I love armstrongs work, and I think he's brilliant. I also think he is very capable of learning all the necessary software, gizmo and gadgets - but I also believe he enjoys the animation aspect of it and wants to be able to stay fast from concept to creation.
everything swoop ever points out is about team thinking, where your job is rigging, or making a character ....where as armstrong is delivering whole movie concepts to his clients.
It's simply a different game , and at this point - I'd have to question swoops motives for being so rebellious to that workflow, especially after it's been made painfully clear to him.
We have our talented modelers, but we also have our directors.
Get a grip! - here's a clue, great directors have a better chance at being efficient techies, than techies have of being great directors ......I've been both and know how much effort it took to snap myself out of the "Industry standard" "today's pop" "pop culture"
you can't be a trend setter if you only follow trends!
if picasso would have spent most of his life hunting down berries to make paint, he wouldn't have had enough time to be picasso!
