jakerupert Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Great piece! I wonder how this special wobbeling look is achieved.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Edmondson Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Right here. Dan very well done animation, as you'd expect from Mr Plympton. The question it raises ( this may not be the place for it though ) is, how is that Gas produced? Here in the UK there is a lot of controversy over Fracking. If that is the process ConEd is using then the clip tells one 'story' while hiding another ? regards simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted February 4, 2014 Admin Share Posted February 4, 2014 I wonder how this special wobbeling look is achieved.... At a glance the secret sauce appears to be the way he's recycling his drawings. It doesn't immediately appear that he is reversing the frame order (1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 3, 2, 2, 1, 1) and yet that might close to what it does. As I don't see any imagery reversing it's It's probably more along the lines of (1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3 etc.) where he is simply reusing previous cycles. It does appear that he varies this enough to keep it from falling into a strict pattern and yet the strobing effect is the pattern. He is definitely a master of the craft.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted February 4, 2014 Hash Fellow Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's a bit maddening to watch one of his features but they are entertaining none-the-less. You have to love the wobble. I think he said he animates "on fours" so that would be six drawings per second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekamps Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 you notice most of the wobbling when an object is still and because he loops a few slightly different drawings of the object. So along with the timing, this purposeful non aligned, slightly different drawings helps creates the wobbling effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this then begs the question; does this mean he's managing to get his animation completed on modified sixes or even eights? Through the reuse and/or offsetting of frames? Gerry might know because he's worked with him. (For those that don't know Gerry contributed to Bill Plympton's fairly recent short film (i.e. the collaborative remaking of 'Guard Dog'..)
