One of my favorite facts about the motion capture is they they also tried to motion capture the mouths of the performers. And looking at comparisons between the performers and animation, they had pretty good tech. If they had time to fine tune their models a bit more, the show would probably have been more visually applauded. Season 2 did not use mocap, so that's an exception to everything, but season 1 should be acknowledged for the skillful execution of finicky technology. It's just a shame that their choreography was a bit goofy.
@10superpower
9 ай бұрын
I saw an upload of a full demo by the animation company that supplied the tech. The mouths are not mocapped, but actually is much different. The parts of the face (mouth, eyes, teeth, etc.) each have preprogrammed expressions, which are then used in tandem by a rigger. The tech is intended to be used to animate in real-time, so the face rig was a glove where the voice actors would flex their fingers to change expressions, while the body actor would have to predict what movement would match with the incoming inflection. I'm not sure if the show was also recorded this way, but the possibility is there.

This whole show is somehow both terrible and amazing at the same time. I kind of like it because of that. Every character is a literal idiot, the animation, while being very close to the original games, is objectively pretty bad, and some of the stories are just so bizarre. But at the same time the songs, especially ones by Donkey Kong, are catchy and surprisingly really good, despite some of the lyrics being laughably awful. That and it is legitimately funny to me, both ironically and un-ironically. It kind of reminds me of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog or The Super Mario Bros. Super Show; it’s objectively pretty bad, but you can tell whoever made it had a lot of fun doing so. And come on, that animation clearly inspired Xavier: Renegade Angle. 😂

Hi, hello, I notice this video is getting a lot more attention as of recently. So I thought I'd write this. I made this video when I was going through a phase where I would obsess over the DKC cartoon. I made several other videos like this, covering almost every other character (minus Candy, Cranky and a few one offs). I made a separate video for the DK songs that his speaking voice actor, Richard Yearwood, did. That's where songs like Our Love Is Stronger Than a Golden Banana and Treasure Rap are. I am not being ironic in even the slightest sense when I say that Sterling Jarvis is one of the greatest singers I've ever heard in my life, and it's a damn shame he didn't get much TV work outside of this cartoon. As far as my knowledge goes, he has appeared on OK KO to do a song there, and he also did the theme song for Zaboomafoo. FAQ: Where is Diddy Drop Rap? I excluded that song cause I just really don't like it, I think it's one of the worst in the show. Where is Monkey Business? I was peer pressured into putting it in the Richard Yearwood video cause I'm a dumb dumb.

I actually don't agree with you on the Diddy Drop Rap. I just looked it up, and it's unironically lit (thank you for bringing it to my attention). It definitely needs refinement, but I don't know how much of that is just because of the poor sound quality of the video itself. My only debate would be about whether rapping is actually singing or not. I'll consider it not, so that I don't consider the title of this video a lie. Anywhoo, nice vid, you must have worked hard to edit it together. Particularly those songs with a lot of alternating singers.

The music however is great and there are flavors of all the greatest times in music. If the Mario bros movie does any good, I would fully back a feature length Donkey Kong animated musical. Lmao
