    Or simply for some of them: 1. Pacing 2. Scaling 3. Value Contrast - bc that's basically what it is. No matter what color you use, as long as they contrast in values then you're good to go. 11. Direction and focal point - which also ties into what he was saying about no. 3, with the direction of the action being the focal point and not the character, despite the contrast in values. 10 & 12 Framing and directing - is a given I'd say tho. That's part of basic animation.

    so to condense basically use contrast everywhere you can find it: shapes, movement, speed, light, framerate, etc. Than composition: framing, dynamic or static, relationship to the frame, shape language and clarity. Of course all the animation principles and finally camerawork: camera moves with the characters, wide lens, direction. These principles are used everywhere by great artists old and new, and Nakamura applies them very well in his field

    Thanks, i'm a noobie animator that definitely looks up to Yutaka Nakamura and even more so "Norio Matsumoto" who animated the original naruto vs sasuke final valley and many other big fight scenes. Always been my 2 favorite animators.

    Nakamura would not exist without norio but at the same time norio only had a fraction of the directional capabilities that nakamura has both are phenomenal animators and action animation would not be where it is today if they didnt exist

    Bro u need more subs this is so high quality. The only thing I disagree with is 7:28, I don’t think people disliked Abe’s cut because of the slow motion, cause usually the point of all his cuts r to just be as fluid as possible. I think it was more so the flow between cuts was sorta nonexistent, making it feel less impactful.

    Great shit man I'm working my fucking ass off to become the best action animator I can possibly be, your observations are super valuable and that's definitely one thing I'm realizing is how fucking important intense contrast is, in just about everything from composition to color to speed to size etc. in addition to use of fundamental geometric shapes, direction, and added anticipation through delays.

    Artist here 5:26 saying his his shading is made up of triangles sounds like he intentionally and meticulously shapes them as triangles lol. It's a common hatch shading for a lot of animators so I think it's a bit of a stretch to say his shading are all triangles, despite being technically right 😅. Instead, I'd say he has a _preference_ for geometric shapes for his fxs. Idk I found that line funny for some reason 😂 Akin to art critics of modern times trying to put more meaning behind an artists' stroke than just it being..a stroke, lol.

    Well i mean technically hes just drawing the shadows the same way he does smears and as i said before in the video these aren’t things that Nakamura actively tries to do but its more rather just a definition of what he actually does do and this is for beginner animators who don’t understand everything yet so its all for the act of simplification and no its not “a common hatch shading for all animators since the production line makes it hard for those to be implemented and it makes it harder for people down the line like inbetweeners and cleanup artists but he gets special priority and doesn’t even use inbetweeners in the first place because he draws all the frames himself

    funny how almost all of these are different forms of the same abstract principle (contrast or its inverse, sameness), namely applications of contrast regarding different aspects of animation (time, shape, color, etc . . .) Framing all these different applications as an organic result of the same abstract idea (rather than artificially forcing them into "separate things") would probably provide the viewer with a more accurate window into the actual mindset of a great animator but such criticism might be a little pedantic and maybe even misplaced. After all, principles in art are never to be taken as rigid rules but should rather serve as impetus for "guided thinking" to ultimately arrive at some greater understanding of the particular art form. So i dunno, maybe your video is perfect as it is :D

    Alot of people don’t know where to start creating their own action scenes without basically stealing from scenes that already exist but with this i hope more people can decide to start thinking up new action rather than just ripping off the ones which already exist, it is as you said, not rigid rules but rather for “guided thinking”

    Great presentation. Consider just removing "that's enough about this principle" and just jump to the next one. Either a clean, related transition, or none at all would really take your pacing to a new level. Also consider adding timestamps -- this is a phenomenal resource to come back to!

    It is a great video all throughout, but I feel that the visual motif part was a bit lacking with Nakamura's examples. I didn't really get to point out how and where he uses the visual motifs in his action scenes, and how it helps him to be visually appealing. And from what I understood, there might be a ton of types of visual motifs? I'm pretty much a newbie an animation and I would like to get into it, so I unfortunately still don't know all of my basics properly... Could you please help me by helping me understand how Nakamura implements it in his animation style??

    I get this tbh after looking over the vid i do wish i would have went into it more but to put it simply a visual motif is just a motif like in literature but for visuals so (A motif is a repeated pattern-an image, sound, word, or symbol that comes back again and again within a particular story) but with something visual like in deku vs todoroki both of them had their hands consistently at the center of the screen to tie in the climax of the fight, with the one piece opening its less of something thats physical and more of something that is put into the composition of the scene that helps tie together the opening sequence separately from the rest of the show but since it’s pretty hard to use effectively unless you are really experienced for 99% of people dont try to use it and some of the time it might even come naturally as you storyboard a sequence
