Love, Death + Robots | Inside the Animation: Jibaro | Netflix 

i totally agree. is one of a kind. everything was just perfect imo. so expressive. so unique.

"The Witness" from season 1 was also made by the same studio and same director. It was equally trippy 😅

yes, I fully admit. and discovering, that it was all animation is even more admiring to the creator. I can easily say, that it was the best episode of all the series so far, absolutely original and one of those things that u experience once for the first time in your life

RIGHT! It made me feel so many things. jUST WOW.

This series was fine by me, just ok. I always was more interested in watching than my wife, she would be half looking at her phone whilst watching. Then we watched this last episode and we where just glued to the screen. It stood head and shoulders about the other stories. What a strange and violent take on the Siren mythology. Loved it.

I mean.... yes, but.... yes!

Or a series

He's currently making one for Stampede.

This is the most visually stunning filmography I've ever seen

@@deepfriedbrainforlunch 📷 📷 📷

likewise! I really tought it was maybe real actors with some post processing filters applied or similar, or with just a little bit of CGI, but not the *ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING* . Mind blowing!

It’s pretty clearly animated lol, you haven’t watched many animations clearly.

@@blothsear7289 Well, that hurt my feelings a little. 🥲 You’re right though! Lol! 😅 Most animations I watch are Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks Etc. etc. All very cartoonish looking. I’m not one to really keep a look out for ones that are pushing for realism. Do you have recommendations? 😊

@@blothsear7289 always that one

uncanny valley, they probably had to tone it back to avoid it.

Definitely is

Nope

@@davidarmand8036 Yep

Not even one single word said and yet delivered so many messages

Amazing

A TV/Movie would ruin it

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Название фильма можно?

That would be extremely expensive

He should do full feature length animation.

Yes you guys did thank you.... It was mine blowing THE best episode in this series.

Your performance was amazing 😻

Absolitely loved your performance! Keep it up!!

You guys truly embodied something marvelous! Brings me to tears if Im honest as a striving gaming dev

Congrats man

Agree!

Netflix have some of the most interesting works of western animation and they have the gal to say freaking “Boss Baby” is their standard in the animation department when LD&R, Arcane or Castlevania exist.

Today's film priority is agenda > well written story.

Didn't u watch The Witness? It's also in LDR

1:19 this man needs a raise.

the funniest thing is that everyone keeps talking about this "Spider-Man: into the spider-verse" style, but no one talks about Mielgo, I know he had a level of involvement, but it's like talking about Jurassic Park without mentioning Spielberg, since the spider-verse Mielgo has evolved a lot and you can see this in The Witness, Watch Dogs: Legion - Tipping Point and Jibaro, my point is I want it to become more about Mielgo and less about the Spider-Man style and that he gets the recognition he deserves

Exactly! Perfectly said.

Also weird...and I love that

Dude 100%

Agreed. My brain was having trouble figuring out whether it was using live action footage with filters + effects or it was purely animated. It's really impressive how it bridges the gap between photo realism and stylized animation.

@@kristianjensen5877 I really hope the team lands a new project, I need more from them

Those are popular as well though. Can't make content without money. /shrug.

tall girl >>>>>

You mean experimental stuff? Yeah I agree

No problem with both existing. Everything has its rightful place. Tall Girl, which I've never seen btw, is as deserving of its audience as LDR. We don't need to tear things down to build others up.

@@TroubleOnTheWaters While it is true that it has its niche audience, as you’ve stated you haven’t seen it, I haven’t as well. It caters to a minority which isn’t really profitable for Netflix, hence why the company is decline. That was the main point of my argument I don’t disagree that tall girl has its audience

‼️I completely agree! If they receive no awards for this animation then we know for sure the system is rigged. Because this is just mind blowing I had no idea this was animation when I first watched it. I thought they had thrown in a live short it's just so beautiful. Absolutely mesmerizing! The only issue I have, and I know this is just a me problem, but I really hate how they made her eyes look so red and bloodshot. I think that really takes away from her beauty and makes her look like a homeless dr*g ad**ict or something. It bugs the crap out of me but everything else is just so absolutely stunningly beautiful that this is just a small minor issue. I just feel like she would have been so much more beautiful without bloodshot eyes.

It won a Primetime Emmy Award (2022). Well deserved.

The characters really stay with you. Excellent art.

@@coffeeseven seriously 😌💕

If you want to watch male JIBARO and same kind of concept like JIBARO in music video please check out *gasoline* song 🎵

That's exactly how I felt.

