Recently, a video showed up on my <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> home page titled \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hgCw0YRMFHY\">What If <strong><em>Jason and the Argonauts<\/em><\/strong> Had Smoother Stop-Motion?<\/a>\u201d The video runs <strong>Ray Harryhausen<\/strong>\u2018s iconic stop-motion sequences through an algorithm that uses artificial intelligence to \u201canimate\u201d more frames.<\/p>\n<p>The process is known as <strong>motion interpolation<\/strong>. And it is, effectively, a perceived increase in frame rate. In the \u201cupdated\u201d segments, the clunky movements of the Colossus of Rhodes <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear fluid. The jerky joints of the sword-wielding skeletons are all lubed up. But is it an improvement?<\/p>\n<p>As another video essay \u2014 shared below \u2014 explains, \u201csmoother\u201d animation, via increase in frame rate, isn\u2019t necessarily \u201cgood\u201d animation. Coming from the perspective of an animator, the essay offers a pointed response towards videos like the <em>Jason and the Argonauts<\/em> one I came across. As the essay underlines, applying the process retroactively to existing animation is a bit\u2026 problematic.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear: there is nothing\u00a0<em>wrong\u00a0<\/em>with animation with a higher frame rate, let alone using interpolating software during the animation process, as some animation studios are starting to do. But problems arise when you apply interpolation to an existing work of art, especially when the application itself is marred with a superior sense of the process of \u201cenhancing\u201d the original footage.<\/p>\n<p>Originally created for live-action footage, interpolation ignores many of the core principles of animation (especially <strong>timing<\/strong> and <strong>easing<\/strong>). But that is, as they say, just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">Watch \u201c<strong>Smoother animation \u2260 Better animation<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1.14285rem;\">\u201c:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Smoother animation \u2260 Better animation [read description]\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_KRb_qV9P4g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"block-839c096a-2881-4e76-aef1-4e01b79aa34f\">This video on animation frame rates is by <strong>Noodle<\/strong>, a YouTuber, animator, and essayist based in the United States.
