Cels Forum

Okay, I've put it off (again) when I need research...
(sigh)  I'm so bad ^_-

Anyway, I need knowledgeable answers to these questions,
perferably through email (basically because I need to
quote "sources") but feel free to post here as well... I
just have no idea how to cite sources from forum-messages.

I'm doing on essay on "classical" animation methods (ie.
cel painting) vs. the "new animation technology" (ie. 
computer animation).  (Hey, they say to write what you
know when you're out of ideas...)  However, I know very
little / next to nothing about the methods for completing
a computer-animated movie.  Plus, I also need some input
about the cel-method of art.  Basically, my stand on the
issue (this has to be a "persuasive" essay) is that,
while computer animated methods may save time and money,
the speed at which the animation industry is shifting to
computer animation may be harmful in the long run (meaning
we may lose some real talent in switching so quickly to
the computer screen).

Again, I know very little about the methods use to animate
computer images, so please help!  (Questions are in the next
message since this is getting too long - also, please
try to reply by email if at all possible so I can cite
any useful information!)
