This for example is a smear frame

FP Edit: Wow this is awesome, comment if you guys want more. Dont send me nudes( Im a guy, not very fond of dick pics, except for nixon), send me your animations. Im also an animator, so ill also take tips and tricks to animating if you guys got them!!

And if u watch closely, u can see the smear frame in context., a lot of the time, they just look funny.

mfw i accidentally eat a weed brownie because i have the munchies from the brownie i ate an hour ago

When you are trying to explain to your trip sitter what is happening in your head.

Spiderman

Spidey tax

Edit: Im an animator, i appreciate all the talent and work that goes into all animation. i didnt post these to make fun of them. I just think theyre funny, and theyre often missed. Thank you guys for getting me to the fp!! comment if you want more.

Smear frames are used to exaggerate motion in between normal frames, when every frame is like that, well... /a/bxJid

That entire episode seemed to be animated differently, I'm not sure if it was an artistic choice or if they were just pressed for time.

I watched an entire series done by this very company. It made me appreciate this episode and IMHO this is one of the best of all of Naruto

The large action sequences are usually left to freelancers, this way you can get dynamic scenes without having to hire people

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

into the company. One Punch Man did the same by hiring hobbyists who had free time. And in Naurots case I think it was newcomers.

And this is why the criticism with the recent season of Pokemon is completely wrong. Animation smears are for good animation, not stills.

9 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 1

Saying the animation is bad because a screenshot of a smear frame looks ridiculous is comparing apples to oranges.

@OP so what is the purpose of smear frames?

9 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 1

its for the purpose Cr1ticalError said although these are extreme examples used to give it a more cartoony look. (1/2) Most arent this [1/2]

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

extreme, they are mostly like a light motion blur filter/slight distortion to show speed.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Cool, thanks!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Probably to recreate the motion blur that we are used to see in movies (and it might speed up the process of animating)

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

Same reason your hand looks elongated if you move it up and down quickly in front of your face. That's how movement looks in real life.

9 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

Ah, ok. So basically more realistic animation? Or smoother, maybe.

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

both, most of the time

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Basically a little of both. When something moves quickly in real life there appears to be blurred motion. This is done to recreate that.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Also quick actions in animations take only a few frames sometimes. If you were to not use blurs, it might appear choppy/jittery.

Do they draw it, or draw multiple frames and smear them together?

9 years ago | Likes 294 Dislikes 2

Yes.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's called in-between animation, which creates a fluid transition between key frames and makes up the majority of the animating process.

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

It depends on how it's animated. Some of these is the computer creating the movement in-between the created frames.

do you draw the smear frame AFTER the 2 frames they're smeared between? then you can overlay them? I'm trying to learn

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

How do you decide what to draw in the smear? some things seem to make sense, but then you have 2 sets of eyeballs in the same frame. Why?

9 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

There are no rules - you usually test it multiple times until it looks decent.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

You set up key frames and then find one or two frames between them that look decent enough when sped by at 24fps
