I have an animation degree (never pursued it professionally). For one project, I took some shortcuts, and ‘owned up’ to it during the presentation to the class. My lecturer interrupted me and wanted to emphasise that there is no ‘cheating’ in animation - you get the end result whichever way you want. Experimentation happened all the time in traditional practice and ended up becoming indispensable innovations across the industry. I now work more with data and documents, but I still apply that mindset to my work.
