Talk:Twelve basic principles of animation

Copyvio

Removed the Beauty Beast image - it's a WP:copyvio in this context.

Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. Where possible, non-free content is transformed into free material instead of using a fair-use defense, or replaced with a freer alternative if one of acceptable quality is available; "acceptable quality" means a quality sufficient to serve the encyclopedic purpose. (As a quick test, before adding an image requiring a rationale, ask yourself: "Can this image be replaced by a free one that has the same effect?" and "Could the subject be adequately conveyed by text without using the image at all?" If the answer to either is yes, the image probably does not meet this criterion.) --Janke | Talk 04:32, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Bias?

"Modern-day animators, working with computers, may not need to draw at all. Yet their work can still benefit greatly from a basic understanding of these principles."

Sounds like the sort of statement that would be made by a traditional artist who does not have a solid grasp of Digital animation. Of course, some animators, particularly in film or using programs designed for amateurs do not model / draw as there is dedicated staff for those roles but the statement seems to imply that this content appears from nowhere. This is an attitude, as a 3D artist, I have encountered in traditional art circles a number of times and I think this statement should be modified to remove this kind of bias for fear of damaging peoples understanding of this subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.104.81.118 (talk) 00:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
