The Dance That Changed Animation Forever
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- In the year 1991, the Walt Disney Animation team achieved something that had never been done before. With the completion of the dance in Beauty and the Beast, animation history had been made. A fully computer generated background was achieved, rendered with realistic textures, reflections, assets, lights, and shadows. This is the story of how that team accomplished this.
Since that legendary dance, animators across the globe have utilized this process to push the boundaries of what is possible with animation. Every year, more and more studios use the techniques and technology that stemmed from Beauty and the Beast, and it fascinates me every time I see it. Let me know what your favorite use of CGI in animation is in the comments down below!

This was easily the best Attack on Titan video ever made
Thanks Croton! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching! 😁
Why hello there Croton. I Once rickrolled you.
@@Aceman05 Omg it's you! 😂
yeah suddenly it wasnt about animation it was about one show
First half: history of Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast
Second half: *fanboying over attack on titan*
Hahaha, pretty much! 😆 Thanks for watching!
@@DrewMalou my pleasure, it was a great video
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Attack on Titan does have a Beauty and Beast pairing (Mikasa and Eren respectively).
Bahaha, true! 😂
Hard to believe that the almost dance like fighting between characters and monsters can be credited to the first dance with a monster
There are definitely other inspirations, but I think that I lot of the unique moving 3D backgrounds owe a large debt to Beauty and the Beast. I find the mixed media technique fascinating. Thanks for watching!
Haha, that's true! Anime did take a big chunk of inspiration from Disney and the West, and I agree, wish we would return the favor and take some inspiration from them right now!
@John joseph Corona This is why Avatar: The Last Airbender is still good. They got inspiration from the East. The animators were even required to watch Evangelion.
@John joseph Corona even in terms of techniques using, they just completely missed the whole point of animation. Currently it's just CGI shows
@@DrewMalou we will eventually. As anime becomes more popular, kids, teenagers, and young adults will draw inspiration from them and incorporate that style into future works. It also helps that more and more people are becoming tired of the poor story quality coming out of Hollywood, and are starting to look overseas at other styles of media. I’d give it by the end of the decade if not sooner where we will begin to see anime style artwork and animation influencing American made shows and movies.
The AoT animation showcase just gave me goosebumps
Holy cow! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
poly dont tell me you didnt cry
@@DrewMalou if only you waited till season 4
Lololol, trueeeee. Haha, still enjoyed it, but I miss all of the amazing WIT sequences. Excited for S4 Part 2 though!
@@DrewMalou Me too, I really hope they give the animators the time they need to perfect the CGI. The movement in AoT is really what enhanced the emotion the story provided
So, you telling me that Beauty and the Beast paved the way, so that show like AoT can exist....
my respect and appreciation of Beauty and the Beast has reached an all time high
Haha, yup! I know, it's super cool seeing the history of these kinds of shots. Thank you for watching!

I like almost everyone's comments, unless they are excessively rude or mean, lol.
My first thought when watching Aot was
"It's very *yellow* "
LOL. Definitely not wrong about that! Haha. Thanks for watching!
sickly yellow gives that feeling of dread and chaos, yellow doesnt mean danger for nothing. also most of the events happen during the afternoon-sunset, so ya know

Second thought,
"Oh wait there's lots of red too"
Same. And I also noticed that the characters had very thick and defining outlines. It looked really unique. Then the fight scenes submitted AoT S1 as possibly the greatest anime adaptation from a manga of all time.

True, but those suckers get your content flagged for copyright infringement faster than Levi can kill a titan.
Man really just wanted to make an AoT montage but couldn’t figure out how to get people to watch it so he added a video essay before it lmaooo. I like your style and the effort to put sfx etc in the essay!

