Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Only high-art type animations are hand-drawn now. Teams of huge numbers of skilled artists would draw the great (early) Disney animations. The costs would be astronomical now. In fact, if you look at the last drawn Disney animations the standard of artwork is way below the 30's to 50's stuff. Look at the changing facial expressions, moving shadows etc on the early stuff. It's amazing. Check the later stuff...crude by comparison. Often just two characters move at a time. CGI scenes are easy and quick by comparison. A character is modelled once, assigned to a moving 'armature' (like a skeleton, all jointed) and various advanced 'dynamics' are applied to the armature...it moves! The first CGI stuff was incredibly expensive. Few people had the software skills, there was still a lot of manual input, and those who could do it commanded a huge fee. But now plenty can do it, and it's far cheaper. Personally I think it's a shame that hand animation is a lost art. Still, look at great cinema, shot on film. Nobody knew quite what they were getting at the time, you couldn't 'live view' like digital media or videotape. They were done with technique and feel. All looks a bit 'shot from the hip' and disposable now by comparison. On the other hand, Eisenstein couldn't have made a movie like 'Avatar'!! And there are some abysmal movies shot on film. There's always room for the best. Any help? I shoot pics (stills) and there was a sort of buzz you got using film...you couldn't review the results at the time like a DSLR does. Technique was king. 36 shots on a roll. Now I (like most!) fire off hundreds a session, 8 frames per second bursts...and sort the good ones out later. Sometimes feel like a chimp could do it these days! Must be getting nostalgic....?
