A Modern Familiarity

All of us in this program are quite fascinated by cg, that’s why we are here. The games, movies, animations, etc., are amazing. One can’t help but be overwhelmed. But being a girl of the past, traditional animation still has a place in my heart. It was 2d that first introduced us to mimicking reality. Even when just done on pieces of papers, it still made us cry, laugh, emphatized with the main character and hate the antagonists. It was special, still is. I thought that eventually, such style of animations will be forgotten. Oh well, changes. However, things turned out differently. It appears that different film companies have been making animations that look like the traditional ones using these modern tools or programs. That is lovely, and i think, ironic at the same time. It’s like the pursuit of making the designs to seem more like of the real world which led to the development of these cg programs are now being use to create 2d style animations, the difference is that it’s better.
