I want to share a little bit why polish in animation is very crucial if you want to break into the
feature level quality of Hollywood movies.
CINEMA RESOLUTION.
In TV, which is 960x540 the screen is small enough to hide bad animation/polish. Even HDTV
which is 1920x1080p. The overlap, the moving hold, it will all looked better in small screen.
But in 2K, all our animation will looked so clear, even one jitters or no moving holds in some parts
of the body will be so evident in the audience's eyes. It will looked like the character is dead and
the audience will suddenly loose interest in the character.
That is why when we looked at the Pixar/Dreamworks movies nowadays, all their animation is
so soft,sometimes mushy and there's an overlap everywhere. Because without that superb care,
the animation will looked very jerky and ugly in Cinema Screen, not to talk about IMAX 4K res.
Sometimes we just take for granted what the computer give to us. All the inbetweens has already
been created to us for free, we tend to just go with it and not to care about every single frame is
there.
Even good animation will look bad in cinema if the polish is not taken care properly. So work that
spaghetti box up! put the effort to polish the scene and make good animation "Great"
Happy polishing! =)
