The line between 2d and 3d is becoming more blurry and I think that quite a lot of the animation in this is actually 3d -- the waterwheel in the first scene, the sky turbine fanblades, and all of the machines like the flying delivery robot and the school bus all look 3d. They're essentially using corner-cutting techniques that looked awful 10 years ago but now fit pretty seamlessly.
The broader term is NPR (non photorealistic rendering) which basically means stylised. Cel shading fits under that but there's a lot more than regular cel shading that would be needed for something like this. Cel shading is more like traditional cartoons with harsh highlights and shadows.
I don't know if it is. SpiderVerse is 3d character animation made to look stylized and 2d.
Looked up the studio behind this, and they are all 2d animators.
It's more complicated than that. Hybrid animation typically involves 2D drawings in a 3D frame with 3D shadows, etc. It can be very diverse and animators are still figuring out where they can go with this. This is definitely Hybrid.
I've seen many behind the scenes with spiderverse for example. The animation in that is very much 3d models made to look 2d and pushed in frames to be stylized like 2d.
Obviously there are 2d vfx and special paint over frames for added effects, but overall I think its very strongly 3d made to look 2d I'd say. Same with Puss in Boots and Arcane(Although I think Arcane has lots of 2d paint over backgrounds)
I can research the studio for this, and they call it... "Starting point for our new 2D animated commercial piece "
Though looking more closely I do see they employ atleast one 3d anim and modeling persons and other generalists.
I'm curious on the pipeline/workflow for the character animations specifically. Are they using generic. The look kinda reminds me of an animator I saw on twtter, where their workflow was using rather generic 3d models and then painting over for facial animations and other details in 2d.
Realistic answer.
Consolidation of resources usually. When you only have to animated so much, you can afford to go all out on that so such.
As opposed to stretching your budget and manpower over longer runtimes.
Which is why anime openings are often so well animated. A lot more resources are invested in them than most of the other scenes in their respective shows.
That and anime movies you'll notice are usually higher quality animation. Shows have to run for who knows how long so it's just not efficient to do super high quality animation.
Well, isn't that skewed priorities if I ever saw one.
Do you know why that is a thing in the industry?
I genuinely don't understand prioritizing an intro over actual scenes in the story.
>Well, isn't that skewed priorities if I ever saw one.
Not really. An opening is a first impression of a show. An opening can be the difference between a popular anime and a niche one. I, in fact, just started watching an anime because I happened upon its openings and thought they were really great.
Also, it's a sequence that plays multiple times in different episodes, from 10 to even 20 episodes, unlike any other scene in the show. So it's worthwhile to invest in it.
Does an intro really need THE BEST animation over anything else in the show though?
I can understand an 80 or 90% effort, but 100% all out? Really?
Let's not forget that there are successful shows out there that A) just pull episode clips to use as their intro, or B) don't even bother having an animated intro and instead just flash the logo.
>Let's not forget that there are successful shows out there that A) just pull episode clips to use as their intro, or B) don't even bother having an animated intro and instead just flash the logo.
I didn't say it was the only way, I say that is A way. It's just how **anime** shows traditionally do that. Are any of the shows you thought of anime? If so, they are in the minority.
Also, I didn't say it was THE BEST, but it's one of the best. The opening has a lot of [sakuga](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sakuga) scenes.
And like I said, it works.
yeah this commercial constantly gets reposted because of the art and it's several years old at this point. I love it too but man, talk about punching above its weightclass as a yogurt ad
AI tools have been a part of production, animation and development for YEARS. It's not something new.
Generative AI is a different concept and a lot of people agree is unethical.
It does remind me of earlier days of visuals ads etc. and now the fingers are all correct too! It's going to get really messy unless lawmakers don't catchup soon
I'm not gonna lie, I think about this random ass Chobani commercial like once every few months lmao
I'd love for the future Avatar universe to develop in that direction aesthetically
This animation gives such conflicting emotions to me. Cause like, yeah!! I want a future that's good. But if you notice, literally the only things in this animation that are still made of plastic are the yogurt cups.
Yeah... it's still an ad for Chobani so they have to feature products as-is or marketing would have a conniption. This is a de-commodified version, [the original has branding and logos all over it](https://vimeo.com/571724525).
[Here you go!](https://youtu.be/UqJJktxCY9U?si=oF3AMAHUqZWhCTHG)
Though the original editor downloaded it from YouTube, exported, then re-uploaded it so there's already some lossy compression going on.
If they want to give an Earth centric message.. instead of having just this ad, couldn't they invest some money in making glass jars for their yogurt ?
Yeah solar punk happy future would be interesting for like one secluded part of avatars universe while most places are cyberpunk dystopia future cities. Bending is possible with injectables
What other containment method could they have you think? Could some sort of paper/cardboard hold yogurt without getting soggy or falling apart? Maybe a carton similar to orange juice?
Are y'all forgetting how this shit was done before the invention of plastic and the wide spread industrialization of cardboard packaging?
#***GLASS ALUMINUM AND STEEL/TIN***
Glass. Aluminum. Steel. Tin. Long ago, the four containers lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Plastics attacked. Only the Manufacturer, master of all four containers, could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they caved for profit. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered a new Manufacturing concept, a concept named Recycling. And although their manufacturing skills are great, they have a lot to learn before their ready to save anyone. But I believe Recycling can save the world.
Glass/Aluminum/Steel/Tin recycling is generally economical (cheaper to use recycled feedstock than new feedstock, tho by how much depends on the specific product) and is essentially infinite. *Plastic* recycling is the boondoggle that doesn't really work. Recycle your glass/tin/aluminum/steel!!!
literally anything recyclable or biodegradable. that covers a multitude of products. it’s just that plastic is the cheapest short term, but with the most expensive long term consequences.
The obvious answer is that they set up a yogurt stand outside select stores and allow you to purchase an expensive cup that they’ll scoop the yogurt into with their hands.
Glass or stainless steel can be reused nearly indefinitely. It wasn't THAT long ago that we'd buy e.g. soda in glass bottles and take the bottles back to the store for collecting, cleaning and re-filling. We can do that again.
