It appears that compositing allows for a number of effects that can push something further and make a more provocative effect. In using particular tools in order to attain the effects desired one can achieve color accuracy or make it suit the color palette chosen for it. Thus enhancing the visual with the change in color through: blend operations, alpha channels, and splines (masks).

I'm not keen on taking risks but will will try things that come to mind. I have no problem with looking things up but I don't usually though I'll mentally reference things that I've seen done before and use it.
Storyboards and animatics I have found invaluable, Storyboards being the most useful to me. I can estimate theme that it will take in order to animate something then change it once i get to the actual animating phase. Not to discredit animatics, they ensure that before you do the full fledged animation that the timing is just right and you can see a preliminary version of the final product.

I realize the importance of storytelling and how pacing is essentially everything when it comes to translating it. I you tell a lateral storyline it is very straightforward but it must also be kept in mind that only so much can be shown to the audience otherwise it will confuse them so parts will have to be removed for clarity. Lingering on a scene, object or action it is suddenly given importance, the less time one has with a visual the less important it is to the audience because they aren't given the time to acknowledge it.
One can benefit from a montage as a means of hinting at what is going on over a span of time without having to go into great detail.

I 've heard the word interpolation when it came to the default on camera movements in Cinema 4D but the other forms of interpolation I'm unfamiliar with. But when reading the descriptions I've used them in both 3D and 2D animation before: spacial interpolation, visual interpolation and temporal interpolation. I'm glad to know the technical terms for what I've been doing now, I've been trying to increase my knowledge in the vocabulary of the field of animation and since these are such integral things I feel that its important to know.
