One element which I think is a great asset to animation is it's ability to describe and portray a message of human experience. Concerning our feelings and emotions, they are an abstract concept which is not tangible and cannot be done justice by words alone. I believe we can also get these kinds of messages across through other mediums, such as painting. However, where painting is concerned, the experience is in the exploration of the still, where it's life is created by the viewer, whom renders it dynamic in interpretation.
In animation, it is the combination of stills, with audio many times, which delivers a completely different kind of message and sensation. I think through this combination we can share these experiences with others, as long as they are willing to experience.
