Major loss. Will we ever see someone of his caliber and commitment ever again?

Down to the brass tacks hard working technical animator? Absolutely, no one was as good at the fundemantals of the art as he was, he literally wrote the book on it.

Ah hell

did he?

Real legendary man. Had a chance to see a screening of The Thief and the Cobbler in London November last year and Richard was there doing a Q&A. It was very surreal to be in the same room with the person that inspired me to become an animator and it was an enchanting experience to see The Thief and the Cobbler on a cinema screen. Richard did a very heartfelt speech before the film. After the film and the Q&A he was hanging around and I tried to get him to sign my copy of The Animator Survival Kit but he had to leave before I got the chance. I guess Ill never get that chance again but even then his work has left a legacy that will be remembered. Hope he has a great time with Ken and Milt in heaven.

a lot of the problem is that animator is not a fun position any more, most newbies would prefer to be character designers or storyboard since you get more creative control that way

I’m glad the respect is here.
I’m too used to music legends dying on Yea Forums and nobody caring or purposely trolling.

I hate how all the real animators are getting to that time. Soon the skill of 2d art will be lost like the skill of painting or sculpture.

His book on animation got me through high school and half of college. I’m very sad to hear he’s passed away. An absolute legend and an inspiration to animators everywhere.

The guy who animated Who Framed Roger Rabbit, zoomie.

They can't get into the industry because there is no western animation industry, we just send storyboards off to Korea. Really, your best bet would to be to go into advertising, it pays well and you can actually dictate the budgeting and work of your own product (assuming you're not part of a larger firm, but even then you'll probably do doing stuff in house.)

The Recobbled Cut fanedit is more complete and better quality and for most purposes the recommended version to watch but I think it does include small bits of footage done after Williams was removed from the project as connective tissue.

Because no one cares about animation as an art form any more.

Because Richard Williams was told by some art school teacher that kids aren't learning life drawing any more.

Because Art has to be Modern and Pop, none of this traditional stuff.

Because Real Art is some lesbian shoving speghettios up her cooter.

Because Animation is for kids.

I'll take the bait
He cared about the industry to the point where he trained people and made an entire book on the craft, well before others even thought of it. He wanted people to love the world of animation and push it's boundaries away from it only being a medium for children (and man children).

When I saw a presentation of The Thief work print back in November, despite being 85/86, Richard Williams was still amazingly animated and passionate. So sad he no longer will be creating great work.

Attached: 057.jpg (3264x2448, 897K)

A bit outdated, I'd say. Internet change the paradigm, quite a bit. Say what you want about online artists, but those who are serious about it have a much easier access to guides and the transmission technics and knowledge is much more easier.

You don't need art school to become good anymore. and anyone can see your portfolio.

Actually heartbroken

Saw him at a director's Q&A of Roger Rabbit and Thief & Cobbler about 2 years back. It was nice to see these films in an audience (RR got a lot of laughs), and he gave a good talk after each film. They whisked him away pretty swiftly after the screening, which was a bit disappointing.

I think he just worked up the money on kickstarter and pitched it with no takers.
The pitch leaked a while back and wasn't really done iirc, which isn't what you want in a pitch I am led to understand. The finished parts looked good though, they looked just like his older stuff which was really nice to see.

There is no way he’ll finish it without croaking

Why is this so sad? He was a very old man with too many major accomplishments to name and was approaching death. If anything this was a triumphant act against the end of his life and shows he wasn't afraid of it ending. He died doing what he loved; working on his passions.

you act like we don't have a ton of cartoons today that have mature themes. of course mickey mouse will never have a lewd scene in an r-rated movie, but it's common consensus now that cartoons aren't just for kids or have to be censored, all-ages entertainment, even though they still make up a large majority of the industry. just because your highly-specific flavor of adult animated content isn't being made doesn't mean the wall hasn't been broken down and your average animation layman isn't much more open minded to what cartoons/animation can be.

I'll still know him as an incredible source of creative energy who had passion to bone with many proud, completed projects under his belt all while furthering the education, enthusiasm, and craft of character animation. It's stupid to remember a master for not completing their final work when they have so many other defining masterpieces in their life's work. You remember Da Vinci as an artist for the Mona Lisa, not the unfinished canvas he left behind on his deathbed

His commercial work is honestly amazing. One of the things I dislike about modern television is that you no longer see a lot (or any, really) beautiful hand drawn animation in them anymore. It made commercials worth watching just for the craft put into them alone.

