huanim1-2, Exercise 1: Pre-war working conditions

Model answer:

Animators worked in small workshops, mostly on advertising films and short cartoons for cinemas, with little money, slow frame-by-frame methods and small teams. There was no television, so a film reached the public only if a cinema chose to show it.

Two limits: films were short (long films were too costly), and the style stayed graphic and simple, drawn from poster and cartoon art, because elaborate techniques were out of reach. Details should be checked.
