Recently, a documentary called "Loving Vincent" has came to the public's attention. While it may not seem like much, these frames were animated traditionally...with paint. Over 5,000 people from all over the world applied for a position to work on this film, and only 100 were accepted. They went through rigorous training to emulate Van Gogh's signature painting style as they went through every frame. Everything needed to be precise from the colors to the proportions of everything so the animation could be fluid. Over 1,345 paintings were discarded after 6 years of creative development. 62,450 frames in oil paints were painted over the course of the project as well. I am impressed by the amount of effort went into this film. The artists faced heavy criticism with "doing unnecessary work that could be done on the computer", but I admire how the team continued onward as they wanted to dedicate this to Van Gogh. The website is http://lovingvincent.com/ and below are two videos which go into further detail about this documentary if you want to know more about it.
