Animation Before Computers

Animating before computers was extra hard because they didn't have the 'animate' button.

Wait… I thought your videos were live action??? Do you mean to tell me you don’t actually look like a marshmallow guy?!?!?

8:05 WARRIOR CATS

Bro you just made my inner 9 year old so happy

[lawnmowerdude]

In my house growing up, we had animation cells on the walls from the jungle book, Robin Hood, and the Animaniacs.

I love how we’ve gone from James having creepy hands every once in a while as a joke to now having the hands every other second.

It's crazy how we all normalized that James has hands now in his animations 💀

[OriginalNotBlitzo]

I just got an entire grade 12 science class about how animation look like there moving . . .

2:39 the last thing I thought I’d see today was an Odd1sOut Video with Vsause😂

Fun fact, the oldest ever known animation is in cave paintings.
The best example I know of is in the Chauvet Caves in the South of France.
My favorites from it are the animals with extra legs so that when the light from a fire moves against the bumpy rock wall it looks like the legs are moving with the flickering light and shadow.
Most of this artwork was painted 25, 000 to 27, 000 years ago.
So yeah, animation rules and our ancestors knew it.

The sudden Vsauce transitions were gold.

14:13 THAT DEER IS A BIG SHOT (You'll get it if you look around the room and if you play Deltarune.)

my autism allows me to see every frame of everything, so no matter how smooth the video frames are I can see every single one. i'm a hoot to go to movies with.

[jrtta]

hearing an animator explain how animators animate animations while using animations as an example is really confusing

[MoonyToons_]

Never gonna get tired of animators animating themselves animating.

MY JAW DROPPED WHEN HE SAID WARRIOR CATS-

[unicornpearlz]

This is the coolest YouTube video I've watched in literal years. Amazing. :) Thanks for sharing this info and putting the animator skills in context.

[InfamousSwoosh]

i think it’s cool that James remembers working on Bambi even after all these years

[theakwardactor]

As someone who has always been an animation freak, it's so cool to see James geek out about something I've been obsessed with my whole life

[Kaylee-woex]

hearing theodd1sout talk about warrior cat animations just blows my mind

[bluevortexplays]

6:30 "Yeah, i know a lot of unique words that starts with the letter Z, like XYLOPHONE"😂😂😂😂😂😂

I learned more from James than I did from MY art teacher.
