Why did the man who created the animated hit decide to walk away?

Within the article it goes on to say that the reason that he stepped down from making the tv series was that it was driving him crazy. after almost going homeless to one of the most famous tv show creators. it seems that it would be the life but I guess not. I guess that it can be harder then it seems. In my opinion I can see how walking away and backing down can really help and be for the greater good of him self and the tv show. He is not completely got and out of the picture be just simply a writer. And that seems like a more stress free life to me.   

SFX vs. VFX: Two Effects Artists Discuss the Differences Between Practical & CGI

     Within this article the ever going debate between if practical effects are better then CGI and vis versa. and in my honest opinion I lean more with the practical side in the debate. but not by a lot. Like the article goes to say that they both go with each other hand in hand. I always ask that if you can create it in real life then its better then just on the scene. But without one there can not thrive and better its self. I fell in love with creating practical effects and a young age just like tom saivni, makeing different cuts and scrapes on my self and playing with my mothers makeup often justing in trouble for it as well.
      There has and always will be a need for Special Effects techniques in the world no matter what time it is and or where you are. Its one of the oldest art forms out there and take an experienced eye to create something worth looking at. In its own way CGI's are a wonder to have in this world. There are really good CGI's and then there are some really bad ones, And the same goes for practical. But both can be used in the most simplest ways at you probably haven't payed to much attention to. Ever watched a hospital soap opera before.... ER, Grey's Anatomy? The little cuts and scrapes had to be made on set with SXF techniques. Even on the TV show Bones which uses a lot of practical and CGI effects needs to have fake bones, teeth, blood, etc. So with all the being said there is no right or wrong no good or bad just preference and having the ability to produces the desired effect.

Why Animation Continues to Thrive as an Art Form and an Industry

 

Animation will always have a great impact on the world and have an upper hand in the art form and industry. with jobs ranging from producer all the way to the guy that sweeps the set after the shoot. the possibilities within this industry are truly endless. and with knowing the right people and working your way up the pole you can sit quite nicely and be able to not worry about what I'm going to do after this film is done and where will I go after its all said and done. and that is what I like about the animation work field. you don't have to be good with computers and know how to make a particle emitter if you can advertise well and sell milk to a cow then you can find a pretty will paying job any where.