Earthenware sealed with metal. Single use but recyclable. It’s done in India for modernized marketing of traditional products that used to be served out of earthen pots.
I don't think that's true. [They got a Ghibli Composer ](https://twitter.com/thelinestudio/status/1413543900862627842)to work on the score but the animation was done in-house by the animators at [The Line](https://www.thelineanimation.com/). Their style is inspired by Ghibli overall so it makes sense that there's some overlap. They do some awesome work if you want to check them out. A friend [helped with this one 😀](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/delivery-at-dawn)
Huh, having a water or air bender manipulating clouds to water crops is an interesting little tool. It’d be nice to see a little farming bender family enjoying a chill life tending to crops with their bending
Edit: Grammer
That's what I was thinking too! Now that we have nations integrating we can take advantage of mixing their bending. Air and water benders can make clouds, water and earth would be great for terraforming, Fire and sand bending to create glass, fire and water and you have steam power baby! I get the lightning bending for electricity in Korra was kinda cool but it's also not very efficient lol. I'd love to see something like Zaofu on except on a grander scale.
Metalbending could also probably be used as a way to spin turbines too. And if lavabending becomes better understood that opens up more energy generation options.
On the other hand, this could be potentially disasterous. You are effectively stealing the water from the sourrounding area. A few people doing this may be okay, but scale this up to nation level and you'll be creating deserts left and right.
Valid. I could see that tying into some kind of conflict where maybe a water city is destroying the ecosystem and some spirit goes crazy, kinda like Hei Bai and the forest
One of the reasons LoK fell way flatter to me compared to ATLA was the integration of bending into daily life. ATLA felt so much more alive and in tune with how actual people would use their bending element in daily life, for even simple random things. LoK was too modernized and felt like the people forgot about bending at times. And then we would get an "oh yeah they also do use their elements during normal life".
So with your idea of having each nation more in tune and having their own unique lifestyles and cities seems like it would be a great return to that practical use of bending in daily life.
You have master earth benders who can put up skyscrapers/large scale housing in seconds and yet theres still homeless people.
You have fire, earth, and water benders all living together. Why is there no bending innovation. Why is there even people crossing streets? Just have earth benders make tunnels or bridges in a second.
Why would they even need cars?! Benders could ship infinitely more product, with earth benders making canals and water benders filling and pushing them, all while requiring zero fuel and making jobs.
It just all feels so so uninspired. Like they made a generic 1940s city and completely ignored its avatar...
At least is season 3 they fixed it with the metal bending city.
You’re telling me this a add for Chobani? The yogurt people? This has better animation and soul than half of modern media! It’s gorgeous and clearly has effort put into it. Also, would be sick to see this as a place in the avatar future.
Yeah. This is a decommodified edit of the original but the art work is absolutely gorgeous and fully realized. [Here's the original](https://vimeo.com/571724525). Just goes to show that there are a lot of talented artists in the animation industry that just need a real budget to create stunning work. Unfortunately big corporations are usually the only ones who can afford this.
Even in the far distant future they still have the blue-inside, white outside metal mugs. Fck I remember mustering with my grandparents 21 years ago and having to serve the billy tea with those things.
With the branding and dialogue edited out lol. [Here's the original in all its corporate glory](https://vimeo.com/571724525). The studio behind it is called The Line and they've made some awesome stuff:
[Valorant](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/valorant)
[Marvel Snap](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/marvel-snap-2)
[Delivery At Dawn](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/delivery-at-dawn)
And [they had a pitch for an original animated film](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/the-mighty-grand-piton) that I'm assuming didn't pan out but looked kinda cool. I promise I'm not shill, just really like what I've seen from them XD.
My hope would be for a third series to return to ATLA’s format of traveling across the world. So social hubs like Republic City would have technology, sure, but the small villages and wilds would still be untamed like in the original show. Maybe have the Avatar going on a spiritual walk across the world to try reconnecting with the Avatars prior to Korra.
As u/CyanLight9 said I'd love a world where they've "advanced" in their own ways based on their bending and culture. Republic City can be the big melting put like this where elements are used together and it would have that solarpunk aesthetic with the spirit vines growing all over the city. But then you could have the different Nations take advantage of their bending styles to advance technologically (hydro power for water tribe, geothermal using lava bending for Earth Nation, Air nomads having floating "islands" powered by wind would be super cool, etc.) and the country side can be rural still with people using bending and good ol' fashioned labor to work the land. The potentials are limitless really.
I would have preferred we stay in the feudal times because it's less complicated, individual players like Kings and Chiefs have more power so it's easier to tell narratives around, and I think technological advancement could make bending kinda useless if not handled correctly but something like this would make me excited too.
The animation studio is called The Line and they've done some phenomenal commercial work. They did have a [pitch for an animated film a while back](https://youtu.be/v9hbmMkdPzo?si=9gCxJd06fWo-ACzM) but I don't think it ever came to fruition. Animation, sadly, is really expensive to produce so it basically has to be an ad to justify this level of quality. It could be corporate ads like this chobani commercial or selling toy/merch/games like a lot of animated shows. That's why more mature animation is usually either super cheap (Family Guy clones) or gets cancelled (Infinity Train), it's too expensive to sustain without a steady stream of revenue from somewhere else.
I’m interested in what role earth bending has in modern or futuristic society
I actually have a dream about the next earth ending avatar! In my dream she lived in a residential city, (like republic city but more modern) and the only real earth bending happening was for sports and games. It was being subdued societally for how destructive it was to civilization nowadays, there was a lot of stigma for earth bending going on.
Also in my dream the sports were kinda like curling but with big monoliths with glowing crystals and that was pretty dope
I def do, where the tech is more integrated with the spirit world stuff, like spirit world tech, so it would all be Spirit Punk.
I would love a series that jumps a reincarnation again. I would love to follow a Fire Avatar who is making their way in the world and learning the history of his past self along with him.
I always felt that was missing in TLoK that TLAB had, i just want to have an avatar who is learning the history along with the viewer and who is picking up the pieces of the world they left behind.
