Purpose and character of use means the manner in which you use the copyrighted material. Say you are using it for educational purposes, you are commenting on it, or reporting on it. Parody falls under fair use because it is considered commentary of the original work. The purpose or character in which you are using the work has value independent of the work itself. Fair use due to the nature of the work is completely opposite from how you describe. The use of factual works is more likely to qualify as fair use, for example using historical or biographical works are more likely to qualify for fair use than fiction. Please, please, please fix this. The confusion could cause people to get in a lot of trouble.

oh i see now Well I'm not going to re-upload the same video again now. But I have pinned your comment to the top and to anyone reading, the ammendment is needed at 18:34

No matter the skill level we all needed this video as animators

Another good point to referencing old material is it being in the public domain if it’s old enough.

Plagiarism makes it harder for new creators to get a foot hold in theintustry or online‼great video btw‼

as a beginning animator, this is extremely helpful to know. Especially considering that all of my animations have come to mind through listening to music and wanting to just put that music over my animation. Thanks man. you're my favorite source for "how to" all things animation :)

Always enjoy hearing your thoughts - you have such a wide and deep knowledge of all things animation.

@@HowardWimshurst Been watching for years now. Your development, dedication, and growth as an artist has been inspiring to watch. Also enjoying your idea of traveling and letting those experiences inform animation.

Incredibly helpful. Yet another masterpiece commission from Howard. The effort you put into these commissions shows how truly dedicated you are and how much you care about satisfying the buyer. Interpolating using AI?? Manually finding the vanishing point for every time the camera moves?? What a legend.

Love that you said "go back to nature", I agree wholly. I'm just getting back into animation after a few months' break and just finished a 30 sec short with nature in mind. Keep up the awesome content!

Hey Harvard this is beautiful!!! Amazing work!!!

Thank you for making this video... Also for spelling out that I should hope to make something, I would get recognized for doing eventually instead of the easier route today... That was for me, thank you👊

Thank you for making this video. Have been thinking and wondering about these things a lot actually

I've been nervously looking for good royalty free background music for my projects that isn't KZread Library or just classic symphony. Advice like this is extremely welcomed. Thank you so much!

Incredible to hear these thoughts from a fellow pro. Thank you for your wisdom, perspective and honesty 🌼

This was very insightful, even tho I thought i was good i actually immidietly was feeling the need to contact an artist about something i forgot, so yea a very insightful Video!!

Reposted from another video cuz it was 2 years old. I said I haven't animated and stayed true to said animation for 2 or 3 months now... idk why, all of this, i see animations my friends are making and getting all these views and they're getting better and better. Im not getting better... and im starting to stop animating... I've fallen into the dark void of "i can't ever be as good as them...." i still think that, look at my animations and then i look at an ex friend of mine, we seperated cause we had a disinterest in our humor. Anyways, i see him getting better n better... im proud of him but not myself. Tanooki, another SFM animator, AMAZING person and AMAZING sfm animator. Cool guy. But i try my best to not watch his videos cause it demotivates me cause i haven't had motivation at all cause of my own stupid head. I feel bad for the people who HAVE subbed to my channel cause i know most of them aren't there for my animations, but a meme video i made a long time ago, "peter parker vs the flash school fight scene but with ed edd n eddy sound effects." That BLEW UP ....and nothing else did... i slowly started to lose motivation cause of that video, i wanna remove it so badly, but i just know that there are so many people that love that video. I cant do it. This video made me genuinely cry. Thank you for the video. I still don't have much motivation but your words really touched me. Alot of things you said, i can relate to as an animator more than i do with drawing. "I'll never have the best computer for renders." I do WANT to animate more. But i feel like I've dissappinted so many of my friends cause I've started and almost finished animations just to lose motivation and just drop it and never say anything due to my fear of their dissapointment...

Haha thanks for noticing I didn't want to feel too authoritarian, so it was a bit of a demonstration like - hey look, there is wiggle room. Hip hop remix culture is pretty interesting. Beatmaker distorts a sample - such as the Beatles, then if you feature that track, neither the Beatles nor the remixer is likely to stop you because neither has a leg to stand on when it comes to who owns it.

i watch all your videos , you are so good , thanks

@@HowardWimshurst I understand what you mean,I hope I can figure this out just as you're doing with your projects!

