“What part is so cool specifically?”
Ok i might lack the proper technical terms, but everytime i try to do something like this cartoon look it lacks the wow-effect. Something in this picture makes it look magical. All the difference betwen the look of “king lion” by disney and a homemade low budget cartoon by the guy next door. I hope you can catch what i try to mean?
Thank you

Many thanks. Definition is the key. I personnally have learned to use precomp, well, like a machine. Yesterday my 12 years old brother came in my room and asked me why i precomposed that layer, i was unable to give him the answer, that’s were i recognized there was a problem, how come i can’t answer the “why”, while i know thw “how”.

Thank you Will, i can tell you are experienced in this field indeed. Whether music has lost its soul or all this is just another paradigm shift (a normal process in civilizations) is a big question, out of the interest of a forum like this. I can imagine 500 years ago music was a matter of real performers with natural instruments, in regard of that the musicians in the 60s, 70s, 80s themselves are “cheating” already. It all depend on the reference.
I will have a technical question if you don’t mind. Can one create some beats with computer only, without actualy using the sequencers or drum machines? If yes, how?
Also, do you know some ressources that can help me create jinglers quickly? (i will run an internet-radio very soon so i will need these stuffs). Finaly how can i use a tool like adobe audition in that process?
Again thank you

Ken Zukin said: “Cinematography is a craft, and it takes years to develop the skillset necessary to do the job”.
This is true, but its a pity it is still so. I was hoping that the sum of all these knowledges some craftmen have accumulated over the year could be rendered one day as simple tools for mister everybody to exploit easily.
20 years ago you needed to type complex codes to just start a program in a computer or to get it make a simple calculations. Computer was reserved exclusively for those who learned in years. Today, thanks to windows and other conviviality-oriented tools computing is at the level of anyone even my grandmother can use one to send me emails and manage her banking. Everything is just a matter of clicking. Thank god someone invented the mouse. Good thing people like Bill Gates came in the game, or we would still be under the reign of nerdz who would keep the mystification. Just visit some of these forums, specially the open-source philosophers, you would end-up beleiving one day you would never know anything.
Someone has to do something one day so that filmmaking quits being a thing for the craftmen only. First step in that would be to get the craftsmen speak plain english so everybody can understand. What does it profit this boom of new technologies that mushroom out here and there everyday if it is not usable by any pretender? I thought today only creativity would be the limit, but unfortunatly it’s still all technicality.
Those who invented the microwave have helped many people finally cook food to eat, this is the essential. Or we would all be forced to suscribe to the next MacDonal to get some food fast. How many people are now able to do egg rolls that thought only chineses masters could years ago?
When shall tools be available so people could make films without “years of learning”?
In medecine everyone is now able to know the basics of headache reliefs…without consulting a doctor. Medecine has done much to come close to the large public. Why not filmaking? Sure we are not expecting the next door neighbor to make heart surgery.
Let’s all work to bring knowledge to the simple but not mystify them. Imagine the dream of filmaking becoming as trivial as running a computer today 🙂

“Or have I got the the wrong end of the stick?”
You got me perfectly right, thank you for your help. I have tried the solution but it doesnt work as perfectly as the header there yet, maybe i need more tweaking and practices to reach the savoir-faire level of these guys lol.
Again thank you
