When looking at how film makers would prioritise certain ways of animation, it is interesting to look at Wes Anderson's approach to his stop-motion feature films. A source says that 'Most baffling for the animators and puppet makers alike was Anderson’s insistence on naiveté... He instead wanted viewers to notice and embrace the medium of stop-motion itself.' Although the applications of animation have massively expanded in the 21st Century, Anderson would still choose to have an audience recognise stop-motion as a medium through small details like tiny jolts between frames or seeing the sets as something hand made. Another source somewhat agrees with this opinion, saying that 'traditional animation and computer animation should exist side by side.' This recognises the same ideals as Wes Anderson in believing that despite all the advancements in things like computer generated animation, the old methods used can have a better effect. This differs from Pixar's style of animation because they are very much pioneers in creating new and effective ways of animating. As This picture shows, Pixar's methods are so refined, they can computer generate each hair on a character.With these two different styles, the benefits of both exploring new ways of animation and using old techniques have their benefits. With these two different styles, the benefits of both exploring new ways of animation and using old techniques have their benefits.
