I believe the answer lies somewhere in working out a mode of movement that is [[LawOfConservationOfDetail edited action]], just the way that the animals in WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}} and the dwarfs in [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]] were. An audience will accept any convention, any point of view, as long as it is carried out consistently. I think there is less chance of rejection by this approach than by that of stupidly trying to draw animation with all the complexity of live action. In the first place, [[ForegoneConclusion it can't be done]], and in the first place, why try to recreate the approach of the Hudson River School of painting? It fizzled out like a soggy firecracker. After the viewers marveled at a match head that looked as if it could be picked off the canvas or a torn envelope that uncannily simulated real life, [[AwesomeButImpractical they got bored with it.]]"\ |

| 8 | '''Nagahama:''' In live action, you are looking at actors. I like Iron Man, but when I first heard about the live action ''Film/IronMan'' movies I knew there was a risk. The person standing in the movie isn't Iron Man, but his actor, Creator/RobertDowneyJr You're watching Robert Downey Jr. act as Tony Stark. It's cool, but he is still depicting a character that only exists in the comic and not in real life. And the same applies to anime and manga. To depict fiction and connect it to our world, I decided rotoscoping was the way to go. Is it ideal? I don't know but I want to find out. I hope this answer is okay for you. |
