I'm just starting, and I know very little about animation, so I'm hoping someone can help me with this.

I understand that computer animation is the latest phase in the business, and it is superior to hand-drawn animation, because computer modelling offers far more detail than the traditional variety. If so, then I'm wondering why anyone is still using 2- and 3-D stills.

I'm a very poor artist, but I have very good mathematical and computer skills, and I like story-telling, so I am leaning now towards doing some work in computer animation. If someone can advise me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
