Fascinating read for animation nerds.

"There’s a sense of irony about trying to recapture this look, in that we’re now fighting the medium from the opposite end. Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, the camera operators were constantly battling dirt to make something clean and presentable. In a digital production pipeline, the computer makes the image perfect at every step. To create something that feels natural, you have to fight to put the dirt back in."

"It’s the only way to get that “dangerous” light, the kind that actually feels like it’s burning the screen."