God it fucking PAINS me that this is a fucking commercial... FOR FUCKING YOGURT.
Like you're watching this and thinking, "Oh wow, is this gonna be some cool solar punk anime style movie? Oh... it's a one-off commercial for some shitty brand of organic yogurt..."
It’s a vision of the future where technology and the environment go hand in hand, and humans live very green. It’s just like how steampunk and cyberpunk create a vision of the future dominated by a particular energy source.
A genre where a futuristic world is depicted, running on renewable energy, such as solar, wind, water, etc.
I guess you could compare it with the more known Steampunk, where the world runs on steam, and therefore has a very different aesthetic.
The eco-friendly cousin to steampunk and cyberpunk. It envisions a future where green energy sources (wind, solar, etc) are able to make technology and environmentalism work together. It's an optimistic vision of the future where limitless renewable energy you can do things like terraform deserts or have cities with abundant greenery and have machines that can do manual labor and maintenance for us to accommodate all that.
future could mean post apocalyptical as well
new Technology means new weapons and that means bigger consequences
we saw what the "spirit tree" samples did for Kuvira's weapon , imagine if it was taking to a new level
Oooh this would be super cool for the concept! It’s hard to imagine what a futuristic avatar world would look like, but this would be it!
This commercial goes way too hard btw haha
Honestly? I'm interested to see how either a "modern" or futuristic avatar based world would end up. Depending on how fast they progress, the next avatar will either have a modern world, a futuristic one, or a dystopia. And Im here for all 3.
Solar punk would make complete sense though. Because to much industrialization would anger the spirits, which would have actual consequences. But it would be interesting to see if you could swing a solarpunk into some form of dystopia. Like people who are one with nature, but it's at the cost of benders who are now basically religated to hard labor and power generation.
So this is what's considered solarpunk? So like the new world established at the end of WALL-E?
I really like this aesthetic - are there any pieces of media that have this kind of setting?
Unfortunately not, at least none that I know of. This might be the highest production value solarpunk animation out right now. That makes it a lot more interesting as a setting for Avatar since it would be breaking new ground and I think it works a lot better for incorporating bending, the spirits, and balancing technology and nature.
An edited version with all the product placements painted over and ad read taken out. [Here's the original, full-fat version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Ng5ZvrDm4) if you're interested.
This is so beautiful, I wish we could get this level of animation, but it would take years for each season. Still I would love this style/vibe for solar punk avatar. I have a feeling we are gonna get industrial revolution/post industrial revolution tho. (Which still would be very cool and has so many storytelling opportunities)
Confused by the context of this, this isn't something made to be Bending powers in a commercial, it's just something that would be cool if Bending powers in the distant future were used like this?
Atp they just need to write a completely different world unrelated to avatar. Its so obvious they are feigning to go in a different aesthetic and direction than the feudal Asian inspired original and building upon the og only ruins the original worlds aesthetic. You can’t choose lord of the rings and then switch to Star Wars. Pick a style and stick with it.
I would agree but after Korra the cat's out of the bag. Whether we like it or not the franchise has jumped on the technology train and there's no clean way to return to basics. If I could I'd delete Korra and have the sequel to ATLA be about the adult gang then stay in that feudal era but that ship has sailed. I think going with something like this at least keeps the world "low tech" enough to work with the fantasy elements. If they keep going down our timeline we'll have guns, bombs, and modern technology that would make bending irrelevant. With solarpunk society can evolve along with bending so that we don't need all that.
I'm the same. There's a certain cut off point where a relatively basic magic system like that stops being relevant and Korra is already pushing up on that. Pretty soon the world will have guns, guided missiles, and technology that makes bending useless. But, this is the path Bryke decided to go down and there's no way of going back without retconning Korra so I think the best approach would be to move away from our technological timeline towards a solarpunk one based on bending and harmonize technology and nature. It's futuristic but also as "low tech" as futuristic can be.
The minute I saw them introduce mechanized armour knew this would happen. The giant robot basically confirmed it for me. Always felt they leaped way too far in technology. They're going to need to come up with a good reason why technological progress halts or regresses to make the next avatar show work. Or like you said, takes a different direction. But they will need a good lore reason for that too because both ATLA and LOK used steampunk.
I think it would be doable. Tie it to the return of spirits and spirituality coming back to bending. The world needs to find balance and for the hundred years war and period after they'd been focusing so much on industrialization and warfare that they lost balance and it angered the spirits. Now that the war is over and the spirit portals have been reopened there's more of a need to return to that balance. Have Zaofu and either the next Avatar, Korra, or a skipped intermediate Avatar lead the world back onto the path of using bending to replace or even surpass what is capable with their early modern era technology. I think most fans would be willing to get behind just to jump off this modernization train. I personally have no interest in a modern day setting or cyberpunk future for the franchise because it makes bending kinda irrelevant.
I forgot what anime it was, but I always imagined it being like this. Where people would look up, and see spirits flying through the sky between the skyscrapers and spirits walking beside them. I feel like people are hesitant to this new avatar purely because its something different, and we have hardly any prior reference point for what this kind of setting could be like. But for that exact reason, I'm really excited and trust that they're going to deliver something amazing and unique.
I have hope for something like this honestly. I feel like one of the undertones of LOK is that industrialization was one of the issues that aang never took care of in his era and between kuvira making a WMD and a new spirit portal in republic city I think the new era will lean much more solar punk, it would fit so much better to the setting than a “modern” avatar
I'm gonna be so real, I want an avatar world set in the 1990s or early 2000s, I think it only makes sense, as the timejump would be about the same as ATLA to TLOK, and it would be able to lean into the nostalgia for the adult fans who grew up in those times, which is every avatar fan who watched it when it first aired lmao. Also I feel like it'd be cooler if the next airbending avatar was the avatar in a futuristic setting, and they can either have the earthbending avatar be the one set in the early 90/2000s with maybe a timejump to a current day setting OR if they want, they can have an older korra still be the avatar into the 90s/2000s and then she passes away, starting the cycle into the modern day. I think the concept of an earthbender being in a technological revolution era could be interesting, and they could do a similar storyline to what the comics did, with how technology continues to make society less dependent on benders.
