>>114754096
Miyazaki doesn't rotoscope. You can watch any of the Ghibli documentaries and see how they draw realistic movements without usinga model.

>>114754217
>Miyazaki doesn't rotoscope
But his animators do.

I don't know why people get but mad when someone mentions rotoscoping. Shit looks good when it is done well.

>>114754324
I don't have any problem with this. Animators and artists use those wooden mannequins all the time.

However, in that Ushinawareta show it is so obvious that you can't even tell if it's just CG or they traced over it.

>>114754054
Is that from the im@s movie? I thought it was gonna have good animation, not uncanny valley shit.

>>114754722
Probably a poor choose of keyframes and the animator didn't know when to stop mimic superfluous movement.

>>114754147
It still bothers me how Japan calls this arm wiggling shit "dancing"

>>114754054
If you're not gonna animate it, don't make it animation to begin with. Or just admit defeat and switch to CGI. This is just ugly.

Couldn't stand it in the Hare Hare Yukai and whenever Kyoani uses it, really. They're not talented enough to hide it. Honestly bits of CG action is better than Japs rotoscoping. At least they're honest with CG usage and try to do some creative things.

>>114756322
Modern anime has different 'beats' than classic era american animation, maybe it's easier to blend rotoscoping with the latter, I don't know. Or the Disney animators had more experience and were working at a higher framerate.

Uncanny valley as fuck.
Why not just make abstract animation if you cannot make realistic animation look not creepy.

Aku no Hana is a masterpiece of anime that Perfect Blue could only ever hope to emulate. Perfect Blue is 2deep4u bullshit with no depth and style over substance. Aku no Hana is a piece of art, one of the only anime that can be considered art, the character faces lack features at a distance because just like in real life, you don't look at people or distinguish their features until they are communicating with you, it is excellent symbolism and attention to detail like that that makes it fantastic, combined with great pacing and breathtaking visuals, as well as some of the best characters in post-world war 2 anime. The awkward, dark and anxious atmosphere in the show is perfectly represented through slow movements, a brown palette that manages not to be boring to look at, and amazing scenes such as the 6 minute walk, executed to perfection. If you don't like Aku no Hana, I suggest you read some books, get your high school diploma and get some taste, because it is one of the best anime ever.

>>114758251
>>114754541
perfect blue was one of the 1st anime I've ever watched. When I liked and was hyped for everything. And even then it sucked ass

>>114758246

Holy shit you nerds know so little about animation it burns my eyes. You finally learn what "rotoscoping" is and act like it hasn't been used in anime until recently when rotoscoping has been a part of animation as a whole for fucking forever. Sorry if the magic is ruined for you now, but get over it.

Ufotable and SHAFT are the only studios that don't rotoscope.

Or you could just watch them yourself? And consider that when an anime has a sudden dramatic increase in movement and quality, especially a low-budget one, it was probably rotoscoped to some degree. Using reference for movement is a common practice in animation and it isn't an inherently bad thing. Sometimes it's done badly and sometimes it's done well, but that doesn't make the very practice of rotoscoping invalid.

uncanney from beginning to end

I can't wait for the Prison School anime to have rotoscoping (and stillshots and bad cgi)

>>114762594
What the fuck? I just told you how to tell when a scene in anime is rotoscoped just by looking. You're the one who can't be assed to take look at footage yourself and come to your own conclusions. I've laid the foundation, do the rest of the work yourself. But anyway, when you've been aware of what rotoscoping is for years and didn't just learn the word recently on /a/ like the plebs you are, your eye becomes able to pick up on subtle things about the way characters move that seem more realistic than usual. When rotoscoping is done well, it blends in smoothly with the rest of the shot and doesn't look jarringly out of place.

You're not likely to find Japanese animation company that will admit to rotoscoping openly because the industry bows their heads and pretends they don't do it ever since Miyazaki talked shit about it in his book "Starting Point". That doesn't mean they don't still do it, they just pretend that everyone can magically draw movements perfectly from their head without ever needing ref, which is bullshit.

>>114754054
they rotoscoped adult men to get this, didn't they? Something's wrong with the proportions and weight.

>>114754054
It looks like they forgot to do inbetweens to smooth it out. While you can tell there was definitely effort put into this, it looks half done.

It looks like ass as a final product, but would work great as an animation test.

>>114763055
I watched it and it doesn't look rotoscoped at all.

>>114763219
That's because you're an animation noob.
Lurk fucking more.

>>114763131
Women and men's center of gravity is different which is why their body language moves differently. I don't remember exactly but I think a woman's center of gravity is in the waist while a man's is in his chest, or something like that, which is why women's hips sway when they walk and men walk more stiffly.

