I prefer these traditional effects over the ones used in videos today. A video with this type of artwork somehow feels more human, more artistic, than faking real images with computers.

@ordi75 I was during that period of time, so pretty much every computer is less powerful than today's cell phones. Still, the best computer is in your skull and nothing can replicate what it can do to the fullest, even andriods are programed to respond to certain commands.

@ordi75 Talking about our eyes, they can auto focus faster than you can say "a". Which means that we get to see thing in the time that we need.

Looking at this I still can't believe they sent men to the moon with computers less powerful than today's cell phones!

@jasleil Fully agreeing with you on that note, even the human eyes outrun all of todays DSLR cameras and I reckon they will for a good amount of time in the future.