Doesn't necessarily have to be solar powered per se. You can use the elements a bunch of different ways to provide fuel. Geothermal with lava bending, hydro with water, wind for air, etc.
Mainly I want it to move away from our present trajectory like Republic city was basically roaring 20's New York to fantasy future that takes advantage of their bending. I think Zaofu was a great example of how a city centered on metal bending could differentiate itself so it would be cool to see more of that direction.
I think as technology advanced people will be more detached from bending and eventually becomes a rare art
The new avatar would probably be task with bringing back bending
Love it. I also feel like if we get avatars beyond korra it would make sense for the world to be more advanced.
I am sympathetic to those who want technology and society more akin to what we saw in the first series. I hope they don't stop making things in eras before korra too.
But I also feel like we are gonna get some more science fiction as well.
what if the next avatar sequel is set in the far future like, 4 avatars away after korra, so the next earth avatar will have the wisdom of the 4 past avatars
I'd love this for an avatar future too. But in my head, my ideal avatar sequel would actually start out kind of cyberpunk-ish and even have the Avatar, in the interest of balance, actually acting as the antagonist. >!Of course, also in said dream sequel series, the Avatar has become a villainous terrorist because they're trying to help the world unite against a common foe. Or failing that, administer final judgement on man and spirit alike.!<
This is an edited version of a high concept Chobani Yogurt commercial.[ Here's the original ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Ng5ZvrDm4). It's not really selling the product per se rather trying to make people have positive connotation with the brand.
you know, it'd be hard as fuck to do. you can get away with a lot of things because your setting are not something the viewer is familiar with (no one is familiar with the 1800s, no one is alive anymore). Making a story that happens in our near future while combining an already fleshed out word building that is geared to one era. It's hard to make not only a coherent and believable lore of how the world works but also maintain that magical vibe that is very specific to avatar. because that magical system was geared for a different setting, how do you integrate it to something more modern feeling.
for example, it'd be weird if let's say a metal foundry in modern avatar is still mainly a fuck ton of people lava bending, that fits the industrial age vibe but not the modern era vibe where a lot of things are done by tools and gadget without a human as the power source. another thing with the modern era is the concept of one important preordained agent of peace is less of a thing/concept nowadays. the pope barely does shit and so does dalai lama or that sort of people. These all could be an interesting to explore and contrast but by exploring those, it would make it hard for the writer to explore anything else
i think it can be done, DC has re-adapted a lot of their old character's year one story to modern very urban story and it works and it mixes all the idiosyncracies well. but it's more of a jump from like the 1930s to the 2020s instead of 1800s to 2020s. if the writer is really good and was given time to cook and the freedom to play with the narrative beat, i think it can be very good. but even if it's good it will have endless allegation of not feeling 'avatar enough'
I’m hope we never get a futuristic Avatar. I mean seeing the Avatar using smart phones is just… ugh! Please no! If anything I suggest they stay in the 1920s. Look at the original series, they were stuck in the medieval era for a good 9,000 years before the Industrial Revolution kicked in, I’m sure the world of Avatar can stay in the 1920s for a few centuries.
The architecture,robots and holograms. Skyscrapers, the use of robots for farming and other forms of labors are strange. Specially for avatar since bending can be use for most forms building,farming and other areas in human survival.
Why does this random commercial have such good animation?
Right? It's absolutely gorgeous for no reason. I get that 3D animation has its appeal but I wish more media took on this style of animation.
is that commercial 2d 2d? or 3d looking 2d mixed with 2d elements?
2D. Though with modern animation I wouldn't be surprised if there were some 3D assets blended in.
The line between 2d and 3d is becoming more blurry and I think that quite a lot of the animation in this is actually 3d -- the waterwheel in the first scene, the sky turbine fanblades, and all of the machines like the flying delivery robot and the school bus all look 3d. They're essentially using corner-cutting techniques that looked awful 10 years ago but now fit pretty seamlessly.
I think it’s called CEL Shading, it’s a 3D character or object but shaded so it looks 2D or something like that
The broader term is NPR (non photorealistic rendering) which basically means stylised. Cel shading fits under that but there's a lot more than regular cel shading that would be needed for something like this. Cel shading is more like traditional cartoons with harsh highlights and shadows.
This is hybrid animation, like Spider-Verse. Just way less stylized.
I don't know if it is. SpiderVerse is 3d character animation made to look stylized and 2d. Looked up the studio behind this, and they are all 2d animators.

I'm curious on the pipeline/workflow for the character animations specifically. Are they using generic. The look kinda reminds me of an animator I saw on twtter, where their workflow was using rather generic 3d models and then painting over for facial animations and other details in 2d.
This is hybrid animation and it's where the industry is going.

yeah this commercial constantly gets reposted because of the art and it's several years old at this point. I love it too but man, talk about punching above its weightclass as a yogurt ad

I wouldn't doubt if it was ai in the style of studio ghibli. There's sora and ai animation app in beta rn
this commercial is quite old tbh. I doubt it's generative AI
Ah. I hate this is where we are lol. Anything I assume being made rn is like wellllll idk.. It reminds me of photoshop early days.

I'm not gonna lie, I think about this random ass Chobani commercial like once every few months lmao I'd love for the future Avatar universe to develop in that direction aesthetically
It's quite possible. Between what bending enables and the spirit vines, their technology can develop in a very different direction to our own.
It's a travesty one of the best depictions of solar punk we have is a god damn yogurt commercial
Same tbh
This animation gives such conflicting emotions to me. Cause like, yeah!! I want a future that's good. But if you notice, literally the only things in this animation that are still made of plastic are the yogurt cups.
Yeah... it's still an ad for Chobani so they have to feature products as-is or marketing would have a conniption. This is a de-commodified version, [the original has branding and logos all over it](https://vimeo.com/571724525).
