I was hoping it was revealed she was a robot replacement for his wife that died and he resents her for looking like his wife but not being his wife with a final shot revealing this as an "In Memoriam" over the picture frame or something.

>>82530035
The majority of CalArts shorts with mediocre and never appear online. These are just the best ones where the student actually puts effort and takes advantage of the school's resources.
>>
>>82530442
I'm relatively certain they upload all the character animation films on here.
>>
>>82527646
>>82527805
Still find it hilarious how people are actually blaming the school and not the TV studios that will literally hire anyone and let themselves be a training ground for first-timers. CN even hired a fan artist to work on the PPG reboot.
>>
>>82530371
That was weird. I liked it

>>82527805
I found the OP short enjoyable, at least. You're retarded for spouting memes before watching
>>
>>82530469
Not nearly. This Vimeo group only represents films that students have uploaded themselves. Was at their open show a couple weeks ago, and there's at least a few hours worth of shorts that I'm not seeing here. The show itself is nearly eight hours long.
>>
>>82526563
Haven't been captivated like that in a while.
>>
>>82529273
This was great but the voice acting sucked.
>>
>>82526563
Eh, it's cute but the animation was horrible! I can't believe this is from some who is studying at CalArts and has paid money to learn about the principles of animation in full detail. I've seen YouTube videos with better animation than this. Still, it was pretty cute. I just hate the animation.
>>
>>82530371
Surprisingly good. The first few seconds made me think it was going to be utter shit tbqhwyfam
>>
>>82530844
How can you master the principals of animation by just learning it in full detail? It's clearly a matter of practicing, like every other art form. I think the animation is acceptable, he just needs more practice.

>>
>>82531052
They take months studying just the basics and turning in assignments. This short was just kind of bland. The designs weren't all that interesting and the animation wasn't all that impressive. All I'm saying is that I've seen YouTuber and even other anons make better looking animations than that and I'm shocked that animation was the result of someone who paid money to study animation.

Even if you paid a ton of money, the only way that you will master animation is by practicing and studying more on your own time. This is why some youtubers are better at animation than actual CalArts students. You can't just pay to get your skill, you have to earn it.

Wow, CalArts is literally just a plaque on a wall. That's Newgrounds-tier stuff. And I don't mean good Newgrounds.
>>
>>82531052
Well the thing is the work this artist produced is strongly suggesting she hasn't even learned fundamental drawing principles.
>>
>>82530844

Pretty much this, the description said that he is in his 4th year in CalArts.

So he must have a lot of practice by now.
>>
it was cute, i enjoyed the others too. the sound effects were always off though.
>>
>>82531702
>>82531815

He either slacked through a couple of his classes or just hasn't practiced at all outside of the required assignments. There's clearly a lot he needs to improve in.

My guess is that after he graduates, he can get into Nick and CN, but not Disney TV and movie studios.
>>
>>82531948
Btw, found his blog. Turns out he is better at some areas of animation than the short showed. Could be because he was on a tight deadline.

http://supersantacruz.tumblr.com/archive
>>
>>82531948

It's really that easy?

Nick and CN are not the best of the best, but are big names.

Start as a storyboard artist in those channels is pretty neat and almost a good future in the industry.
>>
>>82532108
It is when you go to CalArts. People go there because of how easy it is to network with the studios in the LA area. Studios like Nick and CN tend to hire people that are local and are the most eager. You don't have to go to CalArts to get into big name studios, but it certainly does make the path simpler.
>>
>>82530844
>>82531052
>>82531170
>>82531286
>>82531687
>>82531702
>>82531815

Not everyone who studies animation at CalArts is there strictly to become animators. Some go on to be story artists, or character designers, etc. You can usually tell from the focus of the film... some shorts are real chicken-stratch; basically animatics... but the storytelling is super engaging. And there have been plenty of one-note gag shorts that have stellar animation. The shorts that stand out are made by those keen enough to manage their time right in order to make it that way.
>>
>>82532108
Also, Nick and CN are now looking at the internet to find new people. Nick has a yearly Animated Shorts Program where anyone can submit their 3 minute short storyboard online to Nick and make it a reality (but only if it's really good and worthy to Nick). Meanwhile, CN has hired a tumblr fan artist to work on the PPG reboot.
>>
>>82532186
This is also important to know. A lot of people from CalArts don't actually work in animation. TV animation is usually done overseas.
>>
>>82532257

This is true; though I've known many Carartians who've made the jump from LA to wherever those foreign jobs reside. For some, life as an animation artist can be very nomadic... though it's in the pursuit of doing what you love, so I can't judge too hard.
>>
>>82529273
Oh shit, that's my friend's short! Cool.
>>
>>82532558
That's cool. I actually saw this short before it was posted in this thread and enjoyed watching it.

