instruments are NEVER animated correctly…

The Tom & Jerry one is accurate because they apparently employed a classically trained pianist to play it for them so that they could get the animation 100% correct. Dedication to their art!

To be fair, just drawing the instruments is a pain in the ass and in most cases animators don't get enough time and money to learn how to animate them correctly.

the coraline one makes sense because it fits the narrative of everything being all nice and appealing on the surface but somethings not quite right underneath

“Instruments are NEVER animated correctly…” We all know this was true before clicking the video But then there’s also tom and jerry…

Imagine if someone was meant to animate a classical piece, but he actually animates a rick roll, so when someone makes a video on that scene, he gets rick rolled.

Thanks for the compliments on my hands xD

As an animator myself, I can tell you, 90% of the time it boils down to time and money. The other thing is that on television productions at least, animators often don't even have the final music to animate to. We often work with temporary music, and the final music tracks will be added in post production.

This is why, as a pianist, I love Your Lie in April. Literally everything is animated correctly and it’s beautiful

"why not just get it right?" I feel the same way about everything medical in movies/TV. It isn't that hard to hire a medical professional to advise the writers on proper technique and language and then to coach the actors through it on set. From laboring women screaming uncontrollably while pushing (if you are screaming like that you're not pushing effectively and women don't scream from the first contraction) to people waking up during CPR completely alert and oriented. If your heart stops or you don't breath for a period of time, you don't wake up suddenly alert and chatting. Most people need to be intubated on a vent for a period od time and require medications to stabilize their bp and heart rate - they don't wake up in the field. The most basic one is the EKG strip that shows a fatal heart beat. I see them used on TV news shows as the intro to a medical story, coffee cups, T shirts etc. A friend got a tattoo of a heart beat after surviving a heart attack and the rhythm is one he better pray he never has. With the interent it isn't that hard to find an example of a perfect heart beat. We all learn it in med/nursing school.

Animation is very hard especially with instruments because they are so complex. The animators need to be paid more if they need to study how instruments work and all the notes that need to be pressed (including proper form with a display of dynamics et cetera).

For the movie Soul they used Jon Batiste's hand motions and he's the one really playing, there's great extras on D+ showing them recording him.

As a representative of the talentless community, I can say that the animated part is our expectation, but the wrong playing is definitely our reality

Strangely, trombones should be the easiest brass instrument to draw, it's literally one tube with two bends. Yet the Family Guy manages to make it super complicated. The mouthpiece somehow bends around behind his ear!

Someone probably already said this, but Pixar usually animates the playing of instruments correctly. For Coco they actually got the close up shots of Miguel playing the guitar right. 😃😄😊

If it were any other gimmick, I'd be bored of it within a week, but I like these videos because I enjoy learning the little intricacies for each instrument they show.

Loved it when August popped up laughing at the beginning. Joel should keep making videos with August and Jonas :)

10:17 damn thats some of the coolest sounding trumpet solo ive ever heard :)

Shoutering in name of animators (myself and colleagues watching this), it's sometimes not a choice from animators to make it wrong or right, it just depends on time you have to animate it, what director wants to transmit and the money involved. There's animators who know how to play piano, drums and other instruments (like myself) who always try to explain to non musician diretors what notes should be played and bla bla bla, but they don't even care sometimes they just prefer to see the character face doing something or whatever... anyway, nice vid! Got some laughs here