The way the scenes at night the lighting changes like shot with night vision or something.....lol I can't get my thoughts out correctly hopefully u get what I mean

i would love that .. but i think that is almost like giving someone the code to your website or a look at your design concept. You open yourself up for copycats

in terms of the storyboard, a lot of them are adaptation of books and stories already.

@@damonsavage409 That isn't actually how storyboarding works! It's not for plot beats, necessarily (it can be, though! I mean Mad Max Fury Road was more or less written based on what they boarded up, which makes sense given how little dialogue/script to go off), but moreso how things are going to be executed visually beat-by-beat. It's more of a visual guide for the animators to know what they're specifically animation, folks doing camera work to know where to place the shots, etc. Basically the (usual) pipeline is rough writing draft > concept art > storyboarding > modelling & layout > animation (and then other things, and some of these things are happening simultaneously, this is MEGA generalised and simplified) (sorry if I sound like a smartass or something!! :'0 I'm just studying for my Masters in Animation at the moment and one of the specific things I'm looking at is stpryboarding and I like talking about it :'D )

Agree, I would manage to get the time to watch hours, for sure

I know right! I love the process just as much, if not more than the final piece 😀 because sooooo much work went into it.

Could you explain the story? I saw it but didn't get the underlying concept. I mean what is the theme behind this episode

@@MageswaranD Well, the maker of the story said the woman represents a sort of toxic lover, that is very seductive but has red flags all over her. Both destroy each other in their love. I didn't know this before I watched it though and I had a different interpretation of it. It's very symbolic and kind of open ended in how you interpret it I think.

@@MageswaranD art doesn’t ever have one single explanation. The idea is to watch it and develop your own ideas and thoughts. See yourself in it.

I needed to process it afterwards myself

@@MageswaranD Its the classic Siren story line but with a twist, where the Siren falls for the soldier due to his ability not to be compelled by her.

Yess absolutely

It makes me think of my girlfriend who was abused, and all other people who have been; the self-shame, betrayal and anguish the siren displays after having her beauty stolen and tarnished, it makes me cry like no other thing I've ever seen.

Amen to that!

@@Nephyrrus according to visuals yes, but the storytelling is a huge letdown, besides Jibaro which has been the only interesting episode from season 3 imo.

@@maltsday Dafuq u talking about!? The Fincher one was my fav and was a very cool little story.

@@maltsday shit opinion

You gotta watch Arcane too then

The worst… but okay

@@samueldavis5895 maybe you have to try a little harder to connect to the story, to understand what it means, to feel it

@@1gorSouz4 It's one of my least favorite too. I appreciate the animation but that's it. There isn't a particularly deep meaning to it compared to the other episodes or anything, everybody is a monster and everybody dies. edit: It's essentially the opposite of Mason's Rats. Instead of a hate of the unknown that evolves into friendship and a symbiotic relationship you have a hate of the unknown that devolves into senseless violence, greed and death.

@@EldeNice nah its pretty much abstract and subjective, you can put your own thoughts or interpretation about it and it will still make sense. It doesnt require you to understand the whole thing and figure out the real meaning and that's what make this story special is that you dont have to worry about understanding it, just watch it. It doesnt feed your thoughts you feed it with your own perception. You guys are expecting LD+R to be like grimm's fairy tales that every shit should make sense. But it doesnt because it doesnt have to.

@@1gorSouz4 It's still not stylized at all, just well choreographed. Photo realism isn't a style it's just realism

Well, it is an animation though. Calling it what it is is not injustice unless you categorise all animations as inherently negative or watered-down entertainment which 'Jibaro' shows is not the case.

Literally.. Why do people have such a negative view of animation ​@@ephe8949

I was so confused, too... I switched my opinion on this several times during the episode, absolutely mind blowing.

Yeah me too

At first I thought it was live action, and then i thought it was live setting, motion capture with the bodies and animation on the face. I never thought it was all animation.

This short shows the importance of reference. Fooled you, me and everyone else a bit

Yeah, I had to keep questioning whether it was partially live action or not. We're really getting to the point of crossing the uncanny valley.

anyone who says she deservers to win is a whiny little nosh.

I was slightly freaked out having watched it on a killer rig with a decent sound system. My brain was struggling to process that it was an animation. Between the sound and the way everyone moved, my goodness.

Mielgo is on another level.

@@hms3412 last season, last episode, I believe

I've watched it half a dozen times and still get goosebumps. It's the most amazing film I've ever seen. I'm over half a century old.

I thought this was mostly real with just some effects to make it look cgi. no idea it was animated until now!