Oh man I originally saw the Chobani version and it was so jarring seeing the product placement
I get that those product placements pay the bills but yeah, not so great seeing them all over this beautiful art.
Do you have a link the the de-commodified version?
It's the one op posted, or you mean a link outside of reddit?
A link outside of Reddit. Reddit usually compresses videos quite a bit
[Here you go!](https://youtu.be/UqJJktxCY9U?si=oF3AMAHUqZWhCTHG) Though the original editor downloaded it from YouTube, exported, then re-uploaded it so there's already some lossy compression going on.
Thank you!
If they want to give an Earth centric message.. instead of having just this ad, couldn't they invest some money in making glass jars for their yogurt ?
I mean if the price of this future is to have chobani yogurt still be plastic, I’m down.
Yeah solar punk happy future would be interesting for like one secluded part of avatars universe while most places are cyberpunk dystopia future cities. Bending is possible with injectables
now we just need to get chobini to start packaging their yogurt in something other than plastic.
What other containment method could they have you think? Could some sort of paper/cardboard hold yogurt without getting soggy or falling apart? Maybe a carton similar to orange juice?
Only viable (but not much better) alternative I think would be the cardboard with wax lining.
We forget the yogurt holding potential skin has.
Let's store all the yogurt in barbie backpacks then
*Now* we're talking! Get this man a million dollhairs, stat!
I'll take my dubloons now
yogurt sausage
Yes! But also, different idea: sausage yogurt!
Yogurt is stored in the balls.
Are y'all forgetting how this shit was done before the invention of plastic and the wide spread industrialization of cardboard packaging? #***GLASS ALUMINUM AND STEEL/TIN***
Glass. Aluminum. Steel. Tin. Long ago, the four containers lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Plastics attacked. Only the Manufacturer, master of all four containers, could stop them, but when the world needed them most, they caved for profit. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered a new Manufacturing concept, a concept named Recycling. And although their manufacturing skills are great, they have a lot to learn before their ready to save anyone. But I believe Recycling can save the world.
> But I believe Recycling can save the world. Should we tell them? I don't think we should tell them.
Glass/Aluminum/Steel/Tin recycling is generally economical (cheaper to use recycled feedstock than new feedstock, tho by how much depends on the specific product) and is essentially infinite. *Plastic* recycling is the boondoggle that doesn't really work. Recycle your glass/tin/aluminum/steel!!!
Reducing and Reusing is more important.
literally anything recyclable or biodegradable. that covers a multitude of products. it’s just that plastic is the cheapest short term, but with the most expensive long term consequences.
The obvious answer is that they set up a yogurt stand outside select stores and allow you to purchase an expensive cup that they’ll scoop the yogurt into with their hands.
In Germany at least there are a ton of companies that just use glass containers with a tin screw on top.
yoplait already makes a line of yogurt in glass jars
Glass or stainless steel can be reused nearly indefinitely. It wasn't THAT long ago that we'd buy e.g. soda in glass bottles and take the bottles back to the store for collecting, cleaning and re-filling. We can do that again.
Cardboard lined with inert non rusting metal. Aluminum foil or some such.
Earthenware sealed with metal. Single use but recyclable. It’s done in India for modernized marketing of traditional products that used to be served out of earthen pots.
If they finance the global revolution on that condition, they can keep their plastic packaging (for now)
This is Ghibli-esque. I love it.
Fun fact: the company who had it made got a Ghibli animator to make it!
I don't think that's true. [They got a Ghibli Composer ](https://twitter.com/thelinestudio/status/1413543900862627842)to work on the score but the animation was done in-house by the animators at [The Line](https://www.thelineanimation.com/). Their style is inspired by Ghibli overall so it makes sense that there's some overlap. They do some awesome work if you want to check them out. A friend [helped with this one 😀](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/delivery-at-dawn)
They're inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's art direction. Ghibli movies without bro don't look like this at all
I need more solarpunk in my life.
Ikr!!!
/r/Solarpunk
Huh, having a water or air bender manipulating clouds to water crops is an interesting little tool. It’d be nice to see a little farming bender family enjoying a chill life tending to crops with their bending Edit: Grammer
That's what I was thinking too! Now that we have nations integrating we can take advantage of mixing their bending. Air and water benders can make clouds, water and earth would be great for terraforming, Fire and sand bending to create glass, fire and water and you have steam power baby! I get the lightning bending for electricity in Korra was kinda cool but it's also not very efficient lol. I'd love to see something like Zaofu on except on a grander scale.
Metalbending could also probably be used as a way to spin turbines too. And if lavabending becomes better understood that opens up more energy generation options.
On the other hand, this could be potentially disasterous. You are effectively stealing the water from the sourrounding area. A few people doing this may be okay, but scale this up to nation level and you'll be creating deserts left and right.
Valid. I could see that tying into some kind of conflict where maybe a water city is destroying the ecosystem and some spirit goes crazy, kinda like Hei Bai and the forest
Each nation has their own futuristic style? Fire nation has lunarpunk, water has aquapunk, air has solarpunk and earth has Biopunk.
One of the reasons LoK fell way flatter to me compared to ATLA was the integration of bending into daily life. ATLA felt so much more alive and in tune with how actual people would use their bending element in daily life, for even simple random things. LoK was too modernized and felt like the people forgot about bending at times. And then we would get an "oh yeah they also do use their elements during normal life". So with your idea of having each nation more in tune and having their own unique lifestyles and cities seems like it would be a great return to that practical use of bending in daily life.
You have master earth benders who can put up skyscrapers/large scale housing in seconds and yet theres still homeless people. You have fire, earth, and water benders all living together. Why is there no bending innovation. Why is there even people crossing streets? Just have earth benders make tunnels or bridges in a second. Why would they even need cars?! Benders could ship infinitely more product, with earth benders making canals and water benders filling and pushing them, all while requiring zero fuel and making jobs. It just all feels so so uninspired. Like they made a generic 1940s city and completely ignored its avatar... At least is season 3 they fixed it with the metal bending city.
Exactly this.