>>114763219
If you seriously think this is doesn't look rotoscoped you're a fucking blind idiot.

>>114763255
So just now you've watched all of Ghost in the Shell, Haruhi, K-ON, Naruto, and Cowboy Bebop? That was fast.

>>114763332
Women do generally have wider hips because their chest and back muscles are less developed than men giving them a smaller hip:shoulder ratio. However this is not nearly enough to shift center of gravity to the chest, especially for Japanese males. The swaying is done to make the person look more womanly. There was a sketch about this in Nichijou.

Not everything is rotoscope, but you be be assured they still at least used reference material. Rotoscoping is going beyond that and just copying the movement exactly instead of doing keys and tweens. Using live action reference material is how Disney animated all of their 2D stuff.

>>114763417
I've already watch them before, which is why I'm telling you to prove it, because they weren't any

Live action with photoshop filters applied to make it look like a drawing is the future of anime.

>>114763039
It would fit this shit manga.

>>114763565
>Rotoscoping is going beyond that and just copying the movement exactly instead of doing keys and tweens
No it's not. That's the ameteur's way of rotoscoping. The real way to do it well is to know that you can't copy every single movement and frame exactly. Though you're still tracing over the basic movements, you have to adjust the style and proportions to make it fit in with the scene and not look like it was traced. Rotoscoping isn't only done when it looks like shit, it's just that when it doesn't look like shit most people don't recognize it as such because it looks decent.

>>114754147
This is a good rotoscope since it still looks like 2D anime and their movements doesn't feel weird from my perspective.

>>114754054
>>114754096
The movements are pretty good but it somehow gives the illusion that they are cell shaded CGI or something. Their movements feels too 3D.

>>114763565
>Using live action reference material is how Disney animated all of their 2D stuff
They used rotoscoping too. It's a combination of both.

"Rotoscoping" should be word-filtered to "I know dick about animation".

>>114754054
This is disgusting, they move like retarded kids how can anyone think that this looks any good, even extremely bad hand drawn animation is better than this.

>>114756193
But rotoscoping an entire series is by no means cheap.

>>114763909
They used rotoscoping in a different way. They don't just trace the exact outline of the person frame by frame. Instead, they use it as a guideline to make fluid movements of their characters.

>>114754478
>>114764067
>when it is done well
That's the keyword. It's almost never done well since their not supposed to trace the outline of the person exactly, just how they move and react to physics.

>>114754478
>>114764067
People don't like having their illusions shattered. Too often when people learn about the actual process of making art, when realizing that it isn't magic and that it takes a lot of different techniques to mae the final product, they think that somehow depletes its value or means that it isn't that hard to pull off. It's fucking stupid.

Knowing the mechanisms behind a work doesn't invalidate the work itself.

Also Santa isn't real, and it was your mother replaced your wooth with a dollar coin while you were sleeping.

>>114754054
Rotoscoped
>>114754096
Probably not rotoscoped. Probably done by some hyper realist animator like Hiroyuki Okiura. I doubt that it's rotoscoped because the scene continues from that to a fairly surreal scene where he and his desk start falling through the sky, flying the papers everywhere, and it still keeps the same style and quality and frame rate.
>>114754147
Not rotoscoped, just heavily referenced, similarly to "Thought of you" by Ryan Woodward
>>114754200
I believe only two cuts of that are rotoscoped.

>>114763462

Rotoscoping is tracing (this is the key word) your frames over a video. Not all realistically animated scenes are rotoscoped. Using video footage as reference is not rotoscoping.

And no, rotoscoping wont be the future of anime, if that were the case it would have happened a long time ago. It's not a new thing.

>>114764261
>hey used rotoscoping in a different way. They don't just trace the exact outline of the person frame by frame. Instead, they use it as a guideline to make fluid movements of their characters.
That's what rotoscoping is! Why are you people so dense?

>It's almost never done well
No, it's the fact that when it IS done well people like you with untrained eyes can't tell what they're looking at when they see it.

It's when you shoot live action footage of a scene and trace over it. If it's traced too accurately it looks strange, but when skilled animators know how to adjust the movement and make it more smooth and natural looking most people can't tell.

>>114764443
I don't think the kyoukai no kanata scene is rotoscoped because some of the key poses still stand out slightly, or that's how it feels like. Especially at the beginning. I could be wrong though. Not sure if there is any behind the scenes stuff for KnK

The cowboy bebop movie op is done by two amazing animators (Okiura and Nishio) who definitely don't rotoscope. If I remember correctly the only rotoscoped scene in it is the basketball cut at 1:20. I think there might have been one other but I don't remember (and can't point out) which one it is. Could be the jogging scene or the girl riding the bike one. Not sure.

