A STORY IN MOTION

Since its official introduction to the world in the 19th century, animation has rapidly evolved alongside continuous technological advancements. Through the constant shifts in the industry, humans have been able to adapt and work in tandem with technology in order to achieve animation breakthroughs. Though while doing so the industry began to inadvertently lose traces of human craft and involvement that gave animation life in the first place. As industries continue to venture away from traditional methodologies into fully automated ones, human creative property and roles begin to increasingly be infringed upon. As automation grows to become the standard across all industries, it begins to change the ways in which society views and values human creativity, contributions and labor.