Earlier this year I saw a reel that copied a couple shots of one of my old 3D reels, about 10 years old, I recognized a sequence of shots and in particular last shot had a very extreme pose that was required by the guides from the client. I always thought that pose was kind of strange (I got to break the rig to achive it). I mean it is ok, I do not own the property, nor the copy gets a remuneration for it. I am flattered the author chose it but I think he could come up with something more original, or make it better, since it has been 10 years I can see a bunch of things I would change now.

I'm currently in a early animation stage, I still animate on a phone💀 This helps me out a lot!

Definitely save up for an iPad if you like the phone feeling. I myself have an iPad & it’s a game changer.

It's always Better to be originated with Cartoons homework projects because it's more better to see Animatiors making their own projects. Lots of animatiors make their work and also i make my own cartoons. there will be Times were we animate a parody show that's from a Nintendo video games and it could be characters so sometimes I see animations in paint or Sprite version animations about gaming characters like Legend of Zelda Mario, Sonic and more and sometimes the gaming music behind it. And some people make like characters from cartoon TV shows but yeah they make it in their own way but still characters be on the video games and TV cartoon shows that's what I've been seeing here on KZread But yeah the most important thing people should not take people's work without permission especially if they copy the drawing the same pictures and animating the characters in the same positions and they've been keep doing that and never ever made their own artwork and yeah they could get in serious trouble and we always learn from tutorials about animation and we try and do it on our own way. those copyright stuff sometimes some people can get away with it which that's kind of crazy here on YT so I definitely agree.

Thanx really for the advice, Small question, if you know about Kitbash 3d is it legal to use it in a movie?? Since I bought 2 packs and I don't know if it's allowed or not, what do you think?

I still remember when I was that, one of my characters (mondo man) makes an appearance in "Mitchell's vs the Machines". When I informed the member of the design team, responsible for doing this, I found that they were too high profile to pursue. I still outed them but it went nowhere. I wonder, how many more artist got ripped off by big name studios and weren't able to do anything about it?

Totally agree!

What means to copy an animation? The anime Chainsaw Man opening copy a lot of little scenes from different references... I mean... copying a pose alone is not plagiarism right? Copying the camera angle/movement... Copying a whole scene from a movie like Chainsaw Man opening made. So where is the threshold? AI can copy an style from an artist without inflicting plagiarism?

By asking me to draw a solid line that is applicable across all media, in all cases, that can be agreed upon by all human kind is asking me to do an impossible task. I outlined as much as I could within the video. This is why I say that animators need to develop their own sixth sense for what is risky and what is safe. What do YOU think about the Chainsaw man stuff? Do you think it's morally right? Do you think it's leaving them vulnerable to a legal threats? Do you think people might like the show less when they find out how much of it was copied? And if you want my hot take on the new AI thing: AI is a twisted Lovecraftian monstrosity created by goons with no respect for art. It is robbing all of us of so much. I absolutely hate it.

Supposing an artist placed an except of sample music on KZread that was for sale, can I still use it? I'm guessing that if the full thing was for sale then it won't be copyrighted PS: I'm only talking about using the except the artist posted on KZread to promote the full sample.

@HowardWimshurst

Жыл бұрын

that sounds risky. If anything i'd say it's the opposite. The artist wants to sell that track. The artist wants you to buy the track, and the only reason they have provided the preview is so that you know what you're getting. They don't want you ripping the preview sample to use in an animation without permission. The GOOD news is that you know what the artist wants... MONEY. Offer a deal. Either: offer to pay a premium one-off fee for the rights to use the track (even if it's just the sample section) OR offer to list the track name and purchase information int he credits of your animation - which leads to the artist getting more traffic and purchases. The artist is wanting, so the artist can be negotiated with. You spend money, but you gain a valuable contact: someone who can make good music.

No, it steals images and uses a program to determine shapes to be taken out before Frankensteining it into a set pattern with filters applied over it. It is thievery on many scales.
