Ad Lucem by Ghislain Avrillon
The filmmaker , Ghislain Avrillon , writes of "Ad Lucem" :
"It is a traditional 2D animation (ie animated frame by frame by hand). In detail, I did not draw on paper but on a graphics tablet with TVPaint software, a powerful digital tool for traditional technique."

A paperless animation line test animated by Rasmus Norgaard using "Mirage" (aka "TVPaint v. 7.0" , the predecessor to the current version of TVPaint Animation) . This was animated with a Wacom Intous 3 tablet. It was originally posted on the old Mirage User forums.

Here's a progression reel showing a shot from the Alf Prøysen series from "pencil test" to final color . This is all paperless , made in TVPaint:

Rusty Mills is a classically trained animator who has been on the forefront of embracing the new paperless animation technology . Here are some scenes from Rusty's work-in-progress reel for a film he is making called "Gotcha Covered".
Rusty is animating this film on a Motion Computing tablet PC using Mirage.
(a previous version of TVPaint which is no longer available, but similar to the present TVPaint Animation).
He did most of this animation while commuting on the train into Los Angeles . Now that's a portable animation tool !

Notice how Rusty's rough animation looks virtually the same as traditional pencil-on-paper animation. There is no discernible difference in this that screams out "digital". The drawings look very natural and organic, like real pencil sketches.

"Rain Town" by Hiroyasu Inshida
"Rain Town" by Hiroyasu Inshida
(if you click through to the YouTube page I suggest switching it to 720p HD mode for better image quality)
The opening titles say:
"In this town, since who knows when, rain has never stopped.
Residents moved out to suburbs and high ground around
"rain town."People's memories are now deeply submerged.But into this forgotten rainy town
sometimes, someone wanders."
Graduation film by Hiroyasu Inshida made at Kyoto Seika University.

Saw this on CartoonBrew today:
And also on the TVP Animation Community Forum , where they report that the animation and coloring was done with TVP Animation:
It's interesting that for publicity purposes in the making-of video (above) they have taken steps to disguise the digital origins of the drawings by adding some fake "flipping paper" effects to the animation.
I think I understand why this is done for the general public consumption: the minute you tell non-animation people "we used a digital program to do the animation" many people have this crazy idea stuck in their head : "ah-ha, the computer does it all" , as if the someone simply types in a command and pushes a button , then the computer program animates the scene. Whereas people still understand that if something is hand-drawn an artist is responsible for creating it.
It is difficult for many people to grasp the idea that there can be hand-drawn animation made on a computer , which is virtually the same process as hand-drawn animation on paper, except the lines are drawn directly into a program like TVP Animation using a wacom tablet, instead of drawn on paper and scanned/photographed.

And also on the TVP Animation Community Forum , where they report that the animation and coloring was done with TVP Animation:
So the animation is actually hand-drawn, but paperless , drawn in TVP Animation using Wacom tablets. BG's were painted in Photoshop. (although they could have used TVP Animation to paint the fully-rendered BG's as well)
The director , Hans Jørgen Sandnes , writes:
Trailer for the television series:
Quote:
| "...based on the songs of famed Norwegian singer/songwriter Alf Prøysen (1914 – 1970). The series is hand-drawn, made in-house by me and my five collegues. The episodes are short “music-videos” following Prøysens original recordings. We’re very passionate about our work, trying to master the medium of traditional 2D animation.” |

| I'm so glad you're using this on the TVPaint page. Because, it's ALL sketched, animated and coloured in TVPaint. The backgrounds are PhotoShop, and the composite is in AppleMotion. We're working on the subject of painting the backgrounds in TVP as well. The composite is very minimal, and AppleMotion works great with FinalCut. http://barnas-ark.blogspot.com/2010/08/hos-oss.html Since others are so interested in our process, I will make a post on how we're working. I'll also include how the animation is actually done in the TVP software. I'll post it on your forum and my blog. Anyway, feel free to share this information : ) Looking forward to hear from you again! All the best, Hans |
As promised the lead animator/ director of this piece, Hans J. Sandnes has provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse at their work process using TVP Animation at his studio Sandnes Media.
He writes:
"We're a small team: an animator, an inbetweener, a background-artist, a compositor , and a producer. Using TVPaint means we're still making hundreds of unique drawings. We're sketching, erasing and re-doing drawings. But we don't have to spend time on scanning the drawings, numbering them, line-testing them and archiving them. In a way, TVPaint helps us doing what we like. And takes away the unnecessary steps.
Here's an in-depth look at how we do it. " :

On the TVP User Forum there were these details posted about the production:
In "Le Royaume", they partly animated on paper and scanned the drawings to TVP for coloring , but because of the lack of time (scanning, scan-clean, etc ... there is no high-speed batch scanner available for students at the Gobelins school.), they ended up animating the rest of the film directly into TVP Animation (with Wacom tablets) and were able to finish the project on time.