I'll definitely miss is works definitely, the pink panther animations were definitely a favorite of mine when I was little and of course thief and the cobbler is an underrated classic that unfortunately got cursed by executive meddling, still at least the original came out in some shape and form. Gone but will most certainly never be forgotten, especially inspiring thousands about animation techniques. Big F right here.

Imagine hentai work in this fluid motion.

Yea Forums and /ic/ also constantly like to show that picture of LeSean Thomas and Bruce Timm saying how they didn't need school to do animation.

While forgetting that they either come from very rich families with a lot of network or, in the case of LeSean, had a family with artistic upbringing that was more than welcome to teach them their fundamentals

I'd be too busy staring in awe at the sheer majesty of it to get aroused tb h

Also, Bruce Timm is the polar opposite of Williams. Williams was one of those guys that wanted to put as much work and detail as possible into his work, while Timm is very much about using as few lines as possible and keeping things very minimal, usually to a fault. People would question Williams why he bothers to put as much extra work into his art as he did, and to him the answer was pretty obvious. Because the more work and effort you put into it, the more convincing and beautiful the final product will be.

Its a dang shame, it looks like I'm watching roger rabbit tonight

Williams was a well-known perfectionist and wouldn't compromise on anything in regards to projects which is one of the many reasons why Thief and the Cobbler was never completed.

Much respect to him. He's an anomaly in this modern world where everything has to be as cheap and cookie-cutter as possible. We need more like him.

How they thought this would work on the Greeks is a bit of a mystery

>Lately things have improved somewhat. So-called classical drawing seems to be coming back, but with a hyper-realistic approach because skilled artists are thin on the ground. Shading isn't drawing, and it isn't realism.
>Good drawing is not copying the surface. It has to do with understanding and expression. We don't want to learn to draw just to end up being imprisoned in showing off our knowledge of joints and muscles. We want to get the kind of reality that a camera CAN'T get. We want to accentuate and suppress aspects of the model's character to make it more vivid. And we want to develop the coordination to be able to get our brains down into the end of our pencil.

That's funny because Williams didn't even have a single style. Every single one of his works looks vastly different from the other. He's even done animation in the "Rob Scribner" style that John K. fawns over so much.

Yes, and technology has made it so that it can be made even cheaper. And cartoons 10 years from now will have even cheaper methods, leading to even shoddier output. And the cartoons made 10 years after that will be even shittier. And so on. And so on.

Rebecca Sugar didn't go to CalArts.

John K has bad opinions and is a pedophille who grooms children, so I don't care, maybe he can fuck off and go make rubber hose Boku no Pico animation or something.

I disagree actually. Cartoons of the 70s were cheap, but they were still drawn by skilled artists who were trained in the classic style. The same folks who worked on the classics in the 40s and 50s worked on the awful trash of the 70s. And you can still see their style and craft in the extremely limited animation. Modern cartoons don't even have that luxury. It all just looks like it was made by artists with very limited understanding of form, composition, or anatomy, and crapped out on some cheap program using templates. It's more akin to puppet animation than the limited hand drawn methods of 40 years ago.

Oh come the fuck on dude, at least cartoons these days fucking animate.

>Sorry man, the two don't correlate. That things become less costly to make, doesn't forcibly mean a dip in quality.

Vehemently disagree on this. The proof is in the pudding. If cheaper methods are available, corporations will utilize them. And if cheaper labor is available, corporations will utilize those too. It's all about saving cents.That's not just animation, that's everything.

Disagree. Completely.

>No, it was cheap ass garbage.

Yes, it was. But what I said is 100% true.

What a shitty year were having

I equate cheap with shoddy. Cheaper in my eyes will always mean a lack of effort and done to save money. And that is an inherently bad thing when it comes to art. Maybe it's a good thing if you're into marketing or if you're a CEO looking to save dollars on labor. But the final product will always look better if more effort is put into it. It's very strange that that's even a controversial position to take, but that's the world we live in now, I suppose.

>Disagree. Completely.
Just look at hannabarberra or any cheap cartoons, because better tools come into play, the quality overall improve. that's inevitable

Not always the case and when it come to cartoon with bean-mouth, it's usually not.

Man, it reached its peak and went back down around the 00's.

That looks amazing, but it's an outlier. Certainly not the kind of thing you'll see on television in any normal capacity.