How did you become friends?
>>
>>82532024
Damn, she's /lit/ as fuck
>>
>>82532186

To add further (and to drive home the time management thing), you're actually encouraged not to attempt to make the film all colored and pretty until you have the story and rough animation down pat... and 1st/2nd year students have time limits placed on their shorts to encourage them to finish. Whether or not these guidelines are followed is totally up to the student though, and some get so caught up trying to please their fickle internet following, or make their festival-ready magnum opus, that they simply don't finish in time. Or they end up crapping out a sub-par reflection of their efforts.

Also why the fuck would you sign up for a character animation class and barely commit to animating? It just seems like a waste of money when a basic illustrating degree will give you the same skills.
>>
>>82532969
It sucks on purpose, yes.
>>
>>82533160
The biggest problems with the short don't have to do with the art style or animation. Personally I felt the writing was too safe and the pacing wasn't too good.

At least this guy understands camera movement.

The problem with so many of these animations (OP's video especially) is that the people drawing don't understand cinematography. They do all these scenes from the perspective of a single wide-angle shot, only rarely deviating from that "shot". It's lazy and takes away from one of the amazing upsides of animation that YOU AREN'T HINDERED BY A PHYSICAL CAMERA. Your imagination is the camera and every shot you draw can be done from any conceivable angle, even ones impossible to capture in the physical world.

It irks me to see one of the biggest advantages of drawn media be completely wasted because the creator doesn't bother to learn their craft.

They do. They can't teach you how to animate decently. You can only teach that yourself through practice.

>>82539944
Is CalArts really comparable to Gobelins?
>>
>>82540009
I dont know, is it? I just mean that time restraints arent an excuse for lacking quality when you see other schools put out better work dispite the same time restraints.
And I dont just mean a bit of a difference in quality, I mean it looks like some of the calarts people are missing some fundamental understanding on art.
>>
>>82539972
>the animation is alright, but why does it look like an amateur drew it?

Because they are? They're still students, anon.
>>
>>82540065
Sorry, let me re-phrase that. Why does it look like someone with no real experience in art drew it?
The body language is incredibly awkward and she's off-balance half the time.
>>
>>82540035
Can't argue with you there.
I'm just saying that maybe Gobelins is a lot more restrictive on who gets in or what gets uploaded or maybe the French animation industry has higher standards or less laziness on the artist's part.

But from the 10-ish I've seen >>82526563 and >>82526666 are the only ones disappointing on a fundamental artistic level. All the others are decent and full of potential.
>>
>>82540219
Like >>82531687 said though, they dont really seem like the result of people having attended or are currently an education. you can get these kinds of results by teaching yourself.
they're not bad per-se, its just odd to me to see something with such a low standard coming out of a college dedicated to the arts.

are they just first year students?

Kinda schizophrenic. A lot of comedy is timing, and things move a little too fast for the sudden shifts in mood you're playing off for jokes. All of the stuff with the ghosts looked really good, like it was completely fluid throughout, vs some of the stuff with Pandora seemed kind of choppy at points. That's my take.

That one is really good.

>>82535424
I really like the timing in that one, it’s reminiscent of Tartakovsky.
>>
>>82536151
This was pretty good and cute as well.
>>
>>82540966
It seems to me like something you could actually see on a children's network, as is. That's pretty impressive.
>>
>>82541057
Probably thanks to the backgrounds, which are well realized. Which is I-don’t-know-what-I’m-talking-about speak for “I thought they looked good.”
>>
>>82540035
A lot of the films from Gobelins are also group animation projects though, while CalArts are individual projects for the actual animation, except small things like coloring (and even then I think they usually do it solo unless they're having too much trouble finishing by end of term)

this short is just. SO GOOD. the pacing is incredible, as well as the character design and animation. i hope you guys like it too!

>They do all these scenes from the perspective of a single wide-angle shot, only rarely deviating from that "shot".
It's endemic in American (2D) animation and always has been. Even Disney did it all the time in their movies.

Sure it's easier and faster, but it's also very boring and limiting. And they've been doing this for almost a century now.
>>
>>82542722
People who go to Blockbuster for a wank.
>>
>>82526563
Why do the outlines of the characters seem to be shaking?
>>
>>82542101
If that is the case, then that probably explains a bit as to why the Calarts stuff looks rough and amateurish compared to the stuff produced at Gobelins and Sheridan. Which makes me wonder, do they do any Group projects in CalArts?
>>
>>82542839
Don't think they do many group projects, the intros to the Producer Shows are group projects, but most are voluntary (I think) if they want to team up for 48 hr films or week long films.
>>
>>82542722
ME BITCH.

Seconding this. Gobelins (well, France in general) tends to produce artists with superior draftsmanship; but the reason their thesis films are more technically polished are due to students being heavily encouraged to team up and assign hard roles for each person on the project.

In the long game, this means Gobelins tends to produce crazy-talented specialists. CalArts on the other hand, takes a more individual, generalist route and encourages students to touch every aspect of the project.

