  • I see, so it’s sort of a blend in that they’re no longer using paper and (i imagine, I’m not an animator) some sort of stop motion process, but doing the same thing with a tablet.

    That’s pretty cool. Still, as an animation consumer who is rather uneducated in the hows of animation, it seems like 3D animation could be done in a very similar way?

    I apologize though, I think I’m just being a pedant about what “hand drawn” means when the article seemed to be more of an argument pushing for 2D over 3D animation. As a consumer I think the concept of “hand drawn” is really cool, however whether computer aided or not, I think as long as the end result is a good animation with a good story, I’m happy in the end. And, I’ll say I’m happy to see 2D animation making a comeback!






  • This is coming from a place of ignorance, but are these “hand drawn” animations actually hand drawn or is this just a new way to say 2D animation? It was my impression that by now, even 2D things are put together mostly on a computer and not any more “hand drawn” than an initial sketch up of a 3D character. In other words, I find it hard to believe people are still using tracing paper to hand draw these movies frame by frame. I’m happy to be wrong here, though.
