I'm not an animator, but I have a great deal of background in business
administration.
And I do own a 3D Animation company.
You'll see fur fly over this comment:

 "Good Animation is in the eye of the guy paying for it...not the artists who
critique it!."

The animators I work with talk about artsy, craftsy things. Lighting, Quality
of the model and etc....Sure this has something to do with it......But if I
can't sell it, it's trash !  (Gee, did I say that)
Not everyone enjoys opera,  there are a lot more seats sold to country
western shows each year in the US than to the opera. IE: Movies vs. Flyling
Logos
In other words,  creating good animation is more than lighting, models and
textures, it's coming up with GOOD IDEAS that will sell the viewer when they
see the animation.
The texture might be off a little, but the guy sitting there watching the
game with a six pack at his side doesn't have a clue......But if you don't
get his attention with the logo, etc. your client just ate the !?@.....
Go ahead, win that award, all the guys will tell you how great you are, while
your client goes Bankrupt, even with incredible modeling and etc.
Can you make more than $5 an hour ?   Sure !!!!  But you gotta do a lotta
things right.
You got to have big B_ _ _ S, you've got to be a risk taker, and you gotta
have a little luck.  Doesn't hurt to do quality animations that have MEANING
for the client. Not just art.
I'm already ducking and I haven't even hit the send key....
Just .02 cents worth from a non artist, non animator that thnks there's a lot
of fun, and a lot of money in this industry....for the right people.