Haha, yeah, isn't that so crazy?? Such a cool thing to see how far technology has come. Lol
@@UNSCPILOT i remember about that time, the words "sillicon graphics" were whispered with almost religious reverence amongst graphic designers and animators.
This is... the strangest animation essay I have seen. Showing a Disney movie's influence on exclusively anime footage is one thing. Then there's this guy dropping a _three-minute_ AoT compilation. "Well, he must be presenting Titan's awesomeness in a 'show-don't-tell' way, the video will probly conclude afterwards!" I think... "nah, I'm gonna tell y'all as well now" says Drew suddenly
Haha, it is a little unorthodox. I figured I'd let the animation speak for itself. 😂 Thanks for watching!

Clever asf , you can't disagree.
I love how he just shows all the scenes in attack on titan where the humans are winning, And not when they are being ripped apart and eaten like gummy bears.
Lol, Gummy bears is a good way of putting it! 😂 And yeah, it was mostly the moving shots I wanted, haha. Thanks for watching!
He also decided to hide all the moments of people turning into titans (Hence the Sudden cut to next scene when Eren was about to bite his hand Mid air over the wall)
Which im very Grateful for, because that, along with the Death scenes, would've heavily spoiled the show for people watching this who never watched Aot

Haha, yeah! That might have been a little confusing. 😆 Thanks for watching!
@@DrewMalou yes
I know like why???
Fr 😭
Oop
Animator: "So what's our budget?"
Producer: "Yes"
Hahaha, animation budget go brrrrrrr.
Thank you for watching! 😆
The little meme he tossed in was what I was thinking of.....😂
From what I understand, AoT didn't really have that much of a budget. It wasn't a fly-by-night operation, since Wit Studio had startup funding from Production IG, but the AoT Production Committee didn't put much money into the show and had very demanding schedules.
The reason the show looks so good is because of the A-list of talented lead animators who would compete with each other for the most sakuga-filled sequences, and the animation schedule was non-stop crunch for the teams.
You can see the cracks in the seams when you look at the dialogue-heavy scenes - 90% of the dialogue scenes in Seasons 1-3 are static shots of static characters against static backdrops and if you were lucky - _if you were lucky_ - you might get some lip flap.
The money situation improved when the production committee finally realized how popular the show was (they literally thought the live action movies were going to be more popular than the anime) in the fourth season, and brought MAPPA in-house, allowing MAPPA to get returns on investment from blu-ray sales, whereas Wit as an outsourced studio never saw an extra dime from the hard work they put into the show.
@@Vasharan That’s sad, they are amazing for being able to pull off what they did with those limitations, I hope Wit Studio is still pulling out good stuff today
@@Mo-. THE GREAT PRETENDERRRRRERR
On Netflix
Very colorful
The payoff to the AoT buildup was only as good as it was because of how you explained how difficult that type of animation is. Freaking great video.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 😁

Yeah! Like as someone who took animation class one time and I experienced how difficult it is to do. Take that perspective and my appreciation for the art of animation rose to new heights and this video, I mean it made me wanna cry because of how beautiful the AoT animation was, to see how much the art of animation has advanced and grown over the years!
Ik, I recently watched Sully and they did the same thing for this movie. It's an awesome idea
every single time i watch AOT scenes where they use the gear I can literally feel my heart pound against my chest. the smoothness is breathtaking. and now, I feel the same way with Jujutsu Kaisen scenes.
so technically, hella smooth animation=massive amount of serotonin and adrenaline, and perhaps even love iDK-
Haha, great way to put it! And I feel you, AoT really is incredible!

I love Jujutsu Kaisen, and its battle scenes. Especially the one where Itadori and Nobara defeat the cursed womb brothers. But there's something about AoT that takes this style and cranks it way past 100
Beauty and the Beast leading up to Attack on Titan was some beautiful irony.
Haha, yeah, it is a little strange. Thanks for watching, though!

I mean, Attack on Titan does have a "Beauty and Beast" pairing: Mikasa and Eren respectively.
Historia and Ymir are also one, arguably.
i love how the last third of this video just showcased all the best attack on titan animations haha it's such a great and awesome show and I'm so glad to be here watching it unfold.
Also i'm subscribing great video man 👍
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I thought it might be a little long, but I really love AoT, so I just went for it, haha. Thanks for watching, and for the sub!
@@DrewMalou What are your thoughts on the animation in the fourth season of AoT so far?
I miss WIT, but there are still hype moments! But those sequences in season 1-3 were so epic. Haha
Agreed
Attack On Titan's animation is on another level, along with its soundtracks. You'll hear the most well orchestrated masterpieces by Hiroyuki Sawano.
That's so true. That man writes such incredible scores of music!
Yeah the anime is amazing, way better than the manga in my opinion.
I certainly did not like the ending, but still i feel that its a amazing anime despite of it.

