… and the truth is, i think all animation is really painful and tedious and timeconsuming. there really are no shortcuts. there is not a “make art” button on a computer, and sometimes i think because few people understand how computers actually work, computer animators get the shaft because it’s assumed that they are these magic boxes that do everything for them, with no craft involved. but it seems computer animators are just as exhausted and sullen as us traditional animators, just in a different way.
