@animation_ben: No AI was used to make this, it is all stop-motion done by hand. Each frame took me about 15-30 minutes to pose, the whole animation took almost a month! . I’ve had a lot of people asking me if I listen to music while I work, I do! It slows me down a little, but I think the entertainment is worth it. If I really have to lock in, I won’t listen to anything. Drop your questions in the comments, I’m happy to answer them! . #stopmotion #animation #dance #CharacterAnimation #indie
This being stop-motion is insane, your understanding of a dancer’s movements and ability to translate it into this medium is wild

No no no no you don’t understand (you do but since you worked on it it might not come as much of a surprise to you) but from a dancer’s perspective it’s so inSANELY HARD to wrap my head around this being stop motion because your understanding of weight and weight TRANSFER especially in the footwork alone is so so so so insanely realistic. A mocap suit would be so much easier to believe.

Stop motion is the most insane thing to me because you have to make EVERY SINGLE FRAME from scratch

Laika be breathing down your neck and if they’re not they need to this is incredible. (Not that value of art is determined entirely by the opinions of a studio but if they had any sense they would)

yo I just want to acknowledge that not only does this take videography/editing knowledge but this guy has human anatomy and movements physics NAILED. You could tell me that little blue guy is actually a human in a costume and I'd believe you

Stop-motion blows my mind. Everything about it, the patience, the skill, the vision of the end goal. I’ve never seen stop-motion like this, it’s frickin awesome and so real, like my mind sees that movement as exactly the way a human moves but my eyes are seeing a model and it tickles my brain. It’s like a human in a costume. Absolute genius 👏👏
