Abstract:
For over a century, audiences of all ages have been entertained by the art of animation. However, the industry has shifted towards computer-generated animation, leading to a decline in traditional, hand-drawn animation. There is a unique opportunity for computational innovation with a novel approach to revitalizing traditional animation by focusing on its creative methods and production. Before implementing current computational techniques, we must start putting ourselves into the minds of imaginative animators to realize these techniques. Only then can we develop new tools designed to empower these artists, not ones designed to supplant them.