@@mananghildiyal2675 true
i love how this went from beauty and the beast to attack on titan. i wasn't expecting you to actually talk about and show aot as much as you did. that montage that you put together got me all emotional. i teared up a little. i always thought the animation for aot was off the charts, but i never stopped to REALLY appreciate HOW AMAZING IT REALLY IS. thanks, and ill definitely be subscribing.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That was definitely my goal, so I'm glad to hear how much it moved you. Thank you for the sub!
Same here, I got so emotional just seeing the animation that made me fall in love with the show, and it brought back some really good memories of being a new fan, totally obsessed with it. Might have to just rewatch the show all over again...
Haha, yeah! Getting all of these awesome comments talking about the show have definitely made me want to rewatch it as well!
@@DrewMalou i’m rewatching it right now and i’m showing my parents and we are about to start season 3 part 2. i can’t wait for them to see EVERYTHING!
Haha, oh wow! I tried to get my parents to watch it, and they didn't care for it, lol. It's awesome that yours are watching it with you! That's so cool.
I love how Beauty and the Beast was all like “how do we make them twist and dance like having a ballroom background”
- Levi be like “Hold my beer you little brats”
Lololol, pretty much! 😆 Such a cool character. Thanks for watching!
Levi doesn’t drink!
LOOOOL.
"Hold my tea!" - Levi
@@janjohn97 bro he drinks but has a tolerance
Levi cannot call someone little
It's a shame so many anime now use garbage low quality CGI that stands out considerably from everything else in the show.
Yeah, there are some unfortunately bad examples, haha. It can definitely become an eyesore! Thanks for watching!
Demon Slayer though eeeeeeeeh? 😁
It's partly because there are more small companies making anime - its become more affordable to make because of CGI, but the downside is that it's usually not the best stuff. Crunchyroll will fund anything these days. On the flipside, we now have Netflix funded anime like Violet Evergarden, which really shows what big-budget anime can look like. It's the most stunning, fluid anime I've seen in terms of lighting, animation, design etc.
Violet Evergarden is one of my favorites!! It's just such a well done show. It's soooo beautiful. And good points about the small studios, that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for watching!
Beastars looks amazing and it's mostly CGI
"If you're still watching this, I appreciate it."
Dude, the 3dmg montage was so good I watched it maybe 30 times so far.
Hahahaha! That's awesome! I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you for letting me know! 😁
In terms of Attack on Titan (and other anime) It's more literally frames=money (per drawing pay) for some studios and time=money for others (salary pay, which is very rare). A scene could have limited animation but still move crazy dynamic and the animator would get paid less than someone who's scene isn't as dynamic but uses more frames. And in terms of budget, I don't think Attack on Titan had anything special compared to other shows budgets, they just had the animators, schedule and episode structure down pat. Anime usually don't get financial special treatment unless it's pokemon or something, they had a budget increase for x&y but that show didn't end up looking like one punch man, it's all about planning, structure and talent.
Great points! The paying by frames is interesting for animation. I know that WIT studio had staffing and other production issues (which lead them to use MAPPA for season 4). And if I recall correctly, I believe the budget for each episode of AOT was around $150k - $250k, which I believe was significantly higher than most shows. But yeah, the "movement=money" definitely would apply to salaried animators, like the Disney team, where certain scenes would just take longer to completely animate. Thanks for watching and for sharing the knowledge!
in conclusion renaissance Disney and WIT are the coolest people ever
Hahaha, pretty much! 😂 Thanks for watching.
@@DrewMalou np your views are great
it was WIT STUDIOS who made all of that animation, MAPPA only made s4
Can't wait for s4 p2 bruh,mappa finally got enough time this time
Yeah, it will definitely be exciting to see what they produce with ample time!

