epic!

Wow, impressive!

And that's why I'm glad I saved these mushrooms.

that was amazing and must have taken a very very long time to produce. Upvote.

utterly awesome?

It's cool, but I'm pretty darn sure it's not done just as shown in that video, those pictures SCREAM rotoscoped (even if hand rotoscoped), and there's no way he drew a picture, threw it onto the pile then drew another one with no onion skinning at all, there's no way the pages would always be in the same spot, or the lines be perfectly attuned to each other frame to frame.

So, yes, awesome animation, but a little dishonest in how it's 'actually' done.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! Cool tune and one of my favorite movies!

LOL wtf is going on!!!!

I think the reason his hand is on a mouse is because it is advancing the film by one frame in a monitor or lightbox built into the desk or projecting down onto it. Looking at it again, I think the projector is above the desk, probably in the same box as a camera that takes a pic of the page when each is done.

For me, that does not at all diminish how impressive this video is. He not only made every one of those sketches by hand, but somebody also moved the camera all over the place, millimeter by millimeter between frames.

And the music is awesome, too. From an old video game? Anybody know what it is?

This is by the same guys as...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

So good. This should hit #1.

Great video! I don't think there's necessarily a light box or rotoscoping going on. When he clicks the mouse, he's probably just advancing a frame on a monitor that is not shown in the video or triggering the camera(s) to take the pictures that make up the video. With a little practise, artists can do amazing things without a reference subject.

This guy as is very likely using reference frames and is drawing far more basic than other images we've seen created here lately.

The style of drawing looks like they're tracings. You tend to handle forms differently when tracing than when not. I don't think it's a big deal, although I'm not a huge fan of that particular look. The drawings do seem to get better towards the end, though... I guess that counted for a lot of practice!

Yeah, this deserves another *promote

Song is "Anatoliy Shishkov" by Rymdreglage & Ninjamoped (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ninja-chips/id429181592?i=429181610&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 ), from the youtube description.

I'm impressed with the time-lapse meta-art setup but the rotoscoping of T2 is rather crap.

new title..... Man needs girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. Or a plastic sex doll....

They couldn't come up with something better than an ass-ugly animation of Terminator 2? Seriously? Terminator 2?

It's like they thought "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we do a time-lapse video of an animator in action?" and their creativity and talent stopped there.

ok - everyone together now....

"We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?"

this video induces hypnotic suggestion

Want an idea of how long he was sitting there? You could see his beard grow.

Really apparent, 3:26-3:32

CGI.