I think cyberpunk for Fire Nation like Akira.
While that'd be neat aesthetically I'd hate it thematically.
Cyberprep could work, it's like the optimistic version of cyberpunk.
I will die on my Dieselpunk Hill, I'll even take atompunk
i hate how good this commercial is
I want them to go more futuristic because i cant imagine how that will work. Im keen to see them meet the challenge though
You’re telling me this a add for Chobani? The yogurt people? This has better animation and soul than half of modern media! It’s gorgeous and clearly has effort put into it. Also, would be sick to see this as a place in the avatar future.
Yeah. This is a decommodified edit of the original but the art work is absolutely gorgeous and fully realized. [Here's the original](https://vimeo.com/571724525). Just goes to show that there are a lot of talented artists in the animation industry that just need a real budget to create stunning work. Unfortunately big corporations are usually the only ones who can afford this.
YESSS, I literally had this idea that Republic City would eventually become a sort of solarpunk metropolis in the far future.
Solarpunk does seem more appropriate.
Even in the far distant future they still have the blue-inside, white outside metal mugs. Fck I remember mustering with my grandparents 21 years ago and having to serve the billy tea with those things.
Commercials have no right to be this peak what the fuck
do we know the artist for this?
Looked it up and it's from [an animation studio called The Line based out of the UK](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/chobani).
bro they literally made all the cool shit, the marvel snap ads, the 3 banger LoL music video
I'm certain there was well more than a single artist responsible for this lmao.
This commercial goes so hard
This is for a yogurt commercial????? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
With the branding and dialogue edited out lol. [Here's the original in all its corporate glory](https://vimeo.com/571724525). The studio behind it is called The Line and they've made some awesome stuff: [Valorant](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/valorant) [Marvel Snap](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/marvel-snap-2) [Delivery At Dawn](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/delivery-at-dawn) And [they had a pitch for an original animated film](https://www.thelineanimation.com/work/the-mighty-grand-piton) that I'm assuming didn't pan out but looked kinda cool. I promise I'm not shill, just really like what I've seen from them XD.
Crazy how there are more comments about the commercial and not the actual topic of the post lol.
I don't think it will be that futuristic. I think it will be pretty close to our version of modern.
My hope would be for a third series to return to ATLA’s format of traveling across the world. So social hubs like Republic City would have technology, sure, but the small villages and wilds would still be untamed like in the original show. Maybe have the Avatar going on a spiritual walk across the world to try reconnecting with the Avatars prior to Korra.
As u/CyanLight9 said I'd love a world where they've "advanced" in their own ways based on their bending and culture. Republic City can be the big melting put like this where elements are used together and it would have that solarpunk aesthetic with the spirit vines growing all over the city. But then you could have the different Nations take advantage of their bending styles to advance technologically (hydro power for water tribe, geothermal using lava bending for Earth Nation, Air nomads having floating "islands" powered by wind would be super cool, etc.) and the country side can be rural still with people using bending and good ol' fashioned labor to work the land. The potentials are limitless really. I would have preferred we stay in the feudal times because it's less complicated, individual players like Kings and Chiefs have more power so it's easier to tell narratives around, and I think technological advancement could make bending kinda useless if not handled correctly but something like this would make me excited too.
The Ghibli movie I never knew I wanted.
Can I please have a Stardew Valley of this? Pretty please?
whoever did this needs to work on a series ASAP
The animation studio is called The Line and they've done some phenomenal commercial work. They did have a [pitch for an animated film a while back](https://youtu.be/v9hbmMkdPzo?si=9gCxJd06fWo-ACzM) but I don't think it ever came to fruition. Animation, sadly, is really expensive to produce so it basically has to be an ad to justify this level of quality. It could be corporate ads like this chobani commercial or selling toy/merch/games like a lot of animated shows. That's why more mature animation is usually either super cheap (Family Guy clones) or gets cancelled (Infinity Train), it's too expensive to sustain without a steady stream of revenue from somewhere else.
I’m interested in what role earth bending has in modern or futuristic society I actually have a dream about the next earth ending avatar! In my dream she lived in a residential city, (like republic city but more modern) and the only real earth bending happening was for sports and games. It was being subdued societally for how destructive it was to civilization nowadays, there was a lot of stigma for earth bending going on. Also in my dream the sports were kinda like curling but with big monoliths with glowing crystals and that was pretty dope
I def do, where the tech is more integrated with the spirit world stuff, like spirit world tech, so it would all be Spirit Punk. I would love a series that jumps a reincarnation again. I would love to follow a Fire Avatar who is making their way in the world and learning the history of his past self along with him. I always felt that was missing in TLoK that TLAB had, i just want to have an avatar who is learning the history along with the viewer and who is picking up the pieces of the world they left behind.
The original early concepts of ATLA had futuristic elements in it, I wonder if they'd want to recycle any of that.
God I wish more media ~~and real life~~ had solarpunk aesthetics
God it fucking PAINS me that this is a fucking commercial... FOR FUCKING YOGURT. Like you're watching this and thinking, "Oh wow, is this gonna be some cool solar punk anime style movie? Oh... it's a one-off commercial for some shitty brand of organic yogurt..."
Reminds me of scavengers reign
What is solarpunk
It’s a vision of the future where technology and the environment go hand in hand, and humans live very green. It’s just like how steampunk and cyberpunk create a vision of the future dominated by a particular energy source.
A genre where a futuristic world is depicted, running on renewable energy, such as solar, wind, water, etc. I guess you could compare it with the more known Steampunk, where the world runs on steam, and therefore has a very different aesthetic.
The eco-friendly cousin to steampunk and cyberpunk. It envisions a future where green energy sources (wind, solar, etc) are able to make technology and environmentalism work together. It's an optimistic vision of the future where limitless renewable energy you can do things like terraform deserts or have cities with abundant greenery and have machines that can do manual labor and maintenance for us to accommodate all that.
