Technically, \u201cThe Animator\u2019s Way of Surviving the Crisis\u201c accomplishes a 100% reproduction of traditional animation techniques \u2013 a digital movie with the special magic of pencil and paper. It describes the dilemma that media creators have to face in these times of crisis: Even though they are trained to work creatively at their computer around the clock, they may find themselves totally helpless when practical skills are required. In a crisis, what does a person have to offer who is well versed in nothing but the use of pen and paper?! The romantic ideal imagines the artist to reach top form when faced with a crisis. but reality looks quite different \u2026 \u201eThe Animator\u2019s Way of Surviving the Crisis\u201c depicts the contradiction between romantic ideal and grim reality in a humorous way. Again and again, the art of drawing becomes the focal point of the narrative, being advertised as magic bullet against every problem. This ideal becomes increasingly absurd and lacks any foundation in reality \u2013 in much the same way in which this film is not really drawn with a pen or on paper. Nevertheless, the end shows a clear tendency to trust in the power of creativity to overcome real obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
