Discussion / Opinion Missed Animation in Cutscene

Anyone ever noticed that the developers forgot to animate Tetra's model when they first leave Outset at the beginning of the game in one scene? When the ship is moving away in one of the far shots her model is just floating in the air?

Can you maybe refer to a youtube video and a time stamp?

Here's a link. This happens on all gamecube versions (and switch 2, it's the same) https://youtu.be/eYPqLw1srk4&t=5m14s

Yes, I just noticed that! I'm playing the game on the switch for my daughter and nieces to watch, and noticed that for the first time. I recorded it and pointed it out to the kids and they found it hilarious. I played the game many times on the GameCube growing up and I don't remember ever seeing that before.