Aot was the first anime that started my entire anime journey and after such a long time of watching other great productions i gradually forgot about it and this vid made me cry because of the fact that i can't believe i forgot my used to be favourite anime and that it was so good
Awww, that's so amazing! Thank you for sharing that with me. It means so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I too love AoT and am glad you remembered your love for it as well! Thanks for watching!

Lol, still haven't played Genshin Impact, but now I know who I'm going to main! 🤣 That's one of the reasons I chose Dual Blades in Monster Hunter World, because you can fly around like Levi! Haha
Likewise, it made me fall in love with anime and manga
It's pretty sad that MAPPA's animation didn't live up to AOT's reputation😢
Never in a million years did I think that Beauty and the Beast and Attack on Titan would be put together. However, this video compliments the similarities so beautifully, so seamlessly, that it couldn't help but bring a tear to my eye. Thanks for this video, as it brought a new appreciation for animation that wasn't there before. Well done my good sir, this is definitely getting a like from me, and I will definitely be subbing.
Heeeey, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the sub, and for the kind words! 😁
It makes me SO HAPPY to hear someone refer to animation as A.R.T.❣️
It takes some artists years just to finish 1 painting which can earn them thousands, depending on their reputation.
Yet animation artists have to do infinitely more in LESS than a year & they get payed PEANUTS!!!
Yes! I have such an appreciation for animators and their art, but you're right, most of them don't get the remuneration they deserve! It is such a tragedy, especially when they make such lasting and amazing works. I suppose the biggest thing we can do is to spread the word about their work and support them as best we can! Thank you for watching!
especially in Japan it's completely tragic how animators are treated
Yeah, it's true. I feel like a lot of animators are mistreated. Pixar is also known for this. It's so sad.

Remember being called weird for liking anime when I was younger. Brings tears to my eyes seeing how younger generation (gen z) (I’m a millennial) own anime and appreciate the art and beauty of it. So proud of how much the community has evolved and grown. Im starting to see more inclusion of all types of people in the community so this is makes me happy
Yeah, it is so cool to see the community grow, I'm with you there. Thanks for watching!
Young millennial or older millennial? I’m 26 and one of the younger millennials. I was sort of teased for it? But not outright mocked for it. But I was a quiet kid. So I only really went full weeb unless I got to know someone. Lol
Everyone's talking about Attack On Titan, so I just want to congratulate you on the choice of music. Fire Emblem Three Houses OST? And it's Apex of the World? Hell yeah
Hahahaha, yesss! So good. I unfortunately have still not played Three Houses, but the OST is just incredible. Its definitely on my list! Thank you for watching!

Don’t forget music from Smash Bros! Not sure what I remember hearing, was it FD or Battlefield? Appreciate the music choice man :)

This video just made me realize how great the animators are and how painstaking their work is but they still tackle with it head on and give us such great animations❤️
Yes! That is very well said. Animation is definitely a labor of love! Thank you for watching!

I feel that this video essay is a masterpiece. I knew Attack on Titan was coming up when he said "there's one show in particular that is truly taking this technique to the next level". Still I got goosebumps and got a little teary eyed too! Made me appreciate AOT all over again! Thank you so much for this video and I'll be cheering you on. 😄
Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! And this is very kind of you to say. Thank you for watching!

everything about snk just hit _right_ and really cements how amazing animation can be as a medium of storytelling. it's one of the reasons why i picked up art in the first place again after so long, and my driving force to continue working hard to get into the animation industry.

JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9) . (Don’t forget to repent of sin. )!!.!.!,,,,
Yeah and their recent work on Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song had me floored
I recently found your channel with the eastern vs western animation video, and I really like these video essays with how they compare/link animation from these two unique cultures. Keep up the good work and congrats on another sub!
Hey, thank you so much for the kind words, and for watching! I'm glad you like the content. I'm working on a big IRL project right now, but will have more videos coming out in April!
I hope to one day be able to help make animation like this
:)
Yes!! Me too. That would be so amazing. I can't draw a lick, lol, but it would be so much fun to be a part of the process. Thanks for watching!
same 😍
god, that AoT montage gave me chills all over. it's going to be a while before we see anything as phenomenal and masterful as this show again. unforgettable.
Haha, I agree! It was such a unique experience. And thanks for sharing, I'm so glad you enjoyed the montage! Thank you for watching!
Idk man. Not saying AOT is bad, far from it, but their are a lot of other good anime and manga that rival it. assassination classroom, one piece and dragon ball.
AOT is amazeing, everything, plot, characters and animation, i just love it. And always when I see Eren, Mikasa, Levi and others "flying" through the city, forest or sth I only can say: WOW, somebody did a really great job.
Yes! I feel exactly the same way. It's just such a phenomenal show. Thank you for watching!
Why does it feel like Japan appreciates 2D animation (I mean, primarily 2D) and its possibilities a lot more? I mean, just look at how much 2D animation has evolved with shows like Attack on Titan vs the adult shows in the U.S. (that still have that flat, Flash-esque animation, etc.).
From an animators point of view, attack on titan is a true masterpiece.
The way the characters move, whither they're just walking, running, talking, catching, carrying or setting things down, or when they're fighting or using their ODM gear, the attention to detail with each and every movement the characters make is absolutely phenomenal.
Yes, I completely agree! It's such a cool show to study. Thank you for watching!
True animator moment
ª
The smash bros music coupled with that Attack on titan reveal literally made me cry, actually beautiful T_T
Haha, thank you! I'm glad I was able to move you. Thanks for watching!
This is so underrated. The AOT segment made me want to get into watching it again
Yeah! 😄 Mission accomplished, then. Haha, thanks for watching!
I didn't know that an Attack on Titan montage pair with fire emblem Three Houses music was all I needed in my life
Hahaha, yes!!! Glad you liked it. As soon as I heard that song, I knew I had to use it for something! 😂 Thanks for watching!
the insane thing about aot is that their budget was apparently only a bit above average than most anime, they just had a lot of time an extremely good team working on it
they wouldn't have spent that much time on it though if the manga didn't do good. Was selling alot during early in it's time now its been declining since people were just less interested.
This has been in my recommended for the longest and I'm glad I took the time to watch. It's awesome to see how animation has developed to the point where AoT's fight sequences are now an integral part of the shows style and genre.
Yeah! Thank you for finally watching! 😄 And you're right, the fight scenes are a huge part of the show now!
I remember seeing the movie Beauty and the Beast when I was a kid.
It was a beautiful movie and the dance scene was not the only thing in the film, but the icing of a well developed cake that had a beautiful story and build up with the two characters.
I think the reason why there was allot of effort and love into the film was most likely due to what was going on at the time in Disney and how Howard Ashman was dying due to Aids and he was such a talented song writer.
So I think there was a strong motivational push to make Beauty and the Beast the film it became to be.
