ok hear me out… Zenless Zone Zero has an overanimation problem. #zenlesszonezero#animation
YouTube video by New Frame Plus
TBH, considering how allergic so much modern CG-based animation is to basic squash 'n stretch, and how stiff it is in general... ...yeah sorry bud but ain't on board this train One "over-animated" doesn't make up for the hundreds (thousands?) of "under-animated" works, but if it helps then good
That one character is overanimated enough to ruin the entire game by himself XD
Great video. And I love how matter of factly and casually you handled having to talk about the fanservice-y bits. hehe... bits...
Genuinely was talking about how the animation was really good, but felt too much to me in how they would over act when talking especially. Super amped to see it discussed more properly! Explains what I was thinking but couldn't articulate
I really love the disclaimer at the start. It's a good reminder that animation is an art, and while there are no right answers there are still wrong ones.
Lovely break-down, Dan! I see some folks get very defensive about the style, but I really feel like you didn't go after it in anyway. It just need some temperance, some polish and some pacing to shine amazingly! And I bet they'll get there!
Glad to have watched this, especially as someone who's been learning 3D animation and who's still getting a grip on how to make this stuff look good. I definetly think the stuff in ZZZ still looks cool but as I was watching it I began to see what you meant with how it gets exhausting after a bit.
Excited to watch this one! I love the over the top movement of ZZZ but it sure doesn't always serve its scenes
ngl i thought it was going to be the basic "you are stupid if you think funny motions are cool all the time" but u really explained every little detail you talked about very well and its effects on the game, at the end i totally agreed with you and even ended up learning some cool stuff, great video
This video was super interesting! I feel like after watching your videos as long as I have, even as an outsider to the industry, I've gathered enough info to be able to actually chew on this concept. Thanks for making this!
