Thanks! When I was getting into animation, I actually dipped my toes into 3D animation but ultimately decided 2D is what I'm looking for. And yeah. Nowadays you can push 3D pretty far but in 2D you just draw it however you like. There's pros and cons in both, honestly.
Thanks! This is inspired by the name mentioned in the title: Masanobu Hiraoka. He's a great animator but is more niche. His style makes him unique. I first saw Masanobu Hiraoka's work in an animated MV for a song called 'Darkroom' by Dios. I was instantly enamored. Sometimes it looks grotesque and beautiful (his drawings are much more detailed than mine). But most importantly, the animation was very fluid (animation-wise and concept-wise). And the transition from one imagery to another was seamless that I find myself not knowing exactly what I'm looking at until specific frames where it just clicks. Sometimes it looks fleshy, then gooey, then watery. It's just mind-boggling. I was inspired to learn from his works. But I don't try to emulate it 1:1 when I study animators. It would honestly be crazy to try and emulate his work specifically. Instead, I take note of the things he does, and imagine what sort of creative decisions he made when thinking of these transitions. My drawings are nowhere near as good and neither is the fluidity. But I feel like I've at least learned something new. Here's a good sampler for his works: th-cam.com/video/krk5EgesUw0/w-d-xo.html
@@SenseofNoneYT I think your work is very good. TBH, I like your style more and the music fits so well. I feel I want to watch an anime or a long version of this work. Like a crazy anime intro. Thanks a lot for the details. Your video was recommended to me while watching this video th-cam.com/video/UKrA8hv8dvE/w-d-xo.html I want to learn more about this style of transitions. I am planning a Blender or 3D animation and see what I can come up with. The camera movement is what makes it inspiring and gives the wow effect. I like the creative transitions and was trying to learn more about dynamic / liquid transitions.
@@zachariehye26 A lot of observing the professionals. Masanobu Hiraoka for this one especially. Edit: The soundtrack is original, yes. But a pretty old one actually. I'm talking like 8-10 years old or something
Here's to a productive year!

Man, that's a high praise. I really appreciate the comments! 😁
@@SenseofNoneYT You Deserve It! :D
It's really smooth, I like it. 😁
Thanks! I appreciate you checking it out even though it's just a random animated nonsense. 😅
I was watching this and thought 'wow.. that's really fluid' .... and then I saw the title
Well I guess that means I accomplished my goal 😂
Incredible transitions!
I love 3D animation, but stuf like this is borderline impossible there...

Great !!!
This is insane. I was looking for something like this.
Can you share more about this art style and learning sources?
