With regards to the character kicking the bottle etc, there's a term coined form the making of Who Framed Roger Rabbit called 'Bumping the Lamp' -

"Partly through the film, there’s a scene where Eddie Valiant takes Roger into the back room of a bar, to cut off a pair of handcuffs that was linking them together. During this scene, Eddie bumps into a hanging lamp, which then swings back and forth for the duration of the scene, casting constantly moving shadows across the room and the characters. Animators of the scene performed an excruciating amount of effort to match up the real shadows in the room with animated shadows cast on (and from) Roger. This extra effort to make the scene just a little bit more memorable was termed “Bumping the Lamp” by Disney employees working on the film."

I intend to make a stop-motion inspired CGI series in the future and the animations I’m making right now are also inspired by the process (my channel used to focus on LEGO videos before I switched to Blender). I was so happy when I saw the Guillermo Del Toro Pinocchio in this and even more so upon learning the whole video would be about techniques used in the film.

Love your breaking bad validation of using square space…. Genius

[TheAlliconicOne]

3:05 Nicely well done of putting Blinx The Time Sweeper "Shop Theme" on the Squarespace ad. 😂 Haven't heard that song in a while. 😁

[zhanyang]

I love how he used soundtracks from both zelda and undertale

[asuramaya]

nice touch using the shop theme from blinx the time sweeper during the sponsor spot.

[KaizenTutorials]

Well explained and love the storytelling! Another great video my guy 🙌🏻👏🏻

[ConaaaMC]

Smeaf, never leave again this was a banger

[ryenis]

on your topic of "animate the ordinary" I totally agree on this because when i was watching "the bad guys" I disliked the animation of the cop character because thought her animation was too exaggerated and was too cheesy for me.

edit: one animation I really liked from her was when she was shifting through keys, which leads back to the to topic of "animate the ordinary"

[StaledTab]

im very interested in animation but i had no clue it was this complicated and now I'm having second thoughts 💀

[FutabaCG]

Smeaf I've been watching your videos lately and I just want you to know how helpful your videos are to beginners like me especially in animation

Why the music changes every 10 second
I feel like adhd child

[utoherozv]

The background music does help what you're talking about, but it's very noticeable. I mean if that's what you're going for, it's fire. However, it does mean I had to reorient myself to the music every topic change. Not something I would personally do, but hey you're the making the video not me. Keep up the great work, animation, and analysis! :)

Can you make a video on skinning a character? Specifically, "vertex skinning;" selecting a group of vertexes and assigning weights to bones.
1. How to select vertex apply a 60% weight to one bone and 40% to another bone.
2. Then locking the weights to the bones so nothing can adjust those percentage weights on the locked bones.

[Jackelzi]

this is one of my favorite blender channels love the videos

[Bunglay]

the fact that they made a movie with puppets in stop motion and brought inanimate objects to the movie is about a puppet that comes to life is just perfect bout to smoke the rest of this and watch that

[QuietGiantStudios]

The comments are so harsh lol it’s hard out here for content creators. I found the info informative, so thanks!

[shvsagar]
