Daily Poll 69: Do you prefer Hand drawn or Computer generated animation?
The nicest poll yet… Animation is the art of using hundreds of still images and showing them in rapid succession to trick the brain into perceiving motion. Animation can be as simple as a bouncing ball animated with a stack of post its or as complex as a multi million dollar Pixar film rendered on a supercomputer. Animation these days is mostly generated by computers as opposed to having someone draw each frame by hand. My love of anime drives me to prefer hand drawn animation. I’ll take any Ghibli movie over even the best Pixar movies in terms of aesthetics. That is just me though; What do you guys think?

I like hand drawn animation better. While it’s true that a computer can render cleaner and smoother in-between drawings I’ve always thought of animation as a craft. It’s those little hiccups that make it feel like art to me.

agreed, there is something extra with hand made

Hand drawn. Hand drawn all day. I don’t think there’s a lot that can top those early 1940s Fleischer Superman Cartoons.

I greatly prefer hand drawn. Digital rendering has its place, but there’s something different and irreplaceable about knowing that what you are seeing was created by someone’s hands. This holds true for all artwork and even manufacturing. Hand made artwork and craftsmanship holds a certain value that machine built and digital products can’t quite replicate.
