Traditional Animation Research
"Traditional animation, sometimes referred to as cel animation, is one of the older forms of animation, in it the animator draws every frame to create the animation sequence. Just like they used to do in the old days of Disney. If you’ve ever had one of those flip-books when you were a kid, you’ll know what I mean. Sequential drawings screened quickly one after another create the illusion of movement."

"3D is everywhere, employed at every available opportunity. I'm not referring to animated films in 3D, rather the basic 3D used in advertising: TV broadcast design, music videos, basically, everywhere in the motion design world. It has never been so easy to create something in 3D, even more so after the popularization of easy to use professional software such as Cinema 4D, and their associated tutorials. You only have to look at youtube where thousands of teenagers upload logos to identify their gaming parties, bursting out in 3D."
"So, by what criteria do we now judge a good animation? By the true skill of animating. That which has been created by real manual keyframing, or by drawing frame by frame. Animations, which have not been created with click of a button or with the latest plugin that becomes popular."
"These animations are exceptional, uniques, and their value is derived from the skill that has gone into making them. In an era when everyone wants everything quickly, it is really worth taking your time to work on something in order to get a real quality in your animation. Precisely because this takes time, lots of time!"

"Since the1800’s, 2D Animation has existed as the standard form of creating animated films. It is also known by other popular names such as Classical Animation, CEL animation, or Hand Drawn animation. It is a number of different frames, followed by the other in a slightly different pose."

Other key ideas:
- Not as prevalent as 3D animation nowadays so more attention grabbing and unique
- More homemade and personal feeling
- Able to exaggerate characters more/add more emotion/add more expression
