Description Sorry the bottom text is so small. Any larger and it wouldn't have fit. I made it as readable as I could, but then again I have pretty good vision so...

Traditional animators don't get enough credit for what they do. Flash and CGI have made things way too easy, and now even Disney has abandoned its 2D animation studio.

I'm not saying to get rid of what we have now, but traditional animation needs to make a comeback! I've even gotten into it myself. Unfortunately the way things are looking in the animation business, I'm sure it'll never get me anywhere. We may never see a 2D animation in theaters again.

That's why I support traditional animation. It was too good, and too admirable to let die.

2D is still out there. Films like Brother Bear were done 2D style. But I agree with you, all this new stuff in the animation world has made things way to easy! You might cry if you actually asked a pro how many times they've found out that newer animators can't even draw PAST a stick figure! I've even come across some that are lucky and privileged enough to work for studios say that they don't even LIKE art! *sigh* it's not like the old days, that's for sure.

Keep up with the learning too! Knowledge is never a useless thing - just look at how many game shows there are that require useless knowledge! lol

CGI is NOT easy.

Kind of ironic how this stamp wasn't animated traditionally. You could have done something pretty unique with that.

It was. It may not have been done on literal pen and paper, but it was drawn frame by frame by hand using a graphics tablet. The same way painting digitally is still painting. I saw a pretty detailed rant about this sort of thing once that I totally agreed with, in which the person in question had been chewed out by someone who claimed "You didn't paint that, the computer did it for you".

Nothing about this animation was automatically generated (Ex. tweening, morphing). Each frame was drawn by hand and then set to flip between each other just like if you had drawn it on real paper and made a flipbook out of it.

...Or there's also the chance that you're a troll who's just trying to be rude.

It's not the "creating each frame separately" that makes it "traditional". Using a tablet is hardly traditional. What I'm saying is it would've been really cool if you had used actual traditional methods, like drawing the frames on paper (or even the entire stamp) and animating it from that.

Well, guess I better get out my quill and sheet of papyrus then! No wait, a cave wall and some pigment!

I don't think there was ever a point in time where people animated using such mediums.

Made me lol nonetheless.
