Behind the Scenes - Animating 1 Frame in Real Time
Фильм және анимация
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget! It was amazing getting to animate on this movie, and I thought it would be cool to show you the actual process of animating a single frame in real time. (This is Rocky. I loved animating him.)
Every frame is different--some go quicker than this, and some take more time. It all depends on what the action is, how many characters you have, whether you're changing mouths, and if you're a fast animator or not. 😜

About Me:
Welcome to my channel! In addition to making flipbooks, I am a stop-motion animator and worked on the Oscar-nominated movies ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Missing Link. And I'm currently animating on Chicken Run 2: Dawn of the Nugget. I fell in love with animation as a kid and have been doing it ever since.

In a world over-saturated with souless CGI, the fact this film is keeping the original animation style after all these years deserves huge respect. I also adored the first film in 2000. I haven't been this excited for a movie in a LONG time.
The fact that a single frame like this is comprised of removing the head, changing the mouths shape with another, smoothing out that mouthpiece so it blends in with the rest of the head, replacing the head, making a few more adjustments to the model so it blends in perfectly with the previous frames and then finally taking a picture of that frame just to do it all again, all while taking up around 10 minutes just goes to show the amount of hard work, perseverance and hard work these animators have in them. You should all be proud.😁
Can’t imagine how much longer it must have taken when whole scenes had to be done at once, rather than backdrops being composited in later

@@sagewilde6866ure, but some mediums are definitely faster than others. If you want to make a movie stop motion that looks as good as a Pixar movie it would take ages. Computer animation is by far the fastest, but it has the ability to make a "better/higher quality" image in less time, and you CAN take a long time to do it if you choose in order to make it even better. The style of the film makes a huge difference, but let's say you're going for a more simple style and not something super detailed and/or realistic. In that case, computer animation will be WAY faster.

It usually goes like this. For 3D animation the main animation’s and cycles for the model are pretty fast compared to the rest of the process of modeling/rigging setting up scenes etc, god help you if you want the model to do something it wasn’t made to do. For handrawn/digital frames making changes is it’s specialty because everything is easily interchanged as the animation is simple(compared to 3D mediums) just requires much more expertise and understanding on how to make it look good for the production. Stop motion. God help you on everything

Don’t give up ether, have patience. If this type of stuff is possible, then I’m sure what you’re trying to do/achieve if far from impossible!

Stop motion is so beautiful to see! Such talented artists!
I experiment with short burst hand-drawn and stop-motion animations for my own entertainment as a hobby from time to time. But even an absolute dog turd amateur like me knows that this is the kind of job that requires patience, discipline, commitment, and locking yourself in a room for hours on end. It gets even worse when you've got that "perfectionist" mentality, or OCD or whatever you wanna call it. Doesn't matter what type of animation it is you're doing. 2D, 3D, Stop-Motion, once you start goofing around with it and then unintentionally getting in the zone, you just immediately become laser-focused to the task at hand. Any kind of disturbance that could disrupt your flow is immediately gonna make you feel like "Eh, I'll finish it later" and before you know it 2 years have passed and you still haven't finished the sh*t. So huge respect to you my guy.

If any of you thought CGI is a long and arduous process, look again. The only real driving force keeping any kind work going is keeping eyes on the bigger picture, and how it'll look when done, and stop-motion is no exception. Even today with much more readily-available gadgets and software, it's just as hard as it was when the first stop-motion movies started over a century ago, and the amount of dedication needed is all the same. As a kid, I tried stop-motion with my Legos in the early 2000s, but I got bored and just... Gave up, and even with CGI today, I just barely have the patience for that. You've gotta respect the effort and dedication that goes into just even a frame or a few seconds of stop-motion animation.
Mis respetos a las personas que hacen este tipo de animación, la paciencia que deben de tener para hacer este tipo de animaciones

Very surprised that the pieces aren't just solid to be switched out easier, and that the lines aren't just removed in post. Unwrapping every single piece just to take it off again one photo later seems like madness!
What's crazy is that the models used for the film had to be made from scratch using only references from the first film, because ALL of the original models were destroyed in a warehouse fire just weeks after the release of Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Not gonna lie that i have a huge respect to the people that animate the stop motions movies, if this little part taked more than 14 minutes, imagine animating an entire 1 hour and half movie!
So much work and effort, you and Aardman are absolute pros.
Several hours for a few seconds. I wish I could do it. I would need frequent long breaks. I’ve done a little bit of stop motion, and of course I made a few flipbooks (inspired by you) but I would need years and years to get this done.
23 years to make a masterpiece movie. Staying true to traditional clay animation. I hope more like Wallace and Gromit will return one day.

What's crazy about stop motion is theres no ability to create frames in between the keyframes like traditional and CG animation. It's all frame by frame. You have to know exactly how the timing is going to go and how much to move the model for the next frame. Stop motion animation deserves the utmost respect out of any medium.
I think Chicken Run is an alright movie, but even an alright movie has passionate animators and I could respect them for that.
