Paul Wells Understanding Animation Reading Week 1

From reading Wells Animation Genre and Authorship 
Chapter 1
i found this quote from the reading saying:
In what has become one of the most oft- quoted insights about the animation process , master animator Norman Mclaren suggests: 'how it moves is more important than what moves... what the animator does on each frame of film is not as important as what he or she does in between.'' quoted in solomon 1987:11 

Mclaren directs us as animators to focus on the movement of characters, objects, all that is in the frame, and what it directs to express. as animation opens up greater freedom than to live action on  ways to express. He also states that in the second part the animator must ensure that technical, aesthetic and conceptual continuity is achieved frame by frame, and that 'closure' or understanding of the coherence of the frames be understood by the viewers. Meaning animators should focused on also how the story is put together through frames, and each transition should be carefully chosen, be able to express in the flow of imagery.

Chapter 4

'Animation is especially persuasive in depicting such states of consciousness - memory, fantasy, dream, and so on - because it can easily resist the conventions of the material world and the realist representation that characterises live action cinema.' 

This quote states how animation can resist conversion of the material world, and be very persuasive in depicting different states of consciousness.
Therefore allows animation as a medium to explore further expressions and ways to show ideas. Interns of aesthetic in my animation could be helped with his medium, as a cross over with different mediums for example photographs, and drawings could be both integrated in to the animation. 

Further Investigation should be made on animation regarding conciseness, memory, fantasy, and dream. moreover focus on looking at how the animators uses transition in terms of editing, frame after frame, and how they uses this unique medium to new ways of expressing ideas.
