#Transformers
Does anyone else watch the Transformers? If you do, am I being too
critical of what seems to be an absolutely pointless use of computer animation?
The show itself appears to be done with traditional animation methods, and none
too well at that, but they use a number of different computer generated
cutscenes in what I find a very irratating manner. It seems like 1/3 of the
show is taken up by meaningless cutscenes that serve no purpose other than to
show off some very basic animation skills that are used in a manner that just
screams "Look, we have a computer but we don't know what to do with it!"
I find it very distracting to be watching an action scene that employs one
or more of these cutscenes just to pan from one character to another in the
middle of the action. They seem to be using it for no reason other than that
some computer animation is the "in" thing to do. For me, that's no reason.