You CAN do terrific looking animation using modern tools. But it still requires exactly the same amount of time and effort in making it look good as the older tools did. The only thing modern tools do is allow for production costs to go down. It's not modern tech that's to blame, it's greedy corporations taking advantage of the convenience of that tech. Certainly, there has been good work done using modern tools. The new Looney Tunes shorts certainly look like they were made with a lot of love and care by people who understand the craft.

I hope that's the beginning of a trend, but I'm not holding my breath.

There were a lot of factors that fucked over Golden and Silver Age animators, including the Hays Code enforcing a lot of censorship that killed Fleischer Studios (though WB and MGM cartoons did skirt a few things under the Code Wall), the rise of television, the death of Walt Disney and his studio entering a Dark Age following suit, the Me Generation in the 1970s meant cartoons were in limited in supply at least in the U.S., the new wave of anime gradually invading the U.S. airwaves and animation companies outsourcing to Japan to adapt and survive the '80s

It won't but it could if done with the same amount of care. The limitations are in the animator not in the tools being used. Modern tools can be a good thing if used properly, but more often than not they're used as a crutch.

R.I.P

rest in peace

He doesn't time anything like a 1940s cartoon though. Richard Williams avoids holds in favor of inbetweening much more like a soviet era animator but unlike soviet animators he adds tons of secondary action to embellish the animation.

People are already saying that the new Looney Tunes shorts look off because the animation is too good, like Andy Merrill Space Ghost dancing with two left feet versus a ballad dancer in a Space Ghost suit preforming beautiful choreography

I don't think so. I think kids of the 70s ate that garbage up just like the children of today eat modern shit up. Kids don't have very high standards until they reach a certain age or reason (or until they realize the Bugs Bunny cartoons shown in-between 'SuperFriends' and 'The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan' look a thousand times better and were made decades earlier).

It isn't. The animation is objectively better.

That quote seems to be saying that both are the same, not that one is better than the other. Stylistically, they're not wrong.

Remember kids, television animation always had lower budgets even when it first started
Looney Tunes had a much bigger budget than any H-B show, plus H-B shows had to fill up 10 minutes at least, while Looney Tunes got away with being a few minutes.

If you think a computer program filling in the animation frames to achieve a greater sense of lifeless "smoothness" is better than doing it hand drawn frame by frame, your taste is objectively shit.

HB is objectively worst.
>If you think a computer program filling in the animation frames
Irelevant. It still is better aniamted. also, that sequence in particular is clearly not auto-filled in by computers

>is better than doing it hand drawn frame by frame
that anilation in qeustion was clearly drawn frame by frame. Even if it is a short loop.

True. The only thing limited animation has to succeed at is efficiency innovation and have a pleasing design within those constraints. Comparing the quality of theatrical animation to television animation is like comparing a McDonalds to a 5 star gourmet restaurant. They're operating on completely different budgets with completely different intentions and goals, even if they both serve food and are restaurants.

Do you also like leaving the automotion filter on on your TV?

>HB is objectively worst.

Please. There's even animation companies from the 70's that had worse output than H-B on their worst day.

And besides, for all intents, the stuff being done at Warner and Cartoon Network today *is* Hanna-Barbera since it's the exact same studio since they bought them and merged with them.

>Do you also like leaving the automotion filter on on your TV?

Depends on the decade. If we're going strictly by TV stuff, I'd say

Obviously, the only jump in quality was the renaissance period and it was a slow decline. Whatever bump was achieved 30 years ago has completely subsided, however and we are back to around 70s level garbage.

youtube.com/watch?v=_biMtzAxiy0

What are you guys arguing about now again? This isn't the thread for it.

>> 70s > today
See this, that's objectively wrong. in term of quality of animation 70's is forever the worst era.

aNd you still have failed to provide a 70's HB cartoon better animated than TTG.

Richard Williams' principles, basically. More time and effort = better. Some disagree.

>strictly by TV stuff
>> 70s > today
And you are a moron again.

80's animation was just as shitty as the decade before. Modern animation has way more frames then all previous decades.

70s were the worst until the last 6-7 years. Then they were overtaken. You can do worse than 70s. The 2020s will be even worse than the 2010s.

>Cuphead's eyebrows
Fix it. NOW!

