What effect has CGI had on the film and Animation industry?
Research Methodology:
There are a few problems with research the CGI and animation. Firstly people's views always differ considerably among authors. But regarding the film industry, people interpret events differently. So while author x may think that 'Finding Nemo' really put the nail in cell animations coffin, author y may think that cell animation was long dead. So there is a certain level of difficulty when considering your own interpretation of events. It would be difficult to doubt that CGI had an effect on the film industry, but different sources
For my research, I am using a broad range of secondary resources for example Beck (2004 pp 336-346) argument that at the turn of the century, traditional animation studios had to rapidly rethink their strategy. Or Thomson & Bordwell (2010 pp719-722) argument about traditional cell animation and its decline, despite Disney's success with 'Lilo & stitch'. The research for this paper will mainly be secondary texts although a few relevant articles have been found on Computer animation.
That is that i have written so far, am I going on the right lines?
Looks good in my eyes, although it looks like there is something missing at the end of the first paragraph.
