I have no exact words on how impressed on the littlest details from the animators. Along with the clear easy yet in-depth analysis from you of every tic from just a tiny interval from the film.
this kind of thing is exactly what i was looking for when i searched for the jerrys - i was just wondering how the heck all this animation even worked! the way these characters look so 2d and yet so alive in a 3d environment was brilliant and showcases just how skilled the people who worked on this movie are. i also am a geek about animation so this just scratches such an itch for my geek brain - this is the kind of content that rocks my socks edit: THANK GOODNESS im not the only one who freaked out about the technical stuff for how they made these designs work - the loopy and abstract designs really looked like a pain in the butt to animate, and the way they even made them move the way they did is just so cool and different... ugh yeah im hoping for some making of stuff about the animation in this movie, theres just so much to talk about!
I think the Jerries / Terries are traditional animation traced to beziers frame by frame, no need to have all the vertexes ready. Managing the feel of continuity and persistence of dimensions is something Disney animators did manually since forever, they are really good!
and I thought wrong! Here you are the explanation of how they did it from the Pixar animators themselves: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QbhsMLD9Hb0.html
Were the Jerrys animated with some combination of 2D and 3D animation, you think? I figured they must've been added on top of the 3D animation afterward, but at 7:51 the ends of the curves seem to very much be 3D particles. Not to mention the fact that reflections in the 3D environment seem to properly react to the Jerrys, but that could have also been added in compositing
Commenting for the algorithm But also I looove seeing animation teachers/experts/animators in general talk about the craft in technical terms and how animation is executed. Really awesome stuff!
