#3I think his conclusion about pivoting when a more efficient method was necessary is totally reasonable. I would wager a significant amount of any frame-by-frame animation takes similar shortcuts, so it doesn’t reduce the quality of the final product in any way, imho. There’s nothing “pure” about the process of creating motion pictures. It’s all tricks. The result is all that matters.
I’m not sure why he would even “fake it” in the first place. Part of making something is the journey to get there and often an initial idea doesn’t work out, or a better way is discovered once the work begins. That’s what I enjoy about watching makers: how they pivot when they run up against a wall.

However, it's in that valley where creativity thrives because it takes out-of-the-box thinking (or a switch of toolboxes) to climb out.
Creative success isn't always about sticking to the plan. It more often than not looks like finding alternate solutions and being flexible in the face of challenges."

#7When you realise that
a) it's easy to lie with videos, and
b) videos are still way more trustworthy than any other media on the internet because those are even easier to fake
It's not hard to think that you really shouldn't rely on the internet as a source of truth for anything anymore.

It’s some variation of that.

#9As the mantra went in film school, a zillion years ago, before we had clicks to fake things for: The most creative people do the best job of hiding the source of their creativity.
Like it or not, stuff like this has been the norm in the art world since forever.