I second this.. I'm just blown away

Yeah literally

Don't forget the sound

@@sebastianortizbioh1516 Yes, that was excellent as well. Really helped to bring the animation to life.

Exactly, the audio as a whole in this work is visceral, so rich. I liked very much the entombed episode audio experience as well, obviously for other set of reasons. All in all, a fantastic season.

You can say that again. A masterpiece!

when the girl spoons the soldier in his sleep it looked way too good to be an animation, also the forest was so detailed I'm sure it was just a video with some filters extra vfxs

No it isn't

Agreed. Overall the third season felt kinda lackluster but this episode was a major standout, not just in that batch of episodes but in the entire show.

You took the words out of my mouth! I absolutely agree with you!

S1 E1

Yep, I just finished this episode and the entire series in about 3 weeks. This was my top episode. Probably Aquila second, Witness third.

So what exactly is the brutal part of your honesty?

zima blue still my fav by far

I see you're a person seeking depths in what you watch. Try Westworld (HBO series). If you can make it to the end of season 2, you'll know why I recommended it. But you must watch all the episodes in order. No cheating, or it won't cut deep enough.

@@ZONEDINN528 i will check it out! Thank you for the recommendation:)

@@ZONEDINN528 yeah season 1 and 2 is pretty good but imo season 3 is not in par with previous seasons and still I'm waiting to see what direction the story will take in season 4

@@roopsoops202 Exactly my thoughts, respectively for every season you mentioned. haha I'm waiting out of pure curiosity. That said, even if they screw it up like GoT, I'd still hold it in my top fav... why? Because of how masterfully they build it up to S02E08... stole my heart!

@@ZONEDINN528 haha, I don't think no matter what they won't screw it up like GOT

My point exactly. I couldn t believe this was an animatiom until I saw their video.

@@dragoda lol yeah, same here. First time I saw it I thought it was a real human

@@zaivero not necessary the faces but the away they moved and the dance moves, the choreography. I know about unreal engine 5 but this is ridiculous.

@@dragoda exactly, the way this animation move is so unreal. Even the detail on Jibaro’s clothes, that’s awesome

For real though! I thought it was all live action and real! The animation was way too real!

Mine was "the very pulse of the machine" I looked forward the most to jibaro and it DID NOT disappoint! But upon watching the whole series this one took the cake for me. Such a beautiful, open minded episode which you lose yourself in

@@hms3412 s3 epi9

Best animated short film ever for me

Zima Blue enters chat

@@joshuafoster8726yeah same dude very pulse of the machine was really well made and portrait

I think it's one of the better ones, but I also feel it received way too much attention at expense of other good animations from season 3. To put it simple, Jibaro is good but not as good as masses made it to be.

@@blacklight4720 tell me u try to be different without telling me

It sucked

@@lunari6301 tell me you want to be different n rip into someone without telling me❤️(ps it what ur doing!). "wannabe" or "different" can people literally have statements? I'm pretty sure they just wanted to share their opinion and talk about it but nah let's not have open discussion✌️✌️

@@vozera723 had a stroke reading ur comment

It was nominated now for an Emmy! The creator also won last year for "The Witness"

Bad travel is the best by far. Also aquila rift.

I think you can compare Jibaro to The Witness only, which I think is equally awesome.

I’m sorry but the witness outclasses this by a long shot.

for me, it feels more political and geographical, like conquering countries pillaging and destroying another country's natural resources and leave it dry when there's nothing left to get.

@@Lionspel I had the same impression. It being called Jibaro and all I immediately connected it to the Spanish Inquisition invasion in Puerto Rico

​@@yeehawboy1410 in all Latin America, honestly.

@@admugo you right, I was just saying the episode probably took place in puerto rico

@@admugo jibaro is a word still used in Puerto Rico.

I consume quite a lot of animation and cinematography content, I was almost certain that the sets were live action with animated characters. Boy was I wrong! Such a strong testament to the creativity and talent of this team. Excited to see where animation can go in the future.

And Arcane was pretty much inspired by Alberto Miego. He gave the look and feel of Spiderverse and that is where it all started, then The witness and now this. Amazing director.

Stuff like jewels and water isn't animated, it's simulation. It would be a nightmare otherwise

True. Definitely in my top 5 episodes.

This is what art should be. Beautiful, terrible, unsettling, compelling, alienating, thoughtful, fascinating. Jibaro was a masterpiece IMO.

There was a few I felt meh about. But agreed that this is their best season so far, IMO

Not quite.

Which episode
