This is too real.

Hey, you know what YouTube did after I spent an hour looking up classic electronic riffs on classical music? It gave me this. They put out an album in 2012; it’s in Apple Music.

I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.

Motion capture, rotoscoping, scene recycling, and similar techniques have been a part of animation since the birth of the artform. I'm pretty sure motion capture predates cel-based animation. Are we supposed to believe that Disney's Sleeping Beauty, the Superman cartoon where he first flew, and Gertie the Dinosaur aren't "genuine animation"?

It's from Ratatouille (2007)
There was a rumor that critics just really liked the unusual visual of "Happy Feet," because of the very believable dancing. But there, the creators "cheated" and filmed all the actors and dancers using motion capture technology, and then animated them into animals. Pixar saw this as a unfair play, because they draw all their motion animations fairly.

This is fascinating to follow, @Ryujin

Thanks

Level 1 in Lockpicking achieved. I need Masterwork Picks. Bent this one several times, trying to free the stuck pins.

Wow, that's a remarkably large pile of... something.

Disney was doing that for decades before Pixar was even a twinkle in Lasseter's eye.

This is from Sleeping Beauty, but the technique of cribbing from live dancing was a Disney technique for Snow White, too. Literally their first movie.

No idea why, but I'm now reminded of Mike Oldfield's original version of "Family Man." I think that the Hall & Oats version is better known.

I'm so fond of the titular song from that album, I tend to forget Family Man is on there.

Its entirely possible its interfering with my doctor's office being able to check my insurance...

I've pointed out elsewhere that for 101, they USED xerox machines.