I believe both scenarios are a reflection of the state of the animation industry in their respective countries. There's tons of animation being produced in France right now, meaning one can afford the risks that come with specializing. In the US, you can't guarantee that there'll always be boarding, animation or comping jobs. So you learn all three. "Diversifying" is the name of the game, and the key to a relatively stable career.

>>82542299
That was, uh, interesting. In a good way. I think.

It has this funky way of looking solid at some points and flat in others. Not sure what to make of that or why I feel like noting that, just think it’s interesting.

>>82542831
It's a style.

POST YOUR WORK
>>
>>82542839
There's a film workshop for 3rd years that involves a group film. It's not the same as the way Gobelins does it though. The group films are made up of maybe three students, which is a lot less than Gobelins' teams. The only way to really get a taste of that is to do the exchange program in the second semester of you're 3rd year.

It would be nice to actually have a larger group film that's not only available for 3rd years. Honestly the quality of work would shoot out the roof when you're not a single person constantly running towards a deadline.

And yeah Producer's Show openings are usually collaborative with the whole department.
>>
>>82542662
uh

hmm

that exists
>>
>>82537846
I remember this artist i realy like his earthbound fanart
>>
>>82543146
I guess I like it because a lot of the other ones try to tackle bigger concepts that get resolved too quickly whereas this one's just pure simple fun.
>>
>>82543144
I like the idea of group films. Professional animation work is collaborative by nature, so wouldn’t a group film better gauge students’ readiness for a “real” animation job?
>>
>>82543255
Fair enough.

Just to clarify, my reaction was more just “I don’t really know what to make of this” than “I don’t like this”.
>>
>>82543111
Makes it seem like they're about to have a stroke. It was pretty nice though.
>>
>>82543261
A lot of schools do that through their thesis films, but CalArts seems to straddle the line between being maybe a more independant filmmaker, and serving the needs or the industry. Like other Anon said too, it also immerses the students in every part of the pipeline to be flexible.
>>
>>82543341
Flexibility is a big thing in arts education, it seems. I went to school for theatre, and I spent just as much time learning about directing, designing, and being a part of the crew as I did acting.
>>
>>82543372
Don't know if it's right or wrong per say, but probably beneficial to the students so that if there's an aspect they want to learn more about they can start with at least a basic know-how.
>>
>>82543261

See >>82542971
While the collaboration aspect is definitely true, this experience can be gained on the job; and honestly should be something you'd have learned by kindergarten. Your expensive class time would be way better spent learning additional skills to keep you employable during industry dry spells.
>>
>>82543422
Yeah, I suspect it ends up depending a lot on where the individual student goes afterwards. I'll probably never spend any real time behind the scenes, so I doubt I'll get a lot of use out of the non-acting stuff, but I guess at the very least I appreciate it and don't act like a dick to them.
>>
>>82543261
>>82543341
As said here. The school really wants them to flexible, but also there's no room for actually understanding what it's like to collaborate with others on a large scale project.
There are people that collaborate on 48 hour films, but those are usually silly shitty shit.
>>82543424
Do you really want to go into a job with no experience with working with others on a large scale production and fuck up constantly, because I really wouldn't. There's a different between working in a professional environment where you have to take orders from others and being some little kid working on a silly group project. You're more likely to fuck up that way if you're not smart enough, especially for a kid straight out of college.
>>

There are collaboration projects!

my friend just did one. it was like an anijam.

What I meant is within the department itself. It's much easier to work near each other than through the internet or something along those lines.

This guy knows his atmosphere, i liked murder at makeout point more tho because i love slasher stuff

>>82543486

That's going to happen regardless. And don't worry, your sups will understand, they've been there. Speaking as an Anim Sup myself, just be pleasent to your peers, absorb everything you can, and hopefully 'constantly' fucking up turns out to be not as much as you thought.
>>
>>82542971

Other thing about Gobelins I haven't seen mentioned - it's harder to get into than CalArts. They want students who know how to draw already. You have to have strong drafting skills. They also kinda expect you to have some animation basics down too - their entrance exam has portions where they give you model sheets from TV shows and ask you to animate sequences. As a result, Gobelins' student body skews older than CalArts. CalArts has older students but plenty of people fresh out of high school. Gobelins students have often been out of school for a little bit - though they have plenty of young hotshots too.

>>82544671
Also you need to speak japanese for some reason

>>82529273
That one's really good looking, but it's kind of weak story-wise. It basically has no ending.
>>
>>82530371
the style was very cool, but i didn't get why the creator had the dog scene put in? was it to make it more surreal or what? the story also felt too loose but i suppose that might be the point.

It's not cartoony/animated enough to fit the jokes. That bear thing could've been Spongebob/Ren and Stimpy levels of disturbing and hilarious with better timing. Also that kid needs a better voice actor.

Welp, I guess I can tick "watching an animated video of a kid making out with a videotape that was *not* Japanese" off my list.

Nothing quite like Dodoba. This year a lot of the more finished ones felt kinda slice of life/ grounded in life one way or another.
