Did this mainly because I wanted to. I wound up stopping the inbetween phase mostly on 4s, which is basically just 12FPS. It looked fine as-is, and I realized that the amount of work I had left to do would exponentially rise the higher up the framerate got. Putting 4s on 2s, and then 2s on 1s is an immense amount of work, especially for such a short video. So I called it before I’d have to spend an extra few dozens of hours working on inbetweens.
I think it came out fine, and I’m genuinely proud of the result. Just for fun, I also threw this animation through DAIN to see what it’d look like with AI interpolation, and it looked pretty awful.
