With home and work computers becoming so widespread, affordable and versatile, classic 2D animation is much easier than it used to be. Physical frames and cells are no longer a requirement for animators, and now entire characters can be re-used at any time or transferred between devices with ease. Rotoscoping is much simpler now, and there is a wealth of images online that can be traced by animators as references. Adding colour to animations is also incredibly easy thanks to the huge variety of image editing tools that exist, many of which are free and easily upgradable with plugins.

3D models and their details are always constantly improving, pushing the limits each time. It’s possible to create a character ‘skeleton’ rig – which manages how and where they can bend, that mimics every bone in the human body, or literally paste a high-resolution image of an actor’s face onto a character. It’s even possible to motion-capture an actor’s face while they record their lines, making every facial muscle move exactly how it did in real life: this can even be expanded to literally re-creating an actor in a digital form, with every detail being almost one-hundred percent accurate to the real life individual.
