("The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" is one example.) As anarchic and surreal as could get, everything he did was rooted in a sense of where objects are in space, how they're modeled and how they move. <br /><br />What, me Luddite? Nah. My position has always been that animation created after "traditional" cell animation is a different artistic medium. (Or media.) Each variety of media its own inner logic. <br /><br />Short version: Traditional cell animation = living drawings. 3-D animation = digital puppetry. <br /><br />So, yeah, hypothetically, you could do what Clampett did with 3-D animation. But I think it'd be less charming. <br /><br />"I'm coming Beany Boy!"Marty Fugatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077693961075517845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345052541839184472.post-85128756555509236922010-08-09T06:28:34.121-07:002010-08-09T06:28:34.121-07:00Bob Clampett?

It's good to be a luddite. <br /><br />And now I have the Beany and Cecil jingle running around in the depths of my head.
