That "warm to cold" gradient is such a great idea!
If someone asks what a master class looks like in 10min, I'm going to point them to this video. This is extremely useful!
Thanks :)
i am working on my short, animated film and I'm currently at the stage of storyboarding, i can extremely emphasize how helpful and insightful this video is to me. Thanks very much for this
Truly inspirational!
Thank you for sharing the process, Pierrick!
You are a blessing my guy!! Love your content
Amazing breakdown Pierrick! Fascinating to see how organized and methodical you are man. Always a pleasure to see your videos and your channel grow!
Thanks so much mate, it means a lot to read you here every time I drop a video.
Can't wait to see another Livestream with Pierrick and you!
@@franmatt Thanks Fran, we will make it happen at some point for sure. It's always a pleasure to speak with Pierrick
I absolutely loved this cinematic, so fluid and good to watch. Thank you for making such a detailed video like this, breaking down your process. For someone who has little idea on this, having this video as a resource is such a life saver!
Thanks for this! Amazing work, beautiful dynamic. Just great.
It turned out so great! Love seeing the work behind it, super helpful and inspiring!
This is very detailed, thank you for this tutorial.
The 3d storyboard is a really good idea since im not good at drawing, im saving that for the futur .
That was a great breakdown. I was surprised to learn the backgrounds were done after the animation was finished. I also like the thematic colour grading you did, that's a great touch. Good advice about prioritising effects as well. All too often people got lost in details that if they weren't there wouldn't have been missed by anyone, and you can't risk losing the whole shot to take care of that.
Animation looks so clean. Absolutly stunning and perfect!
Amazing animation and your courses are fantastic!
Your skills are amazing! I'm also currently working on something kind of big (animated short) and this is just what I needed to see! After watching this I now see just how important organization is, Thx a ton!
Your videos always give me an extra boost of motivation, and I feel incredibly inspired by your workflow. You have a knack for creating amazing content, and I love it! I've learned so much from your courses. I recently checked out your latest one, and it's truly impressive. Right now, I'm a bit tight on savings lol haha, but as soon as I'm able to accumulate some savings, I'll definitely be purchasing your latest course. Keep up the fantastic work!"
Amazing work and thank you so much for explaining the process. Really helpful!
Incredibly useful! Thanks a lot for sharing!
i love all of this ive been waiting and trying to find something that could describe how to make a movie short or something like it , this is a very good description over everything how its managed linked assets and everything , more detail per step would be awesome. coming from someone who is a developer but in my spare time i love playing and using blender to use animations , like always your videos are amazing
Wonderful breakdown and super insightful content as always, thank you!!
T'es un monstre Bravo ! Et adorable l'anecdote de fin :) Merci pour tout ton taff, que ce soit les tutos ou ces teasers motivants tout est GOLDEN !
Merci :)
T'es genial! inspiring and resourceful as usual. continue doing what you do!
I love these kinds of short films! Really great effort, thank you everyone.
Thanks!
You’re definitely my favorite animator, I learned so much from your courses! 🔥🔥🔥
You deserve all the love you are getting Pier, I can't believe this was all done in 2 month time, when I saw the short movie for first time I literally couldn't believe the quality of animation and everything else. I have bought your Alive course and I have seen your animations but this was just absolutely amazing, Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for your kind words
The short is amazing!
Hello teacher, you are incredible, thank you for creating high-quality educational content, greetings from Argentina
Gracias
This is amazing...a true masterpiece
This is some excellent work sir .
Thanks for all that you have done and shared! Truly a blessing. Glad all of your hard work for this was well received! you really earned it
Awesome work!!!!! and yes, we want to know more bout lightning and compositing!! also personally me want to see some tutorials of stylized animation like arcane and hair like this show has! thanks
Weldone, haven’t met you before but I’m super proud of your progress so far🔥🔥🔥
your work is amazing man.......respect
Keep on keeping on 👍
Great video!!
so cool!
thanks a lot for your tips and pro content
insane talent
amazing work Pierrick as always
Thanks :)
What a great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone. ❤
Thanks mate
You did such excellent work on this short! You and Shotty have done a lot to inspire me over the past couple months!
The bit where Ton says something like "Why can't we do work like this" - Well, I don't want to dis on what Blender Studio does, the design and animation is often immaculate, but I do feel that a lot of the shorts are...over-produced? Feels like too many cooks in the kitchen sometimes. In your case, you were the one with the vision and had others helping in smaller scale ways which probably helped keep the movie more on track.
