Cheating the Camera: The Penguin Problem

Commonly in animation, animators will cheat the camera. This means they'll only animate what's in frame, and not animate whatever's outside of frame. This can lead to some janky looking animation off camera. This video is a different angle of my Penguin Problem video that shows everything going on off screen. Hope you enjoy!

Penguin Baby used Teleport!
Mario got confused!

Seriously though, Nintendo should hire you. I'm so glad that I thought about penguin abuse when I made that comment on your test animation of Mario.

Now I gotta run or else its mother will throw me off a cliff as if I were a Poké Ball.

1:24 The way the music is perfectly timed to the animation.

This is terrific content. I will be showing this to my art students after the Christmas Break. So much to learn here. Thank you!

0:21 almost reminds me of spongebob telling gary to get in the tub

It’s always interesting to take a look at the mechanism’s of someone’s video or music. I love what you got going here!

Crazy to see how 3d animation works and how you used the camera to hide the baby penguin until the camera moves.

[Goomba]

Bruh, this legit feels like watching a Boundary Break video!

[TealToons]

Can I just say that I really love how the movements of the characters looked so cartoony? I enjoyed it so much.👏👏👏

[AadithIyer]

I love this look behind the scenes man! You're so awesome!

[Spygirl]

Excuse me while I nerd out in the corner.

Let's just say that Toad called the Mama Penguin telling her about what Mario has been doing with the baby

[God-xdwr]

I love how you can still see the horror on Mario’s face even from far away.

I dare you to animate mario doing the stairs glitch

But why did the baby penguin float all the other times he got thrown off but then actually disappeared at the end 😢

[aarona]

Oh good the penguin never actually fell. Did someone let momma penguin know that yet orrr??

[wowe-xp]

what did mario realize when he finally got rid of the penguin because at the end his eyes go wide

[Riccardo-qe]

I think the Penguin Baby gotta Pokemon 😂
