Ah, yuk! All these shortcuts are making me sick..

PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE ANIMATORS:

Think, study, understand, draw, feel your characters.

You are NOT moving them around -

you are giving them LIFE.

[thmsrebel]

you are right!

but don´t forget...

time is money!!

and the most people are thinking so.

@liolev check out animators like egoraptor and Harry Partridge. Classic animation and animation software have a healthy medium. I've tried the toonboom method in flash CS3. It's horrible. I'm trying out frame by frame as soon as I'm done with my next animation.

@Flash8Bro I know just how you feel. I'm a fan of both 2D and 3D animation but I dislike the way many 3D characters look especially those done by the big animation studios. Its like they all got the idea that CG animated characters should look this way and they all are starting to look the same.

@liolev In some ways I actually prefer the Samurai Jack animation style which is essentially *all* shortcuts.

@rigomrtsfx I feel like every 3D animated character looks the same. some round head with no personality at ALL. kinda sucks. I mean everything looks like for example the characters in "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs".

I feel like 3D is sort of ruining animation in a way :(
