Anonymous asked: sorry this feels really cheeky bc I don't like, wanna request especially if you're busy, but it seems like modmad is having a really hard time lately (she has bad tendonitis and she just got sick on top of that)- I don't know if you have any unposted magicstone art lying around but maybe if you do you could post it? I know they love you and your work so it might cheer them up :'D either way have a lovely day and thank you for all the great duck drawings!
WHAT A GREAT REQUEST sorry it took a bit! I dunno if it was cheeky or bold or downright sweet but that was extremely nice of you to send it in, from Anon and Nat to you @modmad with love~
Not just the “movement faster than the framerate” kind, though that’s obviously what I’m looking at right here. When did that first animator go “Huh, you know, people don’t really see this stuff frame by frame. I can do better and faster motion by making the in-between frames Real Fuckin’ Weird”?
The Dover Boys.
Yeah, the ones from the memes. 1942, Chuck Jones was like “hey, instead of trying to copy reality like they do in those Disney cartoons, what if we utilize these inbetweens for wackier, funnier movement and emphasis on keyframes?” The technique was so unpopular it very nearly got him fired.
#ah!!! a keyframe! i’ll smear it! no one will ever know!!!!!!
