Why aren't there more stop motion cartoons? They're fucking awesome

Wow, Pongo has some big nuts.

Pure stop motion film making =/= stop motion integrated in live action for special effects.

In that case why don't they make more live action movies with stop motion integrated in for special effects?

God I love that art style. It's absolutely fantast-

...Why does the dog have balls?

You should also compare the budgets of some Stop motion and 3D films, it'll surprise ya. It really does seem to be a small difference in cost (though the effort is definitely larger)

Also watch some stop motion, there's a certain something that can't be recreated in 3D, a sloppiness that's really appealing.

Would be a bit difficult to conceive 101 children without balls.

While you virgins are staring at the dog's ball, A connaisseur would be jerking it to the piano's leg

You know that stop motion isn't photorealistic right? At most you'd do it for aesthetics. Computers can create life images now which is the entire point of special effects.

Because male dogs have ballsacks. Try going outside some time tumblr.

Kids are impatient

Because CGI wasn't a thing yet.

Aside from stop-motion being time-consuming and expensive to work with, it has some technical issues that make it look really distracting in any live-action movies. Look at the ending of the first Terminator and how the stop-motion segments clash with the rest of the movie. If there had been any other way to pull off a walking metal skeleton a the time, I'm sure they would've done so. But since the technology wasn't there, stop-motion was their only option.

Why though? You want something more tactile and present than CGI characters, you're better off with high-quality costumes and prostheses. Look how far they had come by Alien in 1979. Or Jurassic Park in 1993. Stop motion doesn't have that same real quality, it's generally a smaller object superimposed in, and looks choppy. It was great at the time it was being widely used for monster effects, movies just moved past it.

Because they are a massive hassle to make

Very clever. Haha. Why did they feel the need to draw doge balls, especially as it would not be allowed in the film, is what I want to know.

My Life as a Zucchini got an oscar nomination. I think heartwarming stuff works better on the masses

>If it's so expensive and so much work how come it stop-motion was the go-to technology before CGI was a thing?
Because CGI wasn't a thing, so it had novelty behind it.
If someone wanted to emulate sloppiness on a computer, they are more than capable.

It's even harder and more time consuming to make than normal animation. Even more so if you don't want it to look like uncanny trash.

I mean, so did Isle of Dogs.

Looks passable at best, anything with fur is ugly.

Wow, I hadn't even noticed that. Who's the pervert that got away with doing this in concept art for a Disney film?

Because many people are not super fucking inhibited and will go for naturalism when possible.

>Aaah a nipple! Someone got to get canceled NOW!!

Not everything you disagree with is tumblr, retard.

Simmer down /pol/tard, or you'll be forced to get rid of your gun.

Building rigs and environments digitally is easier - all you need is a PC and a tablet. Some small projects were made entirely by one person.

Not very feminist browses tumblr but it's the same social circle. If you think dog balls is something outrageous you're either of the tumblr sphere or christfag sphere. I can tell by the writing it's tumblr.

I don't even need a gun I just need to flash a porn mag to make you people drop dead.

Lol, let me know how that works out for you.

Ken Anderson apparently.

I'll correct myself, I should have said "can't reasonably be recreated".
For example, in Fantastic Mr.Fox you can see the hair move around where the animators hands where moving the models around. Such things could be recreated, but 3D animators have trouble enough with hair, animating the hair with each frame would probably be a massive hassle for 3D, whilst it was just part and parcel for that movie. Even if they wanted to recreate such a visual, the studios probably wouldn't let them, and ask them to keep it safe.

but you cant

Lego Movie comes pretty close to capturing that look

was this any good?

Give it a shot, it's on Netflix.

>My Life as a Zucchini
>the masses
In what world? Nobody outside of France watched that movie. Isle of dogs made literally 12 times as much money as Zucchini.

Why do you fucks STILL care about Oscars.

A couple key thing your image showcases is the low depth of field, imperfections like smidges and seams, reflection, and color grading. Really incredible work.

too jittery

Don’t forget the smears are made of lego, too.

There are plenty. if anything, it's surprising it's still alive. Aardman and Laika are two studios completely dedicated to stop motion. Directors like Wes Anderson and Tim burton come back to the genre time and time again. Shawn the sheep is so popular in europe

What about puppets?

Friendly reminder one of the judges talked like she saw the movie.
There was no Zucchini in the movie you filthy liar!

Because it's all racist and ugly, user.

>CHECK OUT THIS RADICAL TWITTER SCREENCAP DUDES

This is why Twitter got rid of verification.

I didn't even notice the piano leg. I thought Pongo's owner was kind of poor? This piano looks expensive as fuck.

We still get about 1 a year at least. They're around if ya look for them.

And what is a smear?

Isle of Dogs was nominated for an Oscar as well so it's a moot point.

Plenty of good movies get Oscar nominations, doesn't magically make them bad movies just because the Academy happens to like them.

>How come stop-motion was used instead of cgi before cgi was invented?
Chesus christ

Oscar noms are picked by people who actually work in animation (well that's how it used to work anyway), the Academy at large only votes on who actually wins.

Smears are an animation technique where an animated object is stretched, copied or distorted between key frames to create the illusion of movement. It essentially simulates motion blur.

Smears were originally meant to allow for smooth looking 2D movement without having to double an animators workload. Which is the opposite case for CG movies like the Lego Movies where motion blur is an option.
