"If i had to animate this id probably kill myself”: Users react to the insane attention to detail required in Animation

Animation is no child's play. Imagine having the patience to animate trivial details of something as simple as rice! Studio Ghibli managed to make the most basic food on the planet, look aesthetic. They convinced us to try the most unusual delicacy at some point.

Let's face it, nobody markets food better than animators. How long do you think it would take you to lose your sanity in the animation business?

Look at the grains! The animators must feel lucky to be God's favorite. The clean artboard with hyper-fixated detailing is enough to trigger one's appetite. Fans were awestruck by the effort and the dramatic breakdown speaks for it. Like what even sorcery is this?

Only for rice?

That's too much effort for a pan of rice, isn't it? Now that we look closely, if the rice deserved such intense attention, what about viral scenes or human characters?

Assigned a cooking show (via koiflanyuri/X)

Let's give it to the Japanese animators for not giving in to their intrusive thoughts. Their will to live has to be stronger than their inner demons. Unless they enjoy the work. But wait, finally someone who doesn't hate their job!

Can we use a filter? (via Eli_and_my_bros/X)

Best of luck getting fired on the worst day of your job! No AI edit or filter can have the same effect as a manually created animation video. Nonetheless, you can still try it for yourself.

Trust me bro (via a acoolrocket/X)

The director knew what was coming. There is no way he created such a fine piece of art accidentally! He wanted to give us some commendable content for Tumblr or Pinterest mood boards. How many had saved the GIFs for later reference?

I'm already depressed (via koiflanyuri/X)

Whether you're into process animation, or not, the detailed work can trigger some severe inferiority complex! I mean, there is no way this was done by a human! The amount of effort and time put into a single frame can make you never want to try your hands on animation.

One grain a day (via KAGURABA_CHI/X)

Pace is the key after all, so let's work on one grain in a day. It took Da Vince almost 16 years to paint the iconic Mona Lisa, so it's not surprising that a well-executed animation could involve a reasonably prolonged period.

Kudos to the animators and their undaunted patience, extraordinary skills, and magic fingers to create the most gorgeous frames. Their dedication might manipulate is into trying more unconventional food and regretting it!