That's a good point. Menken and Ashman were such a good combination for the music of the movie. Definitely should do a video covering the two of them!
U CAN'T expect me to imagine a 1991 dance scene with that Persona music on
Oh, I definitely expect you to! 😆 but seriously, thanks for watching!
Lost count how many times I came back to watch this. Such a great video essay. Truly.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you like it. This video essay is definitely one of my favorite pieces of content that I've ever made. Thank you for the kind words, it means more than you know!
Apex of the World building up to an AoT montage was just *chef’s kiss*
Didn’t realise how well Three Houses music fits with AoT until now.
Haha, yeah, it works surprisingly well! 😂 Thank you for watching!
This one was a doozy to make! I think it is my best one yet, however, so I hope you like it! What is your favorite use of CGI in animation?
Lol. Sounds like we need the power of friendship right about now!
Did you watch s4 ı really want to know what are you thinking for cgi they used
The movie Children of the Sea. They used CGI SO EFFICIENTLY. I'd love to see you review this movie, for all the technicity and care that went into the backgrounds. The opening scene with the girl going around town is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
I did! Thought there were hype moments, but the action scenes were a bit lackluster. I heard MAPPA didn't have much time, though, so I'm excited to see what they produce for S4 Part 2!
I haven't seen it, but I will put it on my list! Thanks for the recommendation!
I can always tell when the animation in AOT was gonna be top tier because the rest of the episode would have characters talking with just 2 frames or have a bunch of pans of simple backgrounds. I learned REAL fast they were saving their frames for something.
Sometimes it would only be a minute of animation that incredible but it was ALWAYS worth it.
Haha, yep! Looks like you caught on to some of the tricks of the trade! 😆 Thank you for watching!
Watch Shirobako (it's an anime about anime production) if you haven't already. I didn't love it as much as many others (it is incredibly highly rated), but it is a solid and enjoyable show even in my opinion, and it gave me a whole perspective on animes after that, and I constantly started realising such things and many more you are talking about during watching animes.
I wanted to like but it was on 69 so I'll leave it like that 😂😂
I will put it on my list! Thanks for the recommendation.
Attack on Titan clips with Apex of the World playing is something I didn’t know I needed
Hahaha, I'm happy that you enjoyed it! Definitely my favorite part of making this video. Thanks for watching!
@@DrewMalou Thank YOU for making the video!
You are most welcome! It was my pleasure. 😁
Without knowing the history of this type of animation, I appreciated the AoT animation in a different way. But after watching this, the AoT montage gave me literal chills. It made me see it in a whole new way. Thank you for this video.
Yeah! Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you are able to understand and appreciate the AoT animation more fully now, that is so awesome to hear. Thank you so much for the kind words, and for sharing, it made me very happy! 😄
I cried multiple times because this is that beautiful.
Thank you! I'm really glad that it moved you so much. Thanks for watching!
I just got this video in my recommended and I’m genuinely surprised a high quality video like this only has less than 5k views (at time of posting this comment). Also I love the fact you used Smash BGM.
Haha, yes!! Love when people pick out the music, lol. And thank you for the kind words! My channel is still pretty small, but I am growing fast! It's a lot of fun, so thanks for being a part of it and watching my content!
AOT is such a goated show just finished watching all the episodes. Can't wait for the final part of the final season. Nothing about that show misses its too good.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
for me atot is ok, not too interesting, i enjoyed watching/reading jojos waaay more,but u respect your opinion

