Would love to survive purely on one-off, high-detail imaginative stuff for editorial, but coming in late to the game, editorial work is all too rare. So I suppose I'm pro-animation. It means I can eat. This is my first post as an IGI member btw..

Many saw this as being possibly extra work for the same rates.

Other than that it's pretty much a non issue for me, or am I missing a huge point here??

To many fans, they don't, though they can be entertaining. Comics aren't storyboards, still images (paintings, illustrations) aren't frustrated animations. Visual spoon-feeding of this kind fails to recognise the crucial involvement of the viewer's imagination. I'm sure technology such as the iPad will herald a new strain of moving or interactive illustration, but the demand for still images will continue.
