 60-70% of the work in animation. That is *very* impressive.

@@mattrocde exactly it's all about efficiency. For example anyone can do visual effects in premiere pro. But it's more efficient and quicker to do them in aftereffects with masking and such.

I think it was around 5 or 6 years.

POPTOONS Skaff It was actually around “two years,” according to Insider.com at www.insider.com/how-netflixs-klaus-made-2d-animation-look-3d-2020-1!

Hello, I'm the guy talking in this video and since I've seen this question a couple of times on social media let me answer here: As in live action, lighting is just a tool to support the story. We haven't created this system to say "hey look what we can do" but instead we wanted to use lighting as a vector of emotion and since Sergio wanted to do this movie in 2D it was the only way we found. Plus when you want to do something you shouldn't go for the easy way but instead do what must be done in order to have the result you're looking for. And fun fact the lighting department was one of the fastest in the production :) Hope it answered your question and have a nice day ! Florian.

@@jeremy__hopkins From time to time I would ask them to draw specific lines so it helps the tracking system for the lighting but other than that no, they just need to animate the cloth and then during the clean up step we decide what lines we keep and what lines we don't need.

No! Don't give up just because "it's hard" ! Giving up is only alright if whatever you're trying to pursue is actively unhealthy for you and your environment. But, if you just see this as something that's hard, but you're still open to pursuing being an animator, I say go for it!

Custom. In-house software.

Yes, Klaus this is a 2D movie

Hi, I will copy the answer of this question I did in other comments: Hi I'm the guy talking in this video and since I've seen this question a couple of times on social media let me answer here: As in live action, lighting is just a tool to support the story.

Klaus, it’s a custom made software. So it’s unfortunately not public.
