Effects - A special type
of animator was the
effects animator, whose job it was to add such
elements as fire, explosions, lightning, clouds,
shadows, smoke, and water to the animated
films. Working along with the character
animators, the effects animators added interest
and enhanced the look of the cartoons. The
Academy Award-winning cartoon, "The Old
Mill," was an excellent example of their work,
with the effects creating a mood and the
characters being secondary.
