I'm more intersted in 2D animations than any other so most of them should all be 2D however there might be a few defferent styles since 2D isn't the only style that inspires me.
If it's about viewing animations, I think I gain inspirations from both 3D aswel as 2D but what I would choose for myself to animate in is deffinatly 2D.
I really am a visual person so the visuals of an animation have much more of an impact on me than the story telling part of it eg. Avatar, (although 3D) I like that mainly for the visuals (and often gets looked at funny becuase of it) but I wouldn't care much at all had it have a different story to line.It also shows how far technology has come since 1995's Toy story which isn't that long to have gained such an improvement in the realism of the animations, characters and backgrounds.
However perfect detail doesn't always have a greater impression as sometimes it's best to leave some things quite simplistic and leaving parts up to the imagination of the viewer.
Cartoons such as the Road runner or Tom & Jerry have always have a great appeal to me as a child although I never knew what it was that I liked so much about it.
The exageration of poses and actions I really do find one of a kind in Tom & Jerry and have yet to enjoy any other animation as much as I do when looking at the creative and humorous part to the animation in Tom & Jerry and I believe that 3D can never have that effect that 2D can create.
eg. following vid
I truely believe that this episode would never look as good in 3D as it does in 2D. Even the exaggerated squashing and stretching could not be pulled of as well in 3D.
I'm not saying that 3D doesn't work because we all know it does but there are certain things 3D can never achieve that 2D can... and visa versa but i belive that to be more with camara angles in the case of 3D.
Here is a short animation that I like aswel and I think is animated really well.
Yes I know its Anime, but I love it and I am highly influenced by Anime!(THE main reason I'm on this course, and to be truthful this page would consist completely of Anime... but I won't) And definately this scene as I also find the animation here very well done.
It doesn't use the 12 principles of animation but that doesn't mean that the animation isn't good. Personally I like animation that moves very smoothly and with the little details that makes the differences. I think that anime style works really well and expresses what it wants/needs to express perfectly. I know it's frowned upon alot since the style isn't original but that doen't make it any less good or less appealing.
Another 2D animation that I really like is "The road to Eldorado".
The animaiton is very smooth, good pose to pose animation and even the lip syncing is very well done.
Altough I like these animations, I preffere to work in short animations.
