I Move, Therefore I am

Art vs Commerce

Whilst 3D animation may be the main method of animation, there is still traditional 2D and stop motion that are still used extensively in the industry. It's easy to see why less studios utilise this method as 3D has more tools to make it easier for the animators to get their work done more quickly and efficiently.

An interesting example of a range of styles used in one video would be 'Ryan' which shows an interview with Ryan Larkin before he died.


The incredible thing about this animation is how vibrant and expressive each part of the video is, even though it's an interview.


A real arty film that uses frame-by-frame animation over camera footage is 'A scanner darkly' which really jumps out at me as one of the most visually adventurous films of the modern era as the film could've quite easily been just filmed with cameras.