@@believeonjesus7215 I’m gay, see you in hell😍🥴
The chopin ballad duet in your lie in april is the best example of animation tying in with the music. Every key played in the piano is accurate, the violin sequences are marvelous. As a classical musician myself I couldn't thank the animators in that series enough. I cried so much in that anime
Yes!! It's so good. They definitely did their due diligence and respected both the instruments and musicians. Have you seen Sound Euphonium? That was another one I was surprised by with how accurate their portrayal of band and instruments was.
@@DrewMalou I jut finished the first season last week ang damn they really did an amazing job
Yes! I loved that show. It was so wholesome, haha.
@@DrewMalou hibiki euphonium was so wholesome anf then there's your lie in April. I swear I cried like. Baby in the final episode. Especially the scene where kousei reads kaori's letter
Yes, that show was so powerful! Been a while since I've seen it, and I want to rewatch it, but it's going to be rough, haha.
This video just convinced me to finish watching Attack on Titan. It's been almost seven years since I saw the last episode of s1
Ohhhhhh, you should do it!!! It's nothing but hype starting in season 2!! I hope you enjoy it, it definitely is one of my favorite shows!
I _wanted_ to dislike AoT so much. It was hyped up beyond belief from day 0.
But goddamit, that show really is perfect, isn't it? I still haven't started watching it, for a genuine fear of ruining my enjoyment of every other show
I mean what in the hell was that montage? Every single scene is more impressive than most anime's entire season's worth of sakugas.
I've seen the Levi vs Kenny fight dozens of times at this point and I'm still getting goosebumps - even without understanding anything about the story
Haha, you should just give in and watch it! AoT is an amazing show, but I don't think watching it will ruin other things for you, but that's just my opinion. I hope you're able to enjoy it one day! Thanks for watching!
why did you wanted to dislike it? I always wondered why people do that to things that got hyped, maybe you can explain it to me.
@@Tekeysix No real reason. And I definitely don't do this often, but sometimes you're just like "it can't _possibly_ be that good"
And in my defense - from what I've gathered - season 1 _was_ a bit overhyped. It's just that the series as a whole more than lived up to the high expectations.
@@hundvd_7 ah ok understand it. but yeah season 1 was more like the foundation for the story that follows.
@@hundvd_7 Season 1 wasn't overhyped, it was just different and came out at the right time. S1 is just the foundation
Came for Attack on Titan. Stayed for the industry progress lesson.
Haha, heck yeah! Thanks for watching!
Playing Fodlan Winds while showing AoT was just phenomenal and gave it an even more amazing feel
My mistake got the wrong song name I think. Absolutely hate how the right one is escaping my mind
No worries, this one is called "The Apex of the World" and is from Fire Emblem Three Houses!
fire emblem music over attack on titan animation? works so well hahaha
Yes! I'm glad you liked it. That's my favorite part of the video, haha. Thanks for watching!
Its kind of funny how all your examples are anime.
kind of makes sense as there is such a huge catalog which actually pushes technique compare to western animations aside from Disney itself, though the short Dreamworks spectacular 2d era is also a great example.
Yeah, I definitely could have used more Western examples, and DreamWorks is a great example! Haha, thanks for watching!
Just because someone doesn't use dynamic camera movements doesn't mean it's not pushing the boundaries
@@afsana190 I never said anything about camera movments, just that there is a larger pool of animation to pull from over the decades than has been produced in the west so by the statistics of quantity alone there are likely to be more examples of innovative quality.
That AoT animation showcase ...
Wow...
I am seeing many shows in new eyes now.
Thank you for making the world more beautiful for me
Yeah! You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! 😄
Gfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgfgf
The use of music in this video was incredible.
Haha, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
“Please consider subscribing” Never clicked that fast with a “of course, dude” coming out of my mouth. I can see your passion in animations and I can feel you are admiring the Attack on Titan part with us
Hahaha, thank you so much! That's so awesome. I definitely made that montage out of love! Lol. Thank you for the kind words, and for the sub!
ahhh when you showed the dynamic flying movements of AoT i had literal chills. i love that show to bits!
Me too! One of my favorites, for sure. I'm glad you were as hyped as I was! 😆 Thank you for watching!
PLEASE WHY WAS I ABOUT TO START CRYING WHEN HE SAID-
"let me introduce you to a little show called attack on titan"
Please the music hit and I was just reminded again of how amazing AoT is, story, music, and animation. It's literally my favorite anime of all time- so thanks for recognizing that :)
That's so awesome! That's exactly what I wanted! I'm so glad you were so moved and reminded of how good the show is. 😁 That is so dope. Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for watching!
@@DrewMalou Can I ask what the name of the BGM is?
During the AoT sequence, it's called Apex of the World, and is from Fire Emblem Three Houses! Thanks for watching!
