Animation

The "Notes on a Theory of Animation" reading is not working on the SilvaCine website, but I'll give a few of my opinions anyways.

Animation is on the rise.  It's cheap to do, the boundaries of settings are limitless, and it can be done using one or one hundred animators.  The possibilities are endless.

Norman McLaren said, "Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn."

 The limitations on movement is what brings a live-action film (on a limited budget) down.  Stunts and gore go right out the window along with craft-services.  With Animation these limitations don't exist.  The potential is endless.  If I had more physical knowledge of making animations I would do it in a heartbeat.
