Sour Grapes at the Crossroads
What’s an animator to do? Jib Jab vs. Spiderman 2. South Park vs. Shrek. Flash vs. RenderMan. If you get the picture, then maybe you’ve made your choice which picture pleases your eye best. Let’s face it, in the disposable Flash world, it’s the soundtrack that matters, not the high end visuals. I confess I’m conflicted. Back in the days when Terry Gilliam animated the Monty Python TV shows and movies, I took delight in his rule breaking collage animations. Terry now is disgusted by animation, and I sorta know what he means. – HG