@@DrewMalou I felt like a proud father since I have been advertising for a long time . I cried bro
Hahaha, heck yeah!! That's awesome man, I'm glad to hear it. 😁 Thank you for enjoying it!
You’re telling me beauty and the beast walked to so a Gory bloody killing show could run. I love it
Yeah, pretty much. 😅 Thanks for watching!
Yo I didn't know AOT with Fire Emblem music was this baller!
Haha, I'm glad you thought so as well!! 😄
I've just found this channel and I wonder where has it been all my life? Talking about Disney and anime (two of my favorite things) with amazing video game music in the background? "The Edge of Dawn" playing is the last nail in the coffin. Consider me subscribed before I finish this video.
Hahaha, yesss! Glad you enjoyed the content. Thank you so much for the sub, the kind words, and for watching!
Flawless video. What’s the ending theme when AoT comes on?
Thank you so much!! That is so kind. The song is called "Apex of the World" and is from Fire Emblem Three Houses. Thanks for watching!
Disney's Underrated Movie with mix 2D and 3D CGI that forgotten
Treasure Planet
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Prince of Egypt
Titan AE
Prince of Egypt is DreamWorks, and Titan AE is 20th Century Fox, but they do have great 2D and 3D elements and animation sequences!
lmao got wayyy to hyped when he mentioned attack on titan
Hahahaha, ohhhh heck yeah! Glad I wasn't the only one. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
I love your style of presenting. You offer succinct information to the viewer and then just let the media speak for itself without over-narrating. I'm not much a fan of AoT but your scene and music selection prompted both an emotional and nostalgia response. It was powerful. And on top of that, I got a satisfying educational dump about Disney in the first half, which is why I clicked in the first place. So yeah, well done. :3 I'll be looking out for more from you!
Wow, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I'm blown away by your response. I hoped that the AoT montage would speak for itself, but it felt strange not talking for a few minutes, so I'm glad that translated for you! 😆 Thank you so much for the kind words!
"let me introduce you to a little animation called attack on Titan" MY GODS I HAVENT FELT SUCH GOOSEBUMPS IN A LONG TIME
Hahaha, yesss! It worked! I'm glad you felt moved by the montage, that is awesome. 😁 Thanks for watching!
Talking about CGIxDrawing and most people not knowing about ufotable Fate Stay Night or even Kara no Kyoukai. Pieces of art.
I haven't seen them yet, but they are definitely on my list! Heard great things.
I love the background music
Yeah! Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
@@DrewMalou Great Video Drew ! By the way, what is the name of the track that starts at 0:41 ?
Thank you! That song is called Stickerbrush Symphony, and is from Super Smash Bros Ultimate!
@@DrewMalou thank you ! a friend helped me fond it.
You are welcome, and oh, nice! Haha, glad you found it.
Anytime western animation is particularly smooth: JAMES BAXTER!
Hahaha, pretty much! 🤣 The man is such a legend. Thank you for watching!
James Baxter is really a legend! He's animated not only this gorgeous scene but countless other memorable scenes for Disney! One that really stuck with me is the scene in hunchback of Notre Dame when Quasimodo lifts Esmeralda before the crowd - James can really nail camera turns
Yes! He is a master of perspective shifting shots. He has a similar one in Spirit where the camera does a 180 around the horse. Those shots are so cool!
The most beautiful one for me (that clicked with the music) was 10:48 - 10:53
You can easily fall in love with seeing and hearing that.
Haha, yeah! I'm glad you liked that, it's one of my favorites as well. 😄 Thank you for watching!
AoT has everything.
Good animation
Good characters
Good plot
Good backstories
Good plot twists
Has reasonable reasons and explanations on everything
AoT is one damned show. It set my standards on shows and it was the best anime and even thing in general that ive'd ever watched. regardless, the quality of ur vid is amazing and ur underrated af
Not with the ending. That ending ruined everything.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video. And yeah, AoT was out of this world good! Thanks for watching!
I just came across your channel and was pleasantly surprised, you need more subs man!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the content. I haven't posted very many videos, so hopefully come mid April when I'm going to post more, they will start rolling in! Haha. Thanks for watching!
The people behind the AoT adaptation are geniuses. They made 3d not look out of place by only doing 3d on buildings and not on characters in fast-paced scenes where they can simply blur out mistakes and hide imperfections using motion blur. The characters in fast-paced scenes are typically maneuvering in the air, running or just having their feet off the ground, also removing the "floating/weird footing" look when a 2d character stands in a 3d rendered area.
(an example of a weird footing/floating look when a 2d character is in a 3d space is in 9:46, check the footing on the guy casting something while the camera changes perspective)
Good observations! They really did do some incredible 3D work... thank you so much for watching!
i remember this, it was said to be the most amazing thing, and when we saw it in theaters it really was.. And then years and years later when it came out in 3D it was INCREDIBLE!!!