Good work! Congrats!
Well, the thing with Blender studio is also development. The shorts are made to improve tools and workflow so they would put way more energy into details and high end production. Honestly, I didn't like Charge that much but Wing it and Sprite frite are incredible.
Thx for this excellent breakdown video, it's so interesting to see your workflow.
A video talking about Compositing should be very cool ! And 2D VFX to...
Congratulations for your Teaser man, it's very cool !
Incredible learning experience as always!
Thanks for your support
Brilliant description of how to make a movie..
Absolute gem
I'd love to hear more about the layering, indeed, and also sound design for Blender uses. Where to find, how to integrate, etc.
What do you mean by layering? Regarding the sound design, it's not Blender centric and wan't done in Blender at all. So it's a little out of topic. Sound design is made from the video edit.
thanks for sharing sir ☺☺
this film is incredible, you should be proud. thank you so much for making the breakdown! would love to hear more about how you got your look out of Eevee next :)
Yes, I'd like to do something about EEVEE next... but it was so straight forward.
But, I think I will :)
What a beautiful creation you are Pierrick! You are the best animator in my whole life!! Best of Luck My Respected.
Thanks :)
You made animation of this scope accessible for me. Thank you 🙏🏾 very much
You're welcome :)
This was exactly what I was waiting for! I'm sure I will be watching this at least a million time. Thank you!
Thanks! Can't wait to reach a million view on this one XD... Kidding, but thanks for your support!
Amazing content ! Very interesting and inspiring !! Where did you got those rocks assets though ?
So cool!! My goal is to be as skilled as you are with animation. 🤩
love it
Thank you
Godlike!
Thanks!
Extra work Pierrick!! It will be my pleasure to pay for a course in which we will go through the whole job with you from A to Z! :-)
This short film blew my mind when I saw it, stuff like that is what I wanna make!!
I’ve been trying to make a few short films for a while but I could never actually finish them usually because I didn’t feel confident in my skills and my workflow is awful. Seeing this made me wanna get back into it again
Come on mate, I'm sure you can do it.K you have a great taste when it come to animation and framing. Make something real short, like 30 seconds, and think of everything. And if you have any questions, you know where to find me.
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN thank you so much, ill try my best!
sua arte é muito legal
this was sooo good, ive showed the video to everyone i know xD!! are we guna get an ALIVE course 2? with hand draw FXs and so on?
I'm planning to add more content and update some videos for Alive!
The 2D VFX thing would be another course, maybe later.
Can you please make an tutorial on how you made all those camera animation
You are a fucking Beast!! Enjoy the glory and praise, it's well deserved.
Wow! This is incredible, and so inspiring! Thank you so much for continuing to make content like this! a few quick questions: is there a reason that you chose Adobe animate for the hand drawn elements, and not grease pencil? and Adobe After effects, and not the VSE? was it just a preference? Thank you again!
Regarding After effects, it's a matter of experience, I 've been using it for over aa decade and I think it's slightly faster than VSE.
regarding Animate, .... it's more straight forward for this kind of VFX. GP is great but is has a big downside, you can't easily make negative shapes and this is quite terrible for 2D VFX.
Wow! Very nice! So cool to see a breakdown like this. We don't see it often enough. So do I understand correctly that really all the compositing you do in After Effects was primarily to add contrast, film grain, and a consistent color grade? This is great insight! I always thought there was more to it. Again, not a lot of info out there on this part of the process.
Very very nice! I thought I was already subscribed, but your cute robot animation made me double check. Just thought I'd let you know it works. Lol.
Yes, I use to make a lott of compositing with tone of passes and in the end, you loose all lighting information and it looks like mud.
With time, I lean toward getting the best out of the 3D render and just color grade my shots and add VFX.
Looking at your amazing work, I also want to create something like this! I would like to know where you can go to practice for development in the 3D industry? Experience is needed, but where to get it is not clear (
C'est incroyable et magnifique ! Bravo pour ce travail très inspirant ! (D'autres court métrages sont ils envisageable ???)
Houla, pas de suite :)
C'est crevant à faire
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN Ahah je comprend, avec mon équipe on c'est donné un projet de série d'animation de 6 épisodes d'une trentaine de min chacun et on est pleine pré-prod et c'est ultra énergivore ! En tout cas bravo et continue ce que tu fait !!!
