By the way I was only thinking about this because of this random Linkara thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1SJzj8n2cAwhere they talk about flatness as well, usually flatness is what gives that really cheap look, because it's just to get the scene done it's not thinking about the frame, every frame needs to be something, everything in the frame needs to mean something. If you put a gun on the wall you better use it and so on that kind of thing. It's ironic because in animation you have total control over all this, but at the same time that means you have to think about it a lot more. You can't use the actual world to complete the job for you. You can't have actors sponta–
anyways, stop doing flat shots! But of coruse in terms of anime that's sort of the thing, Like I always say looney tunes is what animation is. Anime doesn't understand animation, it doesn't care about animtion ironically, Japan produces so much and yet it doesnt' fundementally understand what animation is.
