I meant...If I said animation was dying, I misspoke. I meant cartooning is dying. The art of satirical exaggerated drawing is being squashed. I'm not sure why, but if you look at the venues for being a cartoonist in the 20th century compared to today, you'll see why it's so hard to make a living as a cartoonist. Animation is doing fine, but draftsmanship has taken a huge hit and caricature is being systematically replaced by hyper realism. The cartooning roots are being progressively squeezed out to make animation more of a visual effect than the illusion of life. I'd love to see cartoonists take back their art form, move it forward, and not look to big companies to tell them what to make, but that would take a lot of hard work and sacrifice to build the business back up again.<br /><br />Hope that makes it clearer.Stephen Worthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047366337202801862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6394798570032291948.post-80539961163647649372015-11-10T13:45:44.865-08:002015-11-10T13:45:44.865-08:00Sorry to be off topic but I saw one of your facebo...Sorry to be off topic but I saw one of your facebook posts saying that "animation is a dying art form". I can somewhat agree in terms of film and television, but in terms of internet animation, there are many counterexamples:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqJQAgBPBSA<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PKNuZovuSw<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJlYGgSRguE<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OusTldqua1w<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXasCjUTNpE<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVo21dmbCY8Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
