>>112044774>pure artistic skill levelIf you want to get right down to it, an animator needs four major skills:
- translate what they imagine into drawings (draftsmanship)
- time motion for drawing frames (animation timing)
- study life and incorporate that into drawings and timing (gesture drawing and expressive animation)
- being able to entertain (a bunch of different skills, but we'll lump them into one)
That's what makes a great animator on a "pure artistic skill level"
It's not apparent that Bob Camp is consistently good at this. Everybody has good and bad works, Tartakovsky too, but to be great you need consistency. Like M Night Shyamalan, he made a couple of great movies then faded into mediocrity. Greatest filmmaker of all time? Probably not. Good filmmaker? Sure.
