Animationacs

Yeah yeah, sue me for my bad pun later. Let's talk animation.

They have stop motion, computer animation, and good ol' fashion illustration.

Stop motion includes anything from Lego-mation to Clay-mation, but is always the most tedious of the three. Take a look for yourself if you don't believe me:



If you do not have respect for the people that made that masterpiece, you have no taste in anything. At all.

Computer animation, is, of course, what we're all familiar with. It ranges from simple cartoon shows to something as wonderful as a Pixar movie; they're all the same, because they're all managed by computers. It doesn't matter how intricate or not, they're all used by the same technology, which is rather wild. I don't feel the need to provide an example because I feel everyone is already so familiar with it, it'd be redundant.

Ah... Good ol' fashion illustration... My personal favorite, as it, along with clay-mation, so easily capture one's artistic ability. Sure, computer animation is art, but to what degree? It's not hands on, which is the only thing I don't like about it. The thing I love about illustration, is that no matter what, everything starts out with a piece of paper and a pencil. Unfortunately, thanks to all these fancy-smancy computers, it's rather overshadowed, and is not what it was once in it's prime. Take a look at my favorite illustration scene, from a movie everyone should be familiar with:



Done entirely by hand, no computer help whatsoever. Amazing, no?

Meh. That's my two cents; what're your opinions, if you have any?

Hand-drawing FTW. Some say it looks too amateur, but I think it looks like more thought and heart was put into it.

I completely agree.

Gotta go with computer animation, solely for Pixar and their brilliance.

So do I.

Cut-out animation.

Srsly.

I prefer hand drawn. So much more effort and detail went into actual animation cels.
