Animation, making the impossible possible

Oct 27 2009

One of the many aspects that i find extremely interesting about narraration via animation is the sheer fact that with annimation you can accomplish an absurd amount of seemingly impossible physical acts with inventiveness and artistic talent.  Not only does annimation provide a unique way of telling a story, but it provides it in a way that is unique to the genre.  Not only does annimation allow for the visualization of physical impossiblity, but it also creates new ways of depicting the same characters in order to portray different artistic styles or different aspects of that character.  The various artistic styles used by different artists also provide the viewer with different representations of the same character, perhaps getting to know their favorite characters in a way that they couldn't know them before. 

Annimation provides another aspects form which to admire the story from.  Instead of admiring the acting or the music as if it were a movie or a play, annimation provides the viewer with art to appreiciate as they watch the story unfold.  Annimation also allows for the viewer to step out of the story and view it more objectively. Because it is not in a format that most are used to, the world of the story is often viewed as one of fantasy, allowing the viewer to consider the story differently then any other narrative format.
