Re-imagining Animated Movies with EBSynth (Demo)

Edit (9/18/20): I finally made a tutorial on how to do this!

When I first discovered this free program last year, I was blown away by the results. Even though the program wasn't originally intended for flat 2D animation, I have found it still works quite well, even though there are admittedly still some artifacts.

Note: The program doesn't actually blend the two keyframes together, that was done by generating a result with both keyframes, then crossfading between them in a separate video editing program.

Movies shown (in order):
Robin Hood
The Secret of NIMH
All Dogs Go to Heaven
Bambi

this is wild, like if everything looked like the 90s VHS box art

This will help out shading go by a lot more quickly, I’d be easier if whoever already knew which of the breakdown key frames are, to make it look in sync in each frame 😃

[Uhfgood]

as much as I don't care for this kind of shading for cartoons, this is pretty impressive.

Wow! It's so a modern-era of Disney Classic Animation!

You've put in quite a bit of effort into this. Keep moving forward with this and you'll be able to bring back several old movies. Great work.

Imagine finishing a whole movie this way.

This software makes the old animated movies look like 21st century 3d computer animation. Very impressive!

Now this is how u would reshoot 2D movies seriously people don’t we all know it?

[bloqqmayus]

The new version is 10x faster and have an option to set automatically everything (folders, keyframes numbers, even export to AE and having blended the scene)

[matthewxbradley]

That’s absolutely amazing. Your work is very impressive.

Disney+/netflix etc... should have a bunch of filter options on all of their animations.

[fangbiangongjiang]

Wonder how this EbSynth animation would look for old live action movies.

[zbi_]

looks kinda like the technology they developed for "Klaus"

[chowdary]

How did u restore the keyframes at such high quality could u please share your workflow

[vgmaster]

I want to see this done with Toon Boom animations.

Not that I'm trying to be a party pooper anything but, where is the lightning coming from in these scenes? It looks more like they're just slightly glowing.
