Corrected entry: When Woody is talking to Forky on the road, Forky's arms move up and down his body between shots, by his head, then halfway down his body, then back by his head.
Corrected entry: When the stroller rolls out of the antique store and crashes into the railing, in the shot where the lady runs up to it, look at the attendant inside the ticket booth in the background. She is completely frozen, with no animation on her at all. (01:17:05)
Correction: This is simply wrong. The attendant can be seen moving and reacting to what’s going on.
You are likely referring to the shot before the stroller crashes into the railing. The attendant is moving there, but after the stroller crashes and the lady runs up to it, she becomes motionless.
Correction: When the lady runs up to the crashed baby carriage, in this shot the attendant in the booth in the background (seen in this specific shot for 2 seconds) you described as "motionless" and "frozen, with no animation on her at all." This attendant's stance and facial expression realistically convey shock at what has just happened, so she stands there staring with her eyes wide open and her mouth agape for the 2 seconds. Her animation is appropriate for this situation. There's really no mistake, and there's nothing revealing about it.
I suppose I put this mistake under the wrong category, but I never stated that the attendant doesn't react to what happened. You mentioned her stance and facial expression, and I agree with that. But here's the thing: the attendant is standing still, which is fine, but there is no movement to make her look... well, alive. As a result, she looks like a statue. It's an animation error. That's what I'm saying. If I'm still wrong, please explain why, because it really doesn't look right to me.
Within the 2 seconds this attendant is visible, she doesn't look like a statue; she just looks completely transfixed and shocked - perfectly appropriate for the moment. And actually, movement to make her look "alive" is unnecessary because for those 2 seconds she's seen, the fact that she's standing there transfixed, with her shocked expression, is quite human in this instance. Her animation does not appear odd or weird in any way, to me.
I mean, she still looks off to me, but fair enough, I suppose.
I watched this shot a few more times; it's starting to look a bit more natural. I guess with it being a 3D character model, it looked like there wasn't any sign of life with no motion added to her, hence my original thoughts. Despite all that, your argument about her just being appropriately transfixed and shocked is growing on me.
Correction: It's supposed to do that because they keep falling down as he walks and they mention that.
