Metalocalypse was made by a couple of musicians, most of the animation was made to be as accurate as possible down to the fingerings on the bass.

Fun fact, the real drummer of dethclok is ambidextrous and has his kit set up to be both left and right handed with a center snare and multiple hihats/rides

[obsidian]

“Pickles” from DETHKLOK is my all time favorite fictional Drummer! The fact that it’s Gene Hoglan laying down the sticks in the studio makes it that much more BRUTAL!!! 🤟🏾

The thing about Calliou is that he is imagining that he is playing it right, so the sound we hear is what Calliou is imagining rather than what he actually is playing (what we see).

Imagine trying to *accurately* animate a Neil Peart drum solo...

[v_x]

Gotta love when a cartoon character plays an epic solo, full of tom runs and cymbals, on a three piece set with only a hihat.

[Big_Al]

Rest in Peace, Neil Peart. So good, not even professionals could animate him correctly

Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope) was directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, best known for his work directing Cowboy Bebop. he himself is a huge music fan and brought in Yoko Kanno (talented musician and composer of Cowboy Bebop soundtrack amongst many others) to work on the production of Sakamichi no Apollon. they wanted to get the animation of playing the instruments right, so the old animating trick of filming live session players and tracing the playback of their movements, named rotoscoping, was heavily employed during the production of the anime.

Thank you for the WWAP, I've seen so many videos harping on un-realistic playing of instruments where they don't recreate what's actually happening, they just point out the flaws. This made it a lot more fun to watch. It's also funny that the WWAP almost always sounds like what someone who just sits down at a kit with no experience plays. Great work!

[themiraculous]

Metalocalypse has always been pretty good on the accuracy of music stuff. They even went as far as too record brendon small playing guitar parts so they can make the fretting animations as accurate as possible. That show is literally made for metal head and guitar nerds, it's so good lol

Jesus being notated at 8:00. It's too perfect.

[Leonlion]

I got so happy when I see Kids on the slope in this video! So nice. There are also a lot carton with surprisingly good accuracy.
Hope we got more coming

I'm an animator, however I have zero knowledge in music experience, so seeing your WWAP treatment made me laugh. In class I was taught I have to do research and gather references so the fictional world feels realistic in the animation. So that also means if an instrument is being played and seen in the animation, I'm sure the Professors would be extra picky in that part to make sure the instruments drawn on screen would match in real life as well. I do think the animators, depending on the budget and deadline, may have been stretched for time for the bad ones, while the good animation with music matching up means the animator took the extra time to match everything frame by frame. I would have done the rotoscope technique, like you said where they may have recorded the drummer and then went frame by frame in a video and tried to replicate it in the animation frame by frame to keep it as accurate as possible. It was a funny video and I enjoyed it, plus I learned a lot from you.

[BrianEytcheson]

You got it right - it's definitely pronounced "Peert". That's the way Neil Peart pronounced it himself in an interview back around when Roll the Bones came out, and the interviewer (Jim Ladd on "Rockline", iirc) made a big deal about it.

[junova]

I think it's funny how 12oz mouse couldn't even possibly retroscope (trace a live actor) due to the animation style and use of the tail so they had to just go off raw knowledge.

A thing about animation production. While the voices will be recorded off the script, the later effects like music and sound effects are added MUCH later, after the animation is already done. Animators generally aren't animating to match a specific soundtrack. To top that off, a small change in an edit (for time or to land a joke) will completely destroy any synchronising of sound. You can often see this in live action medical dramas where you will see a heart monitor go in and out of sync with the heartbeat sounds between angles.

[McBehrer]

the drum animation in Kids on the Slope is fucking awesome. It's almost 100% accurate, because they filmed the person who actually played the audio, and then rotoscoped the animation on top of him.

You should react to more clips from it, or just watch the whole series on your own time, because it's just *really good*

[ShadowKick]

Hey, just a tip, if you hold shift while resizing an image it keep it's ratio. So it won't deform. Hope it saves you some time.

In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