Love to see your eye is good now. (And you are not looking like a terminator 😂😂)
Yeah, it was really superficial, just a scratch.
i love how the stone is a rig bone 😂
This was EEVEE NEXT ???? wow, we need some more info on this, it looks soo good
Texture course soon?👀
Great video thank you! Love seeing organisation flow. Did you do each shot as a separate Blend file please? Then copy/paste rename? Or one blend file?
It's a separate blender file each time.
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN thank you. Do you just copy the file then rename so all assets etc are same please? I used to use all shots in one file but got slow real quick.
@@ukmonk I use linked assets
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN thank you so much!! Yeah I find organising stuff my biggest problem. Getting better though….
Loving the workflow tips! QUESTION about the (3D) storyboarding, you did all the shots (exterior and interior) in one file, then 'save as' the file for each shot?
Yes, exactly. this way I would have a couple of poses and the base camera angle.
Thjen I would link my environment assets.
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN fantastic! great seeing someone else use this workflow. I think I remember something similar to the Previs workflow for their movie "Charge".
You think it would be possible to make your storyboard file available for us to look at and study? I'm sure many people, myself included, have many ideas and instead of drawing the storyboard, could use 3d. We could study what were the main poses you blocked out to get the point of the shot across.
Also, I'm curious, for the Ape jumping down shot, how did you scale it all? I mean, it see you have cubes stacked (array modifier?). How did you know how many to use? Is the Ape actually moving downwards or it is a cheat by moving the cubes upward before it hits the ground?
sorry for all the question 😅
@@Shka_maru Don't worry, I will breakdown this shot.
How did you add the shot and global frame data in After Effects? I cannot figure that out at all.
This guy is the Cristiano Ronaldo of Blender Community I guess, You are awesome.
I had a question on how you time your animations, I follow your advice about first making the key poses first every 5 frames however when I want to start timing the animation I get a problem. When you use the action editor, moving frames around will only affect that specific rig, and if you have multiple rigs in the same scene all with animations , it becomes difficult to keep track of everything. Is there a way you go about this or should I just stop being lazy😅
You can use the dope sheet to edit all your charcters' timing at once
2 months to make a short movie!?!? dear god!
💜
😽
Acting and lipsync animation course pleaseee
Tu parles Français à ce que je vois ! C’est trop bien , j’espère que tu feras un cours complet payant sur ça ! Tu es juste top Perrick
Salut, merci. Je suis Français :)
Un cours sur quoi? Sur la creation d'un court métrage?
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGNoui sur ça , un cours payant sur la création d’un petit film sur Blender, en tt cas j’adore ce que tu fais , je suis content de trouver un créateur si doué français sur Blender 🎉🎉 ! Bn travail
Is it possible to download a lesson so that it can be viewed later.
boss, a question why when I export a model with a skeleton, some bones are exported incorrectly and are pointing in another direction,
I create them in blender and export them to unity
Thanks in advance
I am expecting a video on how a core blender rigger/animator can transition into game dev using unreal of unity while rigging, animating and creating environment in blender..
The process the dos and donts..may be using a sample rig created in blender and animation also in blender
I'm actually working on that and planning a full course about this. But I will very soon come with a pretty insightful series of lesson about Blender to game engine
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN ok...that would be great...
I love you
Hi, do you have a video in which you tell your story? How did you get to where you are now?
I'd say this is the one I'd watch : th-cam.com/video/MPe4VCr-eFc/w-d-xo.html
Please teach me the process
pierrick le goat
Is there any particular reason why did you start with animation and then do the environment around it? Seems counterintuitive
Because you can always cheat with the environment. And what matters is what you see. So once you figured your animation and framing, you know how much will be seen on screen.
The outdoor lab was made early on and I blicked the corridor too, as it was important in the composition. But these were simple volume.
@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN Gotcha yeah that makes perfect sense!
Will you be making this into a course?????
Sir ctrl+shift+v is not working I tried many time to flip my pose but it didn't work if I am creating a armature it's not working but if I am adding the armature form add menu it's working what is the problem i never track it please help me sir it will help me a lot please
Because you probably didn't name your bones properly. You have to identify left and right on your rig.
Thank you sir
give a discount on your course?
Next one will be for black friday.
Oh no, your poor face again.. Feels like you've been doing all the stunts for that clip😉
