You're dealing with conflicting visions on set. How can you bridge the gap between videographers and editors?
The question raised by this article addresses a problem that shouldn't exist to begin with. Editors often get involved only after filming has wrapped and the "videographer" (actually, cinematographer or DP) has wrapped their work. Even if they're working in tandem, they rarely interface with each other. Also, neither of them should have a "vision" and if they do, that means the person who should, the director, isn't doing their job. If that's the case, this article may offer some troubleshooting advice, but really, just hire a good director and get on with it.

How can you create a sense of chaos in 2D animations?
The universe, being chaotic in nature, doesn't require "context" as a prerequisite to chaos. It's helpful to remember that it's the *absence* of chaos that makes animation feel artificial and "unrealistic", and it's only there due to the mechanics of the medium. That chaos needs to be "generated" is a bug, not a feature. So I would argue it's equally important to define context for an *absent* of chaos. When animating a scene that feels calibrated, perfectly timed, frictionless, ask yourself what is the cause for this? Am I depicting a swiss-clock-like mechanism? To what end? And be mindful that answer isn't "because creating chaos in animation is very difficult, and I'm just too lazy to do it".