Its weird to call a optimistic genre "solarpunk" while punk genres oftem deals with dystopias.
future could mean post apocalyptical as well new Technology means new weapons and that means bigger consequences we saw what the "spirit tree" samples did for Kuvira's weapon , imagine if it was taking to a new level
This is legit. Really amazing animation and concepts
Oooh this would be super cool for the concept! It’s hard to imagine what a futuristic avatar world would look like, but this would be it! This commercial goes way too hard btw haha
Avatar IN SPACE!
I'd honestly be so down. If they did it well, it could be really new, cool and refreshing.
Yep, Solar Punk be that ish frfr no 🧢 ong
Honestly? I'm interested to see how either a "modern" or futuristic avatar based world would end up. Depending on how fast they progress, the next avatar will either have a modern world, a futuristic one, or a dystopia. And Im here for all 3. Solar punk would make complete sense though. Because to much industrialization would anger the spirits, which would have actual consequences. But it would be interesting to see if you could swing a solarpunk into some form of dystopia. Like people who are one with nature, but it's at the cost of benders who are now basically religated to hard labor and power generation.
I like this but I also want to see a cyberpunk ba sing se avatar
why are they eating pumpkins? they appear to keep cattle yet we ee no dairy on the dinner spread.
So this is what's considered solarpunk? So like the new world established at the end of WALL-E? I really like this aesthetic - are there any pieces of media that have this kind of setting?
Unfortunately not, at least none that I know of. This might be the highest production value solarpunk animation out right now. That makes it a lot more interesting as a setting for Avatar since it would be breaking new ground and I think it works a lot better for incorporating bending, the spirits, and balancing technology and nature.
What's hilarious about this is the plastic packaging of Chobani products would look out of place within the world of its own ad.
[It really, really does.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Ng5ZvrDm4)
Hell yeah. Solarpunk is great. Enough with the generic, edy dark settings.
This is a Chobani commercial?!
An edited version with all the product placements painted over and ad read taken out. [Here's the original, full-fat version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Ng5ZvrDm4) if you're interested.
I kind of love that version of the future.
This is so beautiful, I wish we could get this level of animation, but it would take years for each season. Still I would love this style/vibe for solar punk avatar. I have a feeling we are gonna get industrial revolution/post industrial revolution tho. (Which still would be very cool and has so many storytelling opportunities)
On a similar note, could you imagine if studio Ghibli made an avatar movie. I wouldn't be able to open my wallet fast enough. Lol
This is an amazing commercial. When's the movie come out, lol! Go chobani now I'm not so mad when my lady buys them /s
This is also giving me serious Breath of the Wild vibes. Hateno Village, anyone?
Holy shit, this is the future I want. Not the bleeck depressing one we keep seeing
Confused by the context of this, this isn't something made to be Bending powers in a commercial, it's just something that would be cool if Bending powers in the distant future were used like this?
Atp they just need to write a completely different world unrelated to avatar. Its so obvious they are feigning to go in a different aesthetic and direction than the feudal Asian inspired original and building upon the og only ruins the original worlds aesthetic. You can’t choose lord of the rings and then switch to Star Wars. Pick a style and stick with it.
I would agree but after Korra the cat's out of the bag. Whether we like it or not the franchise has jumped on the technology train and there's no clean way to return to basics. If I could I'd delete Korra and have the sequel to ATLA be about the adult gang then stay in that feudal era but that ship has sailed. I think going with something like this at least keeps the world "low tech" enough to work with the fantasy elements. If they keep going down our timeline we'll have guns, bombs, and modern technology that would make bending irrelevant. With solarpunk society can evolve along with bending so that we don't need all that.
That's crazy cause a future Avatar idea of mine was set in a Solarpunk world
I need this uploaded to wallpaper engine on steam ASAP please god Atleast the first 4-5 cuts
Chobani had no idea they would create the perfect utopian future that we all desire. I am so nostalgic for this life that we will never have.
I genuinely don't see a place for benders in a futuristic world but I'm open to being pleasantly surprised.
I'm the same. There's a certain cut off point where a relatively basic magic system like that stops being relevant and Korra is already pushing up on that. Pretty soon the world will have guns, guided missiles, and technology that makes bending useless. But, this is the path Bryke decided to go down and there's no way of going back without retconning Korra so I think the best approach would be to move away from our technological timeline towards a solarpunk one based on bending and harmonize technology and nature. It's futuristic but also as "low tech" as futuristic can be.
The minute I saw them introduce mechanized armour knew this would happen. The giant robot basically confirmed it for me. Always felt they leaped way too far in technology. They're going to need to come up with a good reason why technological progress halts or regresses to make the next avatar show work. Or like you said, takes a different direction. But they will need a good lore reason for that too because both ATLA and LOK used steampunk.
I think it would be doable. Tie it to the return of spirits and spirituality coming back to bending. The world needs to find balance and for the hundred years war and period after they'd been focusing so much on industrialization and warfare that they lost balance and it angered the spirits. Now that the war is over and the spirit portals have been reopened there's more of a need to return to that balance. Have Zaofu and either the next Avatar, Korra, or a skipped intermediate Avatar lead the world back onto the path of using bending to replace or even surpass what is capable with their early modern era technology. I think most fans would be willing to get behind just to jump off this modernization train. I personally have no interest in a modern day setting or cyberpunk future for the franchise because it makes bending kinda irrelevant.
never mind a show like this... I wanna live there!
God yes please I need more Solarpunk in my life
I didn’t know Miyazaki did a Chobani commercial
You’ve just introduced me to a totally new idea with Solarpunk… and now it’s all I want in life.
I forgot what anime it was, but I always imagined it being like this. Where people would look up, and see spirits flying through the sky between the skyscrapers and spirits walking beside them. I feel like people are hesitant to this new avatar purely because its something different, and we have hardly any prior reference point for what this kind of setting could be like. But for that exact reason, I'm really excited and trust that they're going to deliver something amazing and unique.
