They Animated the Piano Correctly!? (Soul from Disney Pixar)

As a 3D animation graduate, I can only imagine how tedious it was to get the timing right for each instrument (apparently they got the trombone right too). Metalacolypse and Coco had accurate guitar playing.

Hands (and by extension fingers) are the hardest thing to animate on the human body. It’s basically 10 (or 8 depending on the cartoon) extra limbs you have to keep track of.

They created new software to pull this off

Wonderful!

En este caso sería raro que animarán mal las teclas

Of course it was animated correctly. This is Pixar we're talking about!

they actually used programming to get the piano perfect in this movie.

Do the whole thing bro

Of course Soul got it right, they used Jon Baptiste as reference for the piano animations

I don’t think most people know how hard it is to animate

It's Disney! Of course they would go that far.

I mean, they literally created a new animation pipeline to animate hands to play the piano

i read somewhere that they hired an actual player, made them play, record their hands and then copy the recording exactly to make the animation

Why he sound like he busting a nut

Still waiting for the day. One of these turns out to be a rick roll.

If only the movie was good at all, possibly worst Pixar movie ever

they have to, they're pixar.

I heard that they made that film when real person play piano, and they record that and put it in movie

This just goes to show how much attention to detail Disney puts to their films

They better. We pay too much money for them not to provide the absolute best!

At least, that's my entitled take.
