And that process is surprisingly full of rigour and self-imposed restriction. Cinema is an excellent example of this. Good cinematographers follow a set of cinematic conventions that have emerged as "rules" and around which the industry has evolved (like the single-camera convention). Great cinematographers invent rules and convey them to the viewer in the first act and use them to communicate the rest of the film. And to make this point even more clear you could substitute throughout the above for animation/animators, and everyone would get it.