Same thing with the IGPX scene by Okiura. That's not rotoscoped either. Okiura doesn't rotoscope and the movement doesn't look real anyways. the movement is too perfect for it to be rotoscoped. In real life people never move perfectly. It's also a bit too wavy for it to be drawn from real life footage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T11WTfR_nE

>>114764963
I respect Miyazaki immensely, but I don't always agree with his opinions.
>>114765183
Right. And that doesn't mean that a) that animator could not have possibly used rotoscoping or that b) sometimes well animated scenes are rotoscoped while others are not. Animation is such a hodgepodge of different techniques used at the same time.

It's because of Idol shit. Has to be suitable for small portable stages. As the idol goes around the country doing a billion short life performances every year.

You must have a very strong stomach or something, good rotoscope >> good CG

I mean, it's not as good as some of his later works but it's still great.

>good rotoscope
Nice oxymoron. Rotoscoping falls in the uncanny valley. It creeps me out because anime characters are not supposed to move with such realism.

>>114756488
Japanese aren't pigs like westerners. They eat small snacks. Putting cookies and crackers in individual wrappers like that keeps them fresh.

That's also rotoscoped, nigger.

>>114765521
You just described bad rotoscoping.

>>114765521

No, bad rotoscoping falls in the uncanny valley. Just like badly executed CG falls in the uncanny valley.

No but they did a commentary on that scene in the BD.

>>114765607
Give me examples of good rotoscoping in anime because I am fairly certain you are full of shit.

>>114765582
and obviously embarrassed/ashamed about it.

I used to live in Japan due to military. Go into a 7-11, Lawson, Sunkist, Family Mart. Get a bag of cookies. Every single one is wrapped up like some OCD nerd's dream. Lucky Japan is also OCD about their recycling and being clean. So all that packaging doesn't end up as litter.

>>114754054
it's like the characters are big human-shaped water balloons

And yet idlem@sterfags will eat this shit up.

No it wasn't. They planned the choreography with real dancers which Woodward then used as a reference for the animation. This is extremely common especially in the western animation industry. If you ever look at "making of" videos of any disney film, 3D or 2D doesn't matter, there are sometimes video clips included where the animators themselves actually act the scene in front of a camera to use it as a reference. This is not rotoscoping.

And just to clarify no I am not saying every frame is rotoscoped, but some of them very obviously are such as when they do wall kicks.

>>114765838
The film has 55k pre-orders.

>>114754054
I like this a lot. and i don't think this is uncanny like you guys say.
making good animation is a big part of attracting lot of audiences. and in the range of what i heard, rotoscope doesn't cost much money.
Watching smoothly moving anime chicks is really enjoyable compared to current anime characters.

>>114765882
So you cant even give me one example of good rotoscoping and instead have to resort to claiming something is partially rotoscoped with no proof.

>>114754054
they rotoscoped in that sora no method.

>>114754147
This is very good, the one in the OP is fucking vomit inducing.

Ayyy lmao

>>114766058
yeah
you were the only person in the history of ever to to think that

>>114765958
You are asking me to prove something which cannot be objectively proven. No animation company is going to come out and say they use rotoscoping in Japan. That doesn't mean that you can't observe with your eyes and come to your own conclusions.
I'm not sure what else you want me to do other than fly out to Japan and ask every single animator if they've ever traced over pre filmed footage. I can't hold your hand through this process. If you want to believe no animators in Japan use rotoscoping ever, except when it looks like shit then be my guest.

>>114766058
you have gone too far.
stop bitching about the races.

>>114765788
>They confirmed it?
Well, they didn't say it was rotoscoped.
They only mentioned the name of the animators responsible for the dance scene.

That ain't no chip I've ever heard of. Pretty much every other country in the world calls them something similar to fries (frites, fritas, frieten).

ITT: People think "rotoscope" means "realistic movement."

Right?

>>114766565
He said the skinny ones are fries, chips are thick cut.

Sometimes rotoscoping is necessary because of time and budget constraints, but animators don't deserve any credit for it. Anyone who knows how to draw anime characters can rotoscope without any skill. It will always look worse than scenes that are drawn by hand. Same thing applies to motion capture for CG in movies or animations in video games, handcrafted stuff almost always looks better.

Most of whom can't draw or animate for shit, have zero knowledge of animation history, and know nothing about what goes into making animated works.

You really have no idea what you are talking about do you?

>>114754147
this one looks great

>>114766907
I think that proves that you don't know what you're talking about about since they had no problems admitting the rotoscoping. Haruhi and Kids on the Slope also used rotoscoping for their musical scenes without hiding this. What all three have in common is that they used it for close ups of people playing instruments. It's probably the only way to get the timing right.
