Is modernization killing “ANIMATION”?

Abstract

When we talk about Animation from an audience perspective it always comes to mind as something unnatural and unimaginable that really forces us to think about its existence. Whether to believe it or not it’s up to the knowledge grit of individuals. As far as the technology grips the power to represent the virtual world as original and natural as it should be. It’s about the technology which controls the output of imaginary and virtual co-existence and makes it feel original and lively. But on the contrary when we talk about animation from the production and artistic perspective or an individual artist’s view it is always as challenging as its making process. In the beginning of 20th century when Animation was flourishing its wings through the help of the masters and legends of industry in the west it has developed its own techniques from concept development to background painting, Animation, compositing and finally the most interesting and catchy element “Music”. Although these all are the basics of storytelling through animation or visual creation of an imaginary world. Over the years since its invention, it has been evolving throughout the generations. The technological research and development have changed its perspective of existence. Since entertainment is the basic tool of its resources, there is no doubt about the integrity of artists, film makers and investors who have taken animation to soaring heights. The limitless efforts of the modern filmmaking community are responsible too for its global outreach. Although the well flourished technique of Animation is facing a challenging era of modernization within and on an external basis. The technology and the demand for making things hyper realistic is somewhere affecting the animation as well.