The 80s should really be split up into two sections

The early 80s (1980-1986), which were largely the same as the 70s, with some Japanese animated shows thrown in leading to a slight bump in quality, and the late 80s (1987-1989), when Disney and WB entered the TV market and started creating superior content.

They have it for ipad as well and it's nice because all of the video examples of techniques are embedded into the app.

>The 2020s will be even worse than the 2010s.
No, they won't.

>And you are a moron again.

Only a moron would defend terrible, lifeless, robotic looking animation. I swear you must be some executive defending his shitty company or something.

Oh man...

I can guarantee that they will be worse, and I can also guarantee that you'll probably still defend the ever-dropping standards in TV animation just the same.

It's like Tezuka wanting to keep working and try to finish Phoenix while on his deathbed.

Animation is only getting better you nostalgia boomers just hate the style or your jealous of the show creators success?

I may find some way to rewatch Who Framed Roger Rabbit tonight.

All right, user. You just keep on sucking that corporate dick. Your favorite company's shareholders will certainly be grateful to you for it.

Yea Forums needs to save the animation industry

There's no saving it at this point. Like the Roman Empire, it needs to collapse completely so that a successor can rise from its ashes.

Who?

Ah shit man, that hurts

Attached: Skeleton2.jpg (736x550, 135K)

animation doesn't die user. animation is a form of art, and art can not die. art can become less popular, but it will always be there in some form.

The Roman Empire never recovered after its collapse, user.

RIP to this fucking legend of an animator

Why are there children posting in the Richard Williams thread about Teen Titans Go being better than older animation? Take that shit to another thread you worthless brats.

2D animation is film is either nonexistent or done by machine learning programs (Into The Spidervese's wrinkles on character's faces)
I'd say the animation quality is overall better, but the best of the 70's vastly outshines today's best (counting anime is pushing it though)

I'll say this, it's better animated than Clutch Cargo, but Clutch Cargo, outside of the scary mouths, has the better designs

As in animating the incomplete scenes? Doesn't seem too likely. Top priority for his widow is probably going to be doing something with the film he'd been animating for the past few years. I could see an effort being made to create the best possible version of the workprint though, using multiple sources.

>it allow for this to be featured
It was their money shot for the finale. "regular animation" is now that, an event for shows thta have too much money. It's dying. when those animators dies, it's over.

Some people complained that it's all calarts now ansd it will never be back to what it used to be and throwing a tantrum when pointing out that things HAVE improved since the time Richard made his "you do'nt know what you don't know" comment, that was mmade befre Disney's renaissance.

Now they insit that everything is goign to be worst and that 70's HB is better than what we have today.

>It's dying.
It literally isn't. It's getting better by the years., at least for TV animation.

Richard Williams was Canadian, proving once and for all the Canucks can do better than Johnny Test/total drama bullshit.

It's so impressive.

There's no reason to do better.

His dedication to mind blowing animation will be missed. It depresses me to think how he was one of the few who put most of his efforts into the animation itself.

co is fucking stupid. try going into one of those owl house threads, none of them know anything about animation industry at all and they refuse to be taught.

Fuck.

It's a real problem for the western animation industry and probably the biggest leg up Japan has.
Hobbyists out there with crazy talent are great but most animators of yore learned the good stuff by working under the masters and receiving that experienced eye and building on that.
Now everyone has to teach themselves from scratch since all the old animation masters have gone off to various parts of europe to work independently.

It's sad that a lot of people here only care about the reality television-tier drama that happens behind the scenes of the industry and not the actual craft itself.

And it was followed by the Dark Ages.

i think owl house looks pretty promising from an animator perspective, since dana was the person they got on gravity falls to do some of the most important animations

F.

I need the unfinished prologue sequences NOW

Calarts seems to be going to the wayside in favor of a pointier 90s-esque Vivziepop/Villainous style. Look at actual animation students (not dumb tumblr kids) on Twitter or Instagram and you'll see a lot of them using that style instead of faux-Steven Universe pastel mush.

Does wacky pointy shit still have its issues? Yes, but it's a huge technical improvement.

I thought this was one of those threads when I first saw it, feels bad
and god is prologue good. the colored eyes are just so striking with everything else uncolored

It's not fair.

not sure how you could even get that cinematography in live action, the camera flies around like it's on the head of the bee at the start of the short

You don't even know he was fatalistically funny in his early days. He hung out with great early animators and watched them all die. You think he didn't develop a sense of humor Snowflake?

that's your fault bro

That just means you're ignorant
