Theory of Animation Response

Though I find that I am actually more attracted to the orthodox 'cel' animation style, I very much found Wells' article quite intriguing, particularly the basic contrasts between the two different styles of orthodox and experimental animations.
I find the most attractive aspects of experimental animation to be the concepts of dynamics of musicality and the presence of the artist. The rhythms and colors of any form of experimental film are crucial. It creates a beautiful flow and essentially develops a sense of specific non-continuity as stated in the article. This flow seemingly connects all images and shapes placed on screen, providing the viewer with a substantial connection throughout the film. The idea of the artist standing out as an individual is also quite exciting. The singular artist in question, works to express his/her indivual emotions, mindsets, or creative urges on screen through the means of experimental animation. The orthodox animator must adhere to strict guidelines, creating similar images as the previous animator in his line of essentially industrialized production. Not to discredit that type of animation whatsoever. I find it to be quite difficult and admire all those that have dedicated their lives to producing legendary cartoons such as the seminal Chuck Jones. I believe that either stylistic form that one may choose will lead to great artistic benefits in its own right.
