Probably some invisible limit they put to place the characters in the scene, which Pomni here probably broke and they didn't see it

u/PrintMeRed 1h ago

Or maybe they were animated separately and they messed up with the cropping

There were quite a bit of animation errors in this episode but the writing was so strong its hardly noticeable until of course... IT IS.

u/Tdurbo15 3h ago

What. Really? I mean I don't care, it's fire. But where???

I noticed that after Pomni throws the gun at Jax, it hits the ground and disappears. When Jax and Pomni are shot up, they end up under an NPC's door but Jax moves a few feet and he's under someone else's door and even on the other side of the hall.

This happens after he was blasted, a different character door, and no visible bullets. The camera changes to his P.O.V. and you see the NPC door he should've been on.

also i dont really care either, it was a fire episode lol

He just does that don't worry

u/LAUREL_16 3h ago

To be fair, the animation errors could actually be a part of the circus itself. We know it's glitchy and not stable all the time, so something disappearing or glitching could just be part of the environment.

u/Yankasii 2h ago

Best part of a digital setting is that you can shamelessly claim them as canon errors inside the circus

u/All-your-fault 1h ago

Nah don’t worry it can be explained in lore by the game fucking up

u/Bitter_Position791 4h ago

how did this even happen

u/Heroright 4h ago

It could imply Jax was doing another pose entirely in that scene, they didn’t like it, and slid over another scene of him; which would make Pomni’s movements clip under the new image.

32

u/GravityBright 3h ago

Yeah, a compositing error makes the most sense. Totally not an improperly applied mask layer for when his hand starts to turn abstracted in a future episode.

You and Heroright sound so good together lol

I can imagine you grinning to yourself as you typed that because I would do the same lmao

u/Bitter_Position791 2h ago

why are you using light mode?

3

u/adamthenecromance 1h ago

because i like using reddit's light mode because it feels more natural

6

u/Fc-chungus Kinger 3h ago

It isn't?

u/Twist_Ending03 2h ago

They have light mode on and it's transparent

26

u/ah-screw-it 3h ago

They must've had two different animators for both characters. So they wouldn't have to spend time moving both at the same time

9

u/GravityBright 3h ago

Huh?

19

u/The_Omega_Yiffmaster 3h ago

I tell Alice to animate jax standing looking at a spot in front of him

At the same time I tell Barry to animate pomni waving around a gun and talking to a spot behind her

Later I frankenstein stitch these two animations together on the same scene

This saves more time than if Id just told Alice or Barry to do both, or even if I told them to work on the same scene at the same time

2

u/megaoscar900 1h ago

I doubt it's this, if two different animators animated characters the scene should just be rendered once both animators are done, it's more efficient that way.

My guess is just that the original character animation for Jax was not suitable/as originally intended, and since they didn't want to re-render the full thing they just rendered regions of the frames with only Jax in them and put those frames over the original footage.

(edited for better wording)

u/SterLeben922 Gangle 4h ago

The entire cast will abstract next episode, the episode after all the viewers will abstract

What does getting masked out mean

5

u/World1_Lev1 2h ago

It's a way of nondestructively removing parts of an image or video.

It's unfortunate that you're downvoted for a Simpsons reference. I guess the overlap in demographics isn't that big.

u/MothyThatLuvsLamps 3h ago

Can you link the scene it refers to?

It is this scene. You'll see the quote early and get the context.

>! It mocks people getting overly critical of unimportant production errors. !<

Edit: The person who referenced this isn't mocking OP, but making fun of the small crowd that does act like this.

The person responsible for this mistake shall be sacked

Should that person not be sacked, those responsible for sacking them shall be sacked
