Museum Pieces

Interesting what low-information can do.

The show “ ‘Ice Age’ to the Digital Age: The 3D Animation Art of Blue Sky Studios,” arrived at the Katonah Museum of Art here in September, and since then, Chris Wedge, one of the studio’s founders and its creative director, has been on hand a few times to give talks and tours. ...

“A lot of times people come in and they’re thinking an animated movie is something that someone took a camera and shot, and then it just landed on your screen,” he said. “Because that’s what it looks like.” ...

I doubt that there are many computer-savvy sixteen-year-olds think that CG animation is "shot with a camera."

But maybe their younger siblings. Or parents.

Who knows at this point, I wouldn't want to say what percentage of the population out there really thinks that way about the matter, but you'd be surprised how in-the-dark some can be.