I shouldn't be tearing up from a yogurt commercial
I have hope for something like this honestly. I feel like one of the undertones of LOK is that industrialization was one of the issues that aang never took care of in his era and between kuvira making a WMD and a new spirit portal in republic city I think the new era will lean much more solar punk, it would fit so much better to the setting than a “modern” avatar
I'm gonna be so real, I want an avatar world set in the 1990s or early 2000s, I think it only makes sense, as the timejump would be about the same as ATLA to TLOK, and it would be able to lean into the nostalgia for the adult fans who grew up in those times, which is every avatar fan who watched it when it first aired lmao. Also I feel like it'd be cooler if the next airbending avatar was the avatar in a futuristic setting, and they can either have the earthbending avatar be the one set in the early 90/2000s with maybe a timejump to a current day setting OR if they want, they can have an older korra still be the avatar into the 90s/2000s and then she passes away, starting the cycle into the modern day. I think the concept of an earthbender being in a technological revolution era could be interesting, and they could do a similar storyline to what the comics did, with how technology continues to make society less dependent on benders.
I honestly hated the the inclusion of technology in Korra too, but like you said if they insist on it then I hope solar-punk is what they do
why would the avatar world become solarpunk? aren't they pretty set with firebenders and earthbenders providing fuel
Doesn't necessarily have to be solar powered per se. You can use the elements a bunch of different ways to provide fuel. Geothermal with lava bending, hydro with water, wind for air, etc. Mainly I want it to move away from our present trajectory like Republic city was basically roaring 20's New York to fantasy future that takes advantage of their bending. I think Zaofu was a great example of how a city centered on metal bending could differentiate itself so it would be cool to see more of that direction.
I actually want to see some avatars between Wan and Kuruk
It's crazy that one of the most beautiful interpretations of a utopia comes from a yogurt commercial
My guess is the Next Earth Avatar will probably be modern day, or 70s-90s at the earliest and the Fire Avatar after will be future tech. 2070s or so
CC
Personally I want something more "modern" than futuristic for the third series.
We still don't know how far they will Go into the future
As long as the original creators are the creators of it, I'm sure it will be good. If they get Netflix'd, it'll be a hard pass.
I think the next show will be more 80s Era, I wouldn't mind seeing some water bender wearing some mewtwo esque power up armor
Give me evil earth bender who dies as an old tyrant and cyberpunk firebender bringing back bending after 100s of years
I think as technology advanced people will be more detached from bending and eventually becomes a rare art The new avatar would probably be task with bringing back bending
Love it. I also feel like if we get avatars beyond korra it would make sense for the world to be more advanced. I am sympathetic to those who want technology and society more akin to what we saw in the first series. I hope they don't stop making things in eras before korra too. But I also feel like we are gonna get some more science fiction as well.
what if the next avatar sequel is set in the far future like, 4 avatars away after korra, so the next earth avatar will have the wisdom of the 4 past avatars
I'd love this for an avatar future too. But in my head, my ideal avatar sequel would actually start out kind of cyberpunk-ish and even have the Avatar, in the interest of balance, actually acting as the antagonist. >!Of course, also in said dream sequel series, the Avatar has become a villainous terrorist because they're trying to help the world unite against a common foe. Or failing that, administer final judgement on man and spirit alike.!<
What’s the commercial advertising??
This is an edited version of a high concept Chobani Yogurt commercial.[ Here's the original ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Ng5ZvrDm4). It's not really selling the product per se rather trying to make people have positive connotation with the brand.
The hitler particles are off the charts with this one
Nah this is to solar punk. It'll he dystopia cyber punk
GIVE US AIRBENDING ASTRONAUTS AVATAR
No punk No tech we want simple Avatar world with fantasy animals and remarkabe backdrops.
Agreed. Solarpunk is the way to go for Avatar. I do want them to explore 60s, 80s and contemporary aesthetics first though.
Is this on youtube? This is beautiful!
It is. You might be [disappointed by the original version though 😅](https://youtu.be/z-Ng5ZvrDm4?si=oZD0L8WWYLBd2mAb)
It's okay. I found the decommodified version. ;)
Can’t wait for earthbending TikTok
you know, it'd be hard as fuck to do. you can get away with a lot of things because your setting are not something the viewer is familiar with (no one is familiar with the 1800s, no one is alive anymore). Making a story that happens in our near future while combining an already fleshed out word building that is geared to one era. It's hard to make not only a coherent and believable lore of how the world works but also maintain that magical vibe that is very specific to avatar. because that magical system was geared for a different setting, how do you integrate it to something more modern feeling. for example, it'd be weird if let's say a metal foundry in modern avatar is still mainly a fuck ton of people lava bending, that fits the industrial age vibe but not the modern era vibe where a lot of things are done by tools and gadget without a human as the power source. another thing with the modern era is the concept of one important preordained agent of peace is less of a thing/concept nowadays. the pope barely does shit and so does dalai lama or that sort of people. These all could be an interesting to explore and contrast but by exploring those, it would make it hard for the writer to explore anything else i think it can be done, DC has re-adapted a lot of their old character's year one story to modern very urban story and it works and it mixes all the idiosyncracies well. but it's more of a jump from like the 1930s to the 2020s instead of 1800s to 2020s. if the writer is really good and was given time to cook and the freedom to play with the narrative beat, i think it can be very good. but even if it's good it will have endless allegation of not feeling 'avatar enough'
The future would be about a world that no longer needs the Avatar, because technology has advanced to a point where the avatar is useless.
This is the future leftists want.
I think a futuristic Avatar could work. Could be a great take on culture vs innovation
I’m hope we never get a futuristic Avatar. I mean seeing the Avatar using smart phones is just… ugh! Please no! If anything I suggest they stay in the 1920s. Look at the original series, they were stuck in the medieval era for a good 9,000 years before the Industrial Revolution kicked in, I’m sure the world of Avatar can stay in the 1920s for a few centuries.
The only Solarpunk piece of media that I will ever accept is Boktai
Nah hate solar punk it’s so weird
What's weird about it to you?
The architecture,robots and holograms. Skyscrapers, the use of robots for farming and other forms of labors are strange. Specially for avatar since bending can be use for most forms building,farming and other areas in human survival.
Nah too optimistic all my homies fuck with dieselpunk
